New PC

[Abacus614]

Good Morning All

Im new on here and this is my first post. Having used a Mac for the past 12 years I'm in need of an update. Prior to using the Mac I used a PC and was big into online gaming. The Mac kinda put a stop to that.....

Anyway I'm now in the market for a new PC. Since I've been out of the loop for a while on specs I'm looking for some advice. I'll probably opt for a built machine rather than build my own to take the hassle out.

Options and opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I'd be happy to spend up to £2k But that needs to include a monitor 27" and ancillaries.

Thanks Micky.

Any more suggestions?

Would you say that the general consensus currently, is that it's cheaper to build yourself, opposed to build to order?

Going to throw in an option if you do decide to build yourself.
