Advice on a £1,000 gaming build if possible please

HI all,

First off apologies for yet another 'new build thread'.

This will be my first time constructing a PC so any advice would be appreciated on change of parts etc. Budget is in the £800 to £1,000 range and no monitor/OS required for purchase now.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the advice, fellas - Much appreciated. I'll do a little more research and get back to you.

I'm trying to stay away frm asking people just to spec me something. Seems a tad lazy when I should be doing some research myself

I think I'll stick with the case and combine with the PSU suggested by Cookeh.

PSU seems to be very much a deal killer in that a poor one can ruin a system. I don;t think that is where I should skimp.

Hving done some research into the SSDs I'm not sure what the advantage would be for a gaming rig. Any comments as I'm a bit of a noob when it come to this?

Cheers Chaps - some great help here

I'm erring towards a slightly larger case (the 932 probably), the single GPU (for cheaper potential upgrades in the future) and not taking the SSD. Not convinced on the benefits for a mainly gaming rig. Open to being talked round though
