Back into PC Gaming

[Ben2610]

Hi all.
After spending far too long spending time and wasting my money on console gaming (Xbox) I have decided to return to PC Gaming. Why I quit you may ask? I started on a Lenovo laptop with a intel i7 processor and a GeForce 740M and when the keyboard broke I had no money to replace the laptop. I waited till the next Christmas to get a laptop again and I was gifted a xbox. Sad times.

I now wish to return to PC Gaming but have £500 pounds to spend. I eventually intend to upgrade my PC but also have other things to pay for. I would like to use this PC for playing; Microsoft Flight Sim (2020), Arma 3 and ETS2. If anyone has any ideas and help I would be more than grateful.

I currently do not have a monitor. I would probably use my TV for the time being. And would be able to bump my budget to £600. However,

I’d stick with consoles. The next round of them will be very powerful.

, this is right as well. I’m not sure... I’m feeling PC more at the moment. Much larger variety in games and possibilities whereas consoles come with set power, PCs can be upgraded

Thank you very much for your help. How do I now go about buying this? Also, despite the new consoles going to be much better than the price equiv PCs. They don’t allow for upgrades once their prime as gone, thus, eventually become the same as every other console. Whereas, with PCs you can forever upgrade them (which I’m sure you already know).

Okay, so after spending some time looking into PC's and seeing the suggestions you guys have made. I have realised that having more money would probably be a better idea. So, I have allocated £1000 to a gaming PC build. The games I would play are Arma 3 and Flight Sim 2020 when it comes out. I would like to play arma on med to high graphics and same with flight sim 2020. Are there any more suggestions as to what I should go for now? Thanks
