Gaming pc build or ready made

[GratefulAnt]

Hi been putting it off for so long but I've decided to jump in to the world of PC GAMING rather than get the next generation gaming concoles. problem is I haven't a clue about PCs I've been looking at the ready builds on Chillblast and Overclockers but Im not sure if there any good and always here people say it best to build your own. Budget is around £1000 me and my son play all games from RPG open world to online shooters. so any advice, and help will be very appreciated. Anthony

Do you need everything, or do you already have a mouse/keyboard/monitor you can use?

If you have an HDTV you could consider using that as a temporary solution so that you can fit more into the rig itself.

If you don't need a monitor:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Eight Core 4.4GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £289.99
• 1 x MSI B450M Mortar MAX (Socket AM4) DDR4 mATX Motherboard= £92.99
• 1 x Patriot Viper Steel 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C17 3600MHz Dual Channel Kit (PVS416G360C7K)= £68.99
• 1 x Super Flower Leadex III 550W 80 PLUS Gold Modular Power Supply - Black= £59.99
• 1 x MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT MECH OC 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £349.99
• 1 x Gigabyte 1TB M.2 PCIe x4 NVMe SSD/Solid State Drive= £95.99
• 1 x Kolink Inspire Series K3 RGB Micro-ATX Case - Black Window= £21.95
• 1 x Cooler Master Devastator III Combo Gaming Bundle 7 Colour LED Backlighting - UK Layout= £34.99

​

You can find a Windows 10 key for a couple of quid if you look around, a certain electronic auction site has them. If you need a monitor you could drop down to a 3600 and make one or two other changes. This build would be with the view of getting something along the lines of a 1440P monitor down the line.

There's a tenner left in the budget for a Windows key.

The monitor is great value for money. Use the provided Display Port cable (not HDMI) to enable Gsync with an Nvidia card.

For gaming id just stick with the Ryzen 3600... Enough performance and power for your needs if gaming at 1080p and for under £200 is a great deal
