New build for WoW + general gaming

[Leeroy Jenkins]

My brother is looking for a new PC for world of Warcraft and general gaming his budget is around £800-£1000

I have found this full build which looks like really good value for money

I selected the Sapphire Vega 56, 16gb Ram and 480gb SSD for a total of £800

I suggested to ring OCUK to change the PSU to a 500W gold Bequiet https://www.overclockers.co.uk/be-quiet-pure-power-11-500w-80-plus-gold-power-supply-ca-12x-bq.html

I know WOW is poorly optimised for gaming but he was pushing for Intel i5 9600k since he knows that has more power but the value of this build is almost too much to pass up on that I persuaded him for this

Any recommendations or tips would be appreciated if anyone has any input

good deal and new WOW expansion actually recommend i7 3rd Gen , believe more to do with pathways and networking so ryzen 2600 will do well!

the game bundle is damn well worth it and freesync screens can be had cheaply ! can pick up 1440p for £200 ! nice real-estate for WOW
