New PC Gamer

Balazak · 14 Feb 2017 at 17:48

Previously only played PC games on an old Alienware laptop handed down from my brother which although being designed for PC gaming wasn't really up to scratch. Having watched a lot of Twitch streamers playing games such as H1Z1 and Wow etc it has given me the bug to get into proper PC gaming as well as streaming, recording and editing gameplay. Could somebody please give some advice on a rig to handle such capabilities with a budget around £1500 maybe a little more. Keep in mind I have little knowledge of PC building at the moment, thank you.

Will you need a copy of Windows and a display? Any peripherals needed, mouse or keyboard etc?

Would need everything apart from mouse, keyboard and monitors

Suggest waiting until end-Feb/3rd March as AMD's new Ryzen processors are expected to be released. They'll have upto 8 cores so ideal for your multi gaming/streaming/editing usage.

hi and welcome. for £1500-1800 you can get a decent setup. My advice is wait a few weeks because AMD are about to release some decent CPU's. Also, in March is the release (hopefully) of the GTX 1080Ti. Your going to need: CPU, CPU cooler, GPU, RAM, MOBO, PSU, CASE, OS, HDD.
