Hey there, really hope you can help me as I feel like this whole Gaming PC is really intimidating and i feel way over my head.

I am currently looking to buy my first ever gaming PC and have a budget of £1800. I am looking to get something which I dont have to do anything to (like overclocking or messing with stuff) as I have the fear and cant put the hours in.

The games I am looking to play with this PC would be things like the Total War series, Bethesda titles etc. Basically looking to have it running on max settings without having to worry about it blowing up (my current setup currently can fry an egg when i play on my laptop).

The post is really because I come onto this site and I am really having trouble understanding whats "good" or what i should be getting for my money. I went onto a different website called "**No Competitors please**" but everyone said I should come here instead. Any thoughts on that?

Finally on that **No Competitors please** the rig i currently have in the basket ready to buy is:

PROCESSOR: Intel Core i7-6700K Skylake CPU, 4 Cores, 4.0 - 4.2GHz
GRAPHICS: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Graphics Card
COOLER: Corsair Hydro H75 CPU Cooler
PASTE: Prolimatech PK-3 Nano Particle Thermal Paste
CASE COOLING: Cooler Master Sickleflow Green Fan Upgrade Pack
MOTHERBOARD: Asus Z170 PRO GAMING Motherboard
MEMORY: 32GB DDR4 3000MHz Memory (4 x 8GB Sticks)
OS DRIVE: 250GB Samsung 850 EVO Solid State Drive
SECONDARY HARD DRIVE: Seagate 2TB 7200RPM Hard Disk
POWER SUPPLY: Corsair RM650X 80 PLUS Gold 650W Modular PSU

They overclock the computer 20% or something i dont really know what that means but i thought that was cool.

Thats pretty much it. Like I said, I really just dont wanna get ripped of or get a bum rig that isnt compatible with eachother. Hoping to get a seamless gaming experience for this money (Which has been many months of saving)


Thanks guys and hope you can help!

Thanks for the great replies guys, would love some follow up.

Stelly: Was really curious about that SSD thing, would i get that thing instead of the
OS DRIVE: 250GB Samsung 850 EVO Solid State Drive

Benjamham: I would be overclocking 20%, the reason for a big case i think is im a big girls blouse and am terrified of my computer catching on fire XD and atleast everything will have plenty room
 
Freddie1980: Does the 250 ssd thing is a samsung white one, and there is a red one like a pro series. I was wondering if 250 is enough? also if you know about the m.2, if its needed.

Cheers
 
Hey guys thanks for the replies and I am now too scared to get a pre overclocked computer but thats okay because I decided to use Overclockers instead of the other site :)

This is what I have chosen

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk...YXqPe?#;AreV(8BaaW77BEKX(,EFK15$5EFL15$~EGL15:.

I have a few questions maybe you can help with?

1. First of all the little boxes beside the items, green, orange and red. What do they mean?

2. When i was first looking at the motherboards i was really intimidated by it. I have no clue about this stuff and was recommended to get the MSI one along with the MSI graphics card. Is this okay in this build?

3. I phoned the guy at overclockers and was asking if i could get 32 ram instead of the 16 (As 16 is the highest you can go) I was just wondering why this isnt an option and what make of RAM i should add?

4. lastly, is my build ok? Like is it all compatible with eachother etc? I have no idea and im really worried because this is a lot of money for me (now 2k) and i cant really afford to learn from any mistakes here :P
