Hi lads, very new to PC gaming and would love a machine that has a bit of everything.

I want a fast processor thats capable of running many tasks at a smooth rate, good graphics that can run demanding games to a high standard, i edit videos and game a lot.

I also need a gaming monitor, keyboard and mouse!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
You can for a fee and if you ask customer services, or try building it yourself as there are many guides in written format or video on Youtube etc.

Or would you prefer a prebuilt PC? as there are options available.

Watch a few YouTube videos and you'll be pretty much set. Take a look at CareyHolzman on there, he's very good at going through the whole build process for beginners. Of course if you ever get stuck, you can ask on here.
