Hi, I want a £900 build, and have £900 to spend on the entire thing, including keyboard, mouse and monitor. I want the whole set up done for £900, can anyone suggest me a good build, that I can play some what decent new gen games. E.g Fortnite, PUBG. ect.
 
would be in budget if you get windows from an alternative source :)

Do you also think it'll decrease the performance by removing the ssd, I feel like that can be added in the near future when the price is abit lower. I have a budget of £900 smack on, no higher :(

also need to add wifi. :P

personally, i wouldn't. i'd get an ssd and use that as the primary drive. getting a hdd/external hdd added for extra storage later down the line is the more convenient way to do it.
also, i'm assuming you've never used an ssd before which is why you'd want to drop it?
it's honestly the single best thing you can do for system responsiveness/quality of life improvement for a computer. ever. once you've used a computer with an ssd, you'd wonder why you didn't get one sooner :D

k

so taking your comments into consideration, my revised spec for your consideration would be to:
1) drop the hdd altogether, and get a 500gb ssd instead - this space should last longer before requiring to get a hdd for storage
2) cheaper kb/mouse
3) added in wifi card
4) some money left in the budget for ocuk to build the spec for you :)

Done, I've requested it in the customer services thread, however it appears that no one has responded as of yet hoping to get this built over this week and have it delivered by the end of this week. fingers crossed it will :p
 
Initial post was made at 11:30 so hopefully it'll be some time soon when they post. :) Thanks for all the help Tamzzy. I appreciate it.

You could also save on the headset. Could just buy a cheap mic and use iPhone headphones if you're looking to squeeze out a few extra pounds.

I would put the extra into a monitor. Your monitor to being just over half the price of your headset leaves me feeling uneasy!

i did think about that, but the cheapest 24" 1080p monitor is £90, but it's a VA screen and i'm assuming, being that cheap that there'll be a lot of ghosting as per cheap VA screens.
the next cheapest TN 1080p screen is £110
and besides, the cerberus headset for £30 is a steal
