£1500 max gaming pc

[iamdjdz]

I really want to spend about £1400 but I don't mind a little over.

Looking for a gaming PC, preferably i5 or i7 Skylake with liquid cpu cooling nothing too fancy and I'm not that bothered by anything else as long as it's good enough to run AAA for a few years and can be upgraded. I need a monitor too in the price, but don't need this to be anything fancy at the moment - will upgrade it in a few months so don't worry about 4k etc.

I've speccd a few of the OCUK system configs and might go for one of these but I'd like to see what you lot recommend as it's been about 10 years since I got a desktop and I've been using a laptop for the last 3 or 4.

I'm happy to build my own too if there is a better spec.

Build need not include mouse, keyboard, sound card (although I'll be getting one eventually), but I would like wireless, adapter or card.

Thanks

let me know when you get that spec

 

[Upgrade]

I got the following spec for around £1200. That would leave you £200 for a monitor if you like the look of my spec. Only problem I had with this build is that I was getting freezes, but it was fixed with disabling c-states. Other than that, everything runs super quiet and cool.

Noctua NH-D15 CPU Cooler
Gigabyte GA-Z170XP-SLI Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard
