Gaming PC - £1000 budget

[Adam1987]

Morning All,

I am looking to invest in a new desktop, aimed at gaming most of the latest titles.

First question before I get too involved…is £1000 a decent enough budget?

Are there any particular components to look at or avoid? Intel vs AMD?

I guess starting at a base level would be sufficient if it could lead to future upgrades as technology advances.

Thanks in advance

Are you building it yourself ?

What resolution will you be gaming at ?

1440p ideally. I haven’t build a PC from scratch before, only upgraded parts on a previous rig…

So does that mean you want a pre built or will you be building it ?

Does the £1000 include a monitor, etc ?

Pre built.

I already have a good monitor so £1000 on the PC please.

Cheers

Last question.

Can you install windows yourself as windows keys are cheap this can save you £100

Most pc from Overclockers at £1000 are targeted for 1080p

Yes I can install myself.

Happy with 1080p providing FPS is decent.

If you can stretch to £1100 then this would be a good choice with the options I've selected and would give you upgrade options.

Remember no windows

Thanks a lot! Appreciate this.

What’s the main difference between Intel & AMD?

Imo

AMD offer longevity to the platform such as the system I reccomended, its AM5 which is new so there's plenty of future CPU upgrade options when released .

Intel has strong performance also but tend to use more power at the higher end and there at the end of life for there latest platform. You will be able to upgrade to a better CPU but not a newer version.

Thanks!

Just noticed this build takes approx 2 weeks, are you aware of anything similar that is currently in stock?
