Gaming PC £2000 -£2200

Levanah · 31 Jul 2020 at 21:49

Hey Guys,

I don't know much about PCs but I'm looking to massively upgrade, my budget is around £2000 - £2200. I will need a monitor included in this too. I've only had a Nvidia and Intel PC but I am open to any ideas posted.

It'll be used for gaming with ideally 2 SSD's

Any help is appreciated

Pre built, Monitor resolution would be 1920 x 1080 and ideal size around 24 inch.

I mainly play World of Warcraft. I would need WiFi but currently wired to an extender and I've been told that if I have a separate SSD for wow in particular then it would load quicker and have other stuff on the other.

Ideal storage would be 2 TB to 3TB

Current:
Processor - i5-4670K 3.60ghz
RAM - 16GB 1060 MHz DDR3
Graphics - GTX 770
Storage 1 - 120GB Kingston SSD
Storage 2 - WD500 GB hard drive
Motherboard - MSI Z97-G43

I also have a thing for LED lights on case

I would play more games when I get a new PC not just WoW if that is the case I'd go 1440p then, this is why I'm asking for advice because I have no knowledge on this.

I may also need 2 monitors as my other one is actually a TV.

Is there a possibility it could be 2 different builds just so I can see the difference on 1080 and 1440 please?

Haha I figured, I'm not used to trying to get an upgrade alone.

I think it would mainly be one to game on and one for general bits but I am considering on being able to play on both screens.

If I wanted more space than 1TB and you recommend only having 1 SSD. Would you recommend a bigger SSD or a HDD and an SSD?

Levanah · 1 Aug 2020 at 20:50

Any recommendations? I'd probably say SSD and how much would that take to me in total?

Levanah · 1 Aug 2020 at 21:07

So maximum really would be like £2144 if I used the 1TB and 2TB

Levanah · 1 Aug 2020 at 21:13

I don't think I'd trust myself to fit something later on

Levanah · 1 Aug 2020 at 21:27

If I already have Windows 10 on this PC, is there a way to find the key or will I have to get another as I think it got installed on here before purchase

Levanah · 1 Aug 2020 at 21:38

Fair enough sounds better that way, £100 can make a difference for sure if it is that simple.

I appreciate all your help

made it very easy to understand so thank you! I will ask them for a quote to build for overall cost but definitely super excited now, was worried before due to lack of knowledge

Levanah · 3 Aug 2020 at 14:49

Quoted - £2276.72

Levanah · 3 Aug 2020 at 14:52

Going for that build

Levanah · 3 Aug 2020 at 14:55

Don't worry I will especially after all your help it's the least I can do

Order sorted now the waiting game

Got an issue and need some replacements

Levanah · 16 Aug 2020 at 10:36

Basically the built Sparx put together, they can't get a hold of some components and need a replacement.

The 2TB SSD and the CPU cooler
