iHola amigos! Hope you all had a good Christmas.

I'm looking to upgrade my 9 year old, pre-built by PC world, computer. I'm talking GeForce GT 610, stock fans.. i5-2300 and 6GB Ram. 60FPS on medium settings FarmVille, you know how I roll.

What I'm saying is.. An iPhone 3 is probably more optimized for gaming.. please help me make gaming great again!

Budget is £1800 as I want to compare it to the Alienware Aurora R6 and the Velocity Colossus Extreme. Both come with a GTX 1080ti, i7 8700k and beyond that I don't understand the jargon.

Convince me there's better value than these! Cheers bros.

I don't have a 4K monitor but I will invest after I finish with my car. Currently I have a BenQ GL2450 1080p 24" and a smaller LG one which I will replace with the 4k. If it's possible to use a 4k and 1080 simultaneously?

I want it to be a VR ready gaming machine. I don't edit photos or any of that, just want to run Rust, PUBG, Battlefield, League etc on max settings and at a good frame rate.
 
Hello thank you! Yes sorry I should have thought about that. Edited it now.

I am competent to build one but not picking the components to be honest. It seems to work out at a similar price without a garuntee. Is there a system comparable system to the ones I mentioned on Overclockers? Or a parts list which dwarfs the performance pre-built machines offer that you can recommend? Por favour :D
 
Thank you for the list, I had no idea the quality of power supply mattered. I assumed it'd be a case of compatible or non-compatible.
The case is negligible to me, as long as it all fits and doesn't break we're good.

A 1tb ssd? Is it just used for loading times? Feels super overkill but what do I know. Thanks guys I'll probably order these parts today :D
