Need a new PC. £750

BoasterJake · 6 Apr 2014 at 21:36

Hello all,

I am in need of a new PC as mine is a bit too old now. My budget is around £750. I have absolutely no idea what i need. I have an Uncle who will make it for me, so that side is sorted. Just rumor has it its cheaper buying everything separately.

Thanks Jake

Hi Jake,

Do you need:

Operating system.
Monitor.
Keyboard.
Mouse.

As well as a full system?

t31os · 6 Apr 2014 at 21:49

As above, what do you need? Just the tower, peripherals, os, screen?

Also is this a gaming pc ?

BoasterJake · 6 Apr 2014 at 21:58

Hello again, thanks for the replies.

Yes it will be a gaming PC. Mainly for CS:GO atm. The monitor i have in mind is http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-097-BQ.

I have a Mouse/Keyboard/Headset, so wont be required. Just the PC itself.

I may be able to sort out the operating system myself.

This to be honest. I was going to do a spec but mine ended up almost exactly the same. It gives the best balance whilst staying (almost) within budget
