New gaming set up

[csmith]

I thinking of buying a new set for gaming for my birthday ( you don't turn 50 every year !!) . I need a complete set up as my other computers are work laptops.

I want it to run elite and high res with no slow down, like I used to have on my c64.


Also I want a monitor that will allow me to plug in my xbox one.

I really don't want to send more than£1k

Hi,

Do you need an OS, keyboard+mouse etc.

How much is the budget?

Thanks are there any of the prebuilt systems worth thinking about?

If you cannot build yourself (i highly recommend it as you get better parts and all your moneys spent on the parts) then you can ask OcUK if they will build a spec for you for around £60.
