Hi all, wondering if anybody could help me make a pc for the £650 mark. I don't mind spending a bit more if I will see huge improvements.
Thanks for your time,
PS do you think my price range will be affected by the new releases?
thanks again

How soon do you need to build your pc?

If you can wait a few months (until the new Ryzen CPUs and Nvidia/AMD graphics cards are available), it's likely that you will be able to get a much better deal on the previous generation CPUs and graphics cards. RAM and SSDs are also getting cheaper at the moment due to oversupply and lower demand.

No, I am able to wait for a while, anyways I should be able to have saved some more money from my summer job in the half term and could get a better one, thanks mate
