£1000 Gaming PC

Donny84 · 21 Mar 2019 at 21:08

Hi guys.
Could any of you help spec me a gaming rig for around £1000 please?
Mostly play shooters and assassins creed type games.
Literally just need the rig itself, no windows, monitor or peripherals.
Gonna do a little OCing on the GPU and CPU also.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks.
Would you not recommend a CPU cooler if i'm going to do some overclocking? Or is the stock good enough?

well, yes and no.
yes an aftermarket cooler will suit you well if you're going to overclock (or let AMD's overboost algorithms do its job - it's plenty good tbh)
no, because no budget lol...heck, if you haven't noticed - rtx 2070 in a £1000 build!

@Donny84
just had a look. ryzen 2600 can be bought for £145 elsewhere, freeing up £25 - can put this towards an aftermarket cooler

Ah nice one. Thanks dude.

if you can throw in an extra £7 into the budget, and want a more understated case, then consider this:

1 x Three Fan Bundle - BitFenix Spectre Plain BLACK 120mm Fan= £9.95

£25 less on the CPU elsewhere, and you get free shipping from OCUK, so still under a grand.
