New To Gaming (Total War & FM)

Hi,

I'm new to gaming pcs and need some advice on suitable set-ups. I enjoy playing Total War games as well as Football Manager but haven't had graphics powerful enough to play these properly on my laptop before. I would say being able to play these games is the minimum necessary for me but I would like the possibility of upgrading the pc. I have never played some more advanced pc games so in the event that they interest me I would like to be able to modify the pc for their requirements.

Any advice someone may have would be greatly appreciated!

Firstly, sorry for the late response, I've just been at work.

I don't wish to spend over £1000 probably, but my budget under that is flexible. If you told me an £800 build would last twice as long as a £500 one etc then I'd be willing to spend more.

I have a gaming monitor (probably not the best but it is meant for gaming). Regards keyboards and the mouse I don't have gaming versions, just ordinary ones.

Thanks

Okay so apologies if this is the incorrect information but my monitor is 1920 x 1080. Says 144Hz on it as well.

Do you have any idea how long each of these builds would last me? Or how much they cost to upgrade every few years? Completely new to this and have barely got a clue!

Thanks once again.

So out of all the configurations you guys have provided me which would you say is the best value for money? (also do you think it is worth waiting for black friday?)
