Part list

 

My budget is around £1200 but I can only use amazon parts (UK).

 

I'm trying to make the best gaming computer that's balanced for this price.

 

I'm going to be using it on my 32" in 1 tv/monitor combo from Samsung.

 

I have a Steelseries rival 100 mouse, an old ps/2 dell keyboard, a Steelseries Siberia 200 headset and an externally powered portable HDD.

 

I'm upgrading because my current PC (A 20+ year old dell dimension) and my 5 year old hp laptop with dual radeon graphics don't really do much gaming, I need those sweet CSGO frames and stable Black ops 3 60 fps.

 

I realise the computer is way overkill for this but seeing how my dell computer has become obsolete so quickly, I want this to last longer.

Much better motherboard, much better PSU, better graphics card. An m.2 SATA SSD is a waste of money IMO since 2.5 inch SSDs are identical in performance but are still cheaper. Added a hard drive as well, just in case you'd want more space.

 

Bear in mind that you may need to order an AMD boot kit to update the BIOS on the board to accept the 2600X. AMD boot kit info. Should work for UK.
