Hey guys,

Right so I have £800 to spend on a new PC for my Mrs.

Now my Mrs will use it for 2 things mainly. Gaming (Overwatch & Destiny 2) and Designing, so I just want to make sure it handles those tasks well enough. In regards to Overwatch I ideally want it to run on High and comfortably but I know Destiny 2 is a bit more demanding so Medium is more than ok if needed.

Other wants:
250GB SSD
8GB or 16GB of Ram
1TB HDD
Windows 10

Now I have another £200 set aside for a monitor to go with it too, so if there are any recommendations please let me know. (if its aesthetically pleasing that will be a bonus).

Ideally for we'd have it pre-built, but if you guys are kind enough to give me a make-it-yourself option as well as pre-built that would be fab.

Looking to buy by EOW!

Thanks
 
Hey buddy, thats amazing thank you!

But with that Im still missing Windows 10 and a SSD, any idea what I could change/minimize to potentially sneak them in? I know I can whack about £50 off the monitor price you found if absolutely needed.

Thanks!
 
Destiny 2 and Overwatch will be the main ones.

- Kinda messed around with some stuff you sent (I have no idea how to copy my basket so...)

Would this be ok?
Do I need some sort of coolers or anything else etc.? Yeah I found a copy of Windows and can install it via USB so im fine without that.

Thanks dude!
 
Awesome, I've added in a 1TB HDD (didnt realise I missed it haha)
And replaced the case for the 301 you suggested.
Went back to the EVGA PSU too

Do I need any extra fans or anything?

Otherwise that should be me set
 
Im cool with that.

So my final basket will be:
My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £895.46

Look good to you?
P.S. I dropped down to 8GB for now and will upgrade it to 16gb in due course
 
Awesome.
Also whats the best monitor for under £200?

I do have a Acer Predator (for myself) that i love, was thinking of just getting the same for this build. But is there something better?
 
Heya,

Thanks for the advice dudes.
I just realised... dont I need some sort of soundcard? So I can plug my headphones/speakers in?

Also haha she can have the better monitor, she needs it ;)
