Hello, I want to get a gaming PC but I'm not very good at this stuff. I'd like something that can run games in 1080p with high FPS.

I would also like a NVIDIA GPU and 32GB RAM if that's possible.

My budget is £1,400

Any help would be appreciated! :)
 
Evening.

Could you please give this a read and fill it in? It'll help us to specify the best setup possible for your needs:

Why Nvidia ?

Also with ram at the prices £400 will be ram alone
 
If the budget was flexible, you could get the Mach 3.2.

You get a good CPU that a lot of games will like and a 5070 which is very powerful for 1080p.

If you just want "good enough" for 1080p, then a Ryzen 5600 and 5060 will do the job. Only 16GB of memory though, which is not ideal, given current high prices.

My basket at OcUK:

Total: £3,865.88 (includes delivery: £15.99)​

This build has a weaker CPU and GPU than the Mach 3.2, but it does have 32GB RAM and the 5060 Ti is the stronger 16GB version.

My basket at OcUK:

Total: £1,337.94 (includes delivery: £7.99)​

If I got the 16gb ram version would I be able to upgrade it in the future? Sorry for the dumb questions, I'm not the best at these type of things haha

The system RAM, yes. Though, RAM is currently very expensive and hard to source, so I'd honestly not recommend you buy a PC with 16GB of RAM.

A graphics card, like a 5060 8GB or 5060 Ti 8GB: no. Graphics memory is not user upgradeable, you're stuck with whatever it has. Unless you swap the graphics card out entirely, but buying a higher memory version of the same card would be terrible value as a future upgrade.

At a bare minimum and assuming you need peripherals, get the Mach 2 if you're concerned about upgrading in the future and want a prebuild, it's much faster out of the gate too, especially at high refresh rate 1080P as it's a resolution that skews more toward the CPU.

Slap these ontop:

Is the 5060 a good GPU? The last PC I had was back in 2021 and it had a 2070 Super which ran most things well

Ahh okay for sure. I appreciate it! :)

It is faster than a 2070 Super, but not by a lot. If that's where you're coming from, then I'd recommend you buy the Mach 3.2 as a 5070 is roughly twice as fast (referencing TPU's GPU database).
