Completely new to PC gaming.

[Louis Nolloth]

Firstly, thank you to anyone that takes the time to read and reply to this.

I am brand new to the world of PC gaming after being a long time console gamer but decided its time to take the next step.

I am looking for the best gaming PC i can get for a budget of around £1200. As i have literally no experience in building a computer ideally i was looking for a "pre built" machine. The problem being there are just so many out there i really don't know if i am getting value for money

I'm looking to play a lot of MMO type games if that makes any difference as well as some of the newer AAA games from time to time

If anyone could help me out, recommend anything thing out there it would be hugely appreciated

Hi,

yes will need a monitor but that can fall outside the 1200 budget for the PC itself

Thanks

I would say i have around 200 - 300 for the monitor. I assume that would be enough for a half decent one?!

Actually found a decent pre-built, Intel six-core i5-8400.

​

It includes Windows 10 and a 1TB HDD as well as the other stuff listed. PSU is meh but motherboard is ok and case is a nice Phanteks glass.

Would the psu be an issue with this one? Would rather pay a little more if necessary to ensure it's okay
