I am planning on building a first gaming PC, mainly for playing PUBG, but may also be other games. The budget of it is £900-1000 (GBP) for a whole setup.

It will only need to be running the one monitor, which along with all the peripherals should be in the budget. Any help and advice would be happily received.

Here is a link to the current PCpartpicker list I have set up: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Dazz/saved/Z3fP3C

UPDATE

Here is the new parts list: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/NcJ4YT

 

Thanks in advance, Dazz

 Baselines.

1. Don't get a i7. Get a overclockable I5.

2. Wait for monday so you can see if the rtx 2080 is worth it.

3. Don't get a case if you are short on budget. The motherboard box will work. (People are prob gonna question this)

4. If you are short on budget, get z170/z270. z370 is jacked up too much.

You might as well be getting Ryzen at that point. Z270/Z170 isn't compatible with Coffee Lake, with the i5 7600K being beat by the R5 1600/2600 and the i7 7700K being beaten  by i5 8600K.

I think that build looks pretty good. I would just go for dual channel memory as well as wait until Monday to see if prices go down

Okay thank you, I have updated it now to have dual channel, and will keep an eye on the prices over the next few days.
