First build.....help (4K gaming)

[Chucky1892]

Hi all,

Looking to build my first gaming pc.

Have considered one of the pre-builds and have played about with customisation, but I'm sure I can build something just as good for cheaper myself. Only problem is, I don't really know what I'm looking for lol.

So - anyone interested in helping a noob.

I want to run a GTX 1080 ti for 4K - will be picking up a 4K monitor too.

The rest is open to suggestions

Budget £1500-2000 (not including monitor or peripherals)

Look forward to seeing what you guys can come up with.

Both builds could be made cheaper by going with a less expensive case, SATA SSD, Air cooler, different Ram (3000MHz) and cheaper version of the 1080 ti.
