Help creating my first gaming PC.. (Budget £600)

[DamonGodden]

Hi,

New here and looking for help/ more understanding of what i'll need.

Currently i have an

Monitor - Alienware AW2518HF 24.5 Inch TN Gaming Monitor (1 ms Response Time, Full HD 1920 x 1080 at 240 Hz, AMD Free-Sync, DP/HDMI, USB)

Keyboard - Dell Alienware AW768

Mouse - Dell Alienware AW958

I'm looking to now purchase the actual PC now, the budget is around £600 for the unit itself, i'm hoping for something as high spec as that price will allow.

I don't really have a great understanding of whats the best for that price range so a helping hand and suggestions would be great.

Id prefer to not have to create my own, but if i do can links be added into the replies with the build created.

Many thanks.

Before we help you, why does it have to be that monitor/keyboard/combo? With £600 budget you'd be hard pressed to build a computer that can push that monitor. I'd advise dropping down slightly so you can spend more on the PC

All three alienware bits of tech above were gifts, i already own them. £600 is around the price i plan to spend on the unit itself; excluding all of them.
