Build me a PC for £800

[agnes]

This is for my partner, she's just got some money to build her self a new PC. 1080p res gaming, with possability of 1440p later on. She's a senior software engineer but does 90% of her work on a Mac anyway.

She plays a lot of games but that's about it.

Any preference AMD or Intel ?

 

[agnes]

Intel and Nvidia, not a big fan of the red team.

Ah yes, forgot to mention, no need for HDD's, so maybe upgrade to a 1080 instead of 1060 if you remove the SSD and HDD?

@agnes

tried hard to keep it Intel but with GTX 1080 and 1080p your going to hit a bottle neck with having to select a low speed core

team red give the system a bit longer life span for the cost, 4 cores with 8 threads- lower cashe then 1500x version but shouldn't notice the difference to much, overclock to match Intel and 1070 to bring down the cost- I gamed with 1070 @ 1440p within 60hz/fps just fine at high settings

You can get the 1080 Reference cooled for £450 from OCUK now though...

Maybe worth picking up the CPU and GPU second hand?

We're building in the states as well, not over here.

You probably know already but the micro place is good for cpu/mobo combos over there, depending on particular state tax applied. And then the rest from elsewhere.
