Ideally I'd love to play il2 battle of Stalingrad however it looks like a pretty demanding flight sim so would be struggling on this budget? Other than that it would be strategy games like the total war series.

I don't mind going up to 700 if there are significant gains but as I said I'm pretty out of the loop

Thanks for the help
 
The 1050 is really a budget gpu i would spend the extra on a stronger gpu, Take a look at he specs for Total War: Warhammer the latest in the version.

thanks for your help so far, this may seem like a stupid question but would it be cheaper to order the parts individually and assemble at home rather that configuring a machine that will be built by overclockers?
 
Yes you can get more for your money and there are some good deals at the momment.

Eqivalant spec.

thanks again for the help, if i was to go for for 700 would it be a case of upgrading the processor and graphics or is there anything else that should be upgraded first?

Also how do you do the neat component list like that?
 
This would be my choice if you if you can stretch gone for a gtx 1060 is where i would put the money and upped the ssd to 240gb. Slightly better psu also but could drop the ssd to 120gb to bring back down to budget but worth the stretch in my opinion.

To do the basket list press the bb code button at the bottom of the basket page and then copy and paste here the contents from the pop up window.

THIS is the build you want. Any game at 1080P on high or ultra. No problems. So much more powerful than the build with the 1050.
