1000£ Gaming PC + 300£ budget for screen/keyboard

[mrh414]

Hey guys,

I'm just getting into PC gaming and would like some advice for a PC build with an average budget of around 1000£. I don't really know anything about PC gaming and a friend ask me to post here for advice. Additionally, I will add a maximum of 300£ for a screen and a keyboard. My current computer is so terrible that it is giving me cancer....Please help a patient in need

I would like the PC to run most current games at good fps and allow graphics of high quality.

Thank you so much guys,

Matt

no worries , Lee's is the swing around nvidia graphics which is just slightly behind in terms of graphics power but does consume less power and is a custom designed cooler and a lovely 1440p screen. I have my 1070/80 to a 75hz non g-sync monitor but only do sim and RTS so its not to bad for me , just wish i had sync for faster hz when i do jump into FPS now and again.

Key to mine is flashing of the Bios since its extra performance for free. Check out Vega 56 Owners thread in the GPU section

also check what games your installing or have installed for how much disk space they take ! will fill up quick. why i tend to use small SSD for OS then games on HDD or if i've got the cash larger SSD 500gb/1tb range
