Budget around £1250 - Looking for gaming

NokkonWud · 26 Oct 2023 at 23:13

Hi all,

I have a budget around £1250 and I am looking for a PC for gaming, ideally with things looking as possible.

It’s been a while since I’ve followed PC parts and am very much out of my depth right now.

Any and all suggestions very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Karl

What resolution/refresh?

Do you have anything that you can re-use? E.g. case, storage, PSU.

A full build, AMD/AM5:

My basket at OcUK:

1 x AMD Ryzen 5 7600 Six Core 5.10GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3DW-AM) = £218.99
1 x MSI Pro B650M-A WIFI (Socket AM5) DDR5 Micro-ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-378-MS) = £175.00

1 x SAPPHIRE PULSE AMD Radeon™ RX 7700 XT Gaming Graphics Card with 12GB GDDR6, AMD RDNA™ 3 architecture (SKU: GRA-SPR-00767) = £449.99
1 x WD Blue SN580 2TB SSD NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 Solid State Drive (SKU: STO-WDC-00541) = £99.94
1 x Lian Li Lancool 205M Mesh Micro-ATX PC Case Black (SKU: CA-7B2-LL) = £69.94

If its been a while, do you need to add a monitor to the upgrade list? Larger 1440p for instance ?

I do have a screen I could reuse, but wouldn’t be against getting another screen, albeit out of budget.

4K would be nice, but 1440p isn’t out of the question. Thanks.

I do have a mouse and keyboard.

Nice build.

@NokkonWud

Add an extra £50 and you can get a 7800xt , think it's worth the stretch.

Do what I did mate, and buy the monitor etc the month or 2 after, and use your current one in the meantime. That way you wont regret anything

and can build as beast of a system possible vs your budget first
