Gaming PC to run Total War Warhammer

[JacobK]

Hello everyone!

I am looking at buying a gaming PC that will be good enough to run Total War Warhammer 1 and 2.

I am sort of stuck between getting a prebuilt one or buying the parts and building it myself with the help of a more experienced friend. Some of the builds on Overclockers look like they would do the job, but I am unsure if they will be upgradeable in the future due to my limited experience, as I would like one that can be upgraded if need be. I will link a couple of the ones that I am considering below.

My budget is £600 to £800 (not including peripherals).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

JK

Thanks very much for your help. I'll take a closer look at both setups.

One question, how easy would it be to upgrade the pre-built one that you recommended in the future?

For example I understand that SSD's can often be a better choice than HDD's? Would it be possible to upgrade this?

Thanks again!
