I'm wanting to build a new PC for FFXIV, mainly for when Heavensward comes out. £600 is to allow me to also buy this screen (isn't included with the £600, just so you know what kind of resolution I may like to play games at): https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-204-SA&groupid=17&catid=1895

What is the best PC build I can get for £600?

Preferences:
NZXT Phantom styled cases.. or similar.
Intel CPU
Nvidia GPU
Windows 7
No water cooling.

You will not build a PC for £600 that can run modern games at the 4K resolution of that monitor.

How about balancing it out a bit and getting a 1080P or 1440P screen which will be cheaper and then having a better PC that can run games at those resolutions?

Okay, I might go with a 1440P screen, I think this one looks good: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-079-AS&groupid=17&catid=510, but if you can recommend a cheaper one that is just as good as an ASUS one, then that be good and I'll probably be able to go a bit higher of a budget, I think with this screen I can go for £700 anyways.

It might be easier for me to know the total budget for everything, is it £1200 or £1000 etc.

What parts do you need, OS, keyboard, mouse, speakers or is it just the tower+screen.

£1000 with tower/screen. Nope, just the screen/tower, I have everything else and they can all be updated at another time if I ever feel like I need to.. Wifi isn't even an issue either as I have a USB one that works fine for me.

Dont think you can get a 1440P and a decent GFX card able to run that resolution.

Or there are some bgrade cards - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BG-001-GX&groupid=595&catid=683 - they've been on ETA since they appeared, ask customer services if you want one, maybe they can tell you whats happening with them.


You are confident in building a PC? you dont need it built for you?

No, I shouldn't need it built for me, I have looked at the prebuild deals but I can't really see any that will allow me to get a screen with them for below £1000, unless you can link me one, it will be handy as there are some bits I don't really like going near when it comes to building them. I like the second build. I don't really need the 250GB + 1TB, 120GB + 1TB would probably do me fine.. I only do play one game. I'm probably not so keen in the screen as it is similar to what I have at the moment.

Also, might add I never really play games full screen, I play them windowed as I do other things or have other pages open up for like quick locations of gathering items/raid loot/teamspeak etc.
