Hi guys first post here,I have always been a console player and still have the Xbox and ps4 but I always looked into a gaming rig but never had the funds and the talking between you guys sound foreign to me,but now I have a little bit of money and I would like a gaming PC that will also do the basic stuff like streaming and browsing etc
Would love not to worry about playing games on max settings now and in the future and be upgradable and last a few years before I have to spend anything on it,
I have around £1600 but I haven't got anything like a mouse and keyboard but surely I could buy them cheaply,
I would need a monitor as I only have a 50 inch plasma tv so that's a no go,I would probably intend to buy the monitor at very catalogue as I can use the 12 month interest free option so if I get any change from the rig that could go to the monitor
So could you guys spec me a beast of a gaming rig with a bonus of leftover pennies lol
 
Hi guys thank you for your replies,
Regarding building it myself it sounds really daunting and I would be scared If I mess up etc,price wise it would save me some money and I would like to do it,
Regarding graphic cards I could wait a week or 2 max if that helps ?
Would it be possible to buy all the parts and buy the graphics card last ?
Or would it be sensible and cheaper to buy all of it together
 
Wouldn't I need a 1440p monitor ? I no the price will keep rising as I would also need a Windows version as well,
Appreciate any help the more the better regarding speccing me a rig,
If you were in my situation would you buy a rig now or wait a week to see what happens about graphic cards
How hard is it to build your own ? Remember noobie here console gamer (lol)
 
Thank you so much all these specs are all foreign language to me lol,
So the only decision is the graphics card ?
1080 should be a lot more better than the 980ti for around £630 ?
1070 slightly better than the 980ti ?
But both will be the newer cards so would needn't need to upgrade anything for a couple of years ?
 
So is danny75 specs better than yours exomale ?
So I should stay away from buying a 980ti if I'm gonna buy a gaming rig now ?
So I will be looking at + £630 for a 1080 on top of £1350.78
That's over budget lol,but that does include a monitor which I was gonna get from very catalogue
But theirs still uncertainly over what the new card can do and maybe if it's a noisy one (if that's what you gamers call it)

Thanks danny75
So the smart idea here is for me to wait acouple of weeks and buy everything then ?
Case wise: I have been told to get a atx for more room for upgradable options in the future plus I'm not bothered how big it is (should save some pennies)

Not being joey Essex but where's the part where you put discs into ? (Noobie here)

No bud I haven't got any thing on disc game wise plus I forgot I have a external disc drive lying about for stuff that needs a installation disc so no I wouldn't need one,
Didn't no PC games were mostly digital only heard of steam lol
I would probably need a atx case as it will be more future proof for me so I'm not to bothered regarding how big it is,
I have heard the 1080 partners probably wouldn't be out for another 6 to 8 weeks so if I bought now it would have to be a 980ti wouldn't it ?
If anyone of you kind guys spec me a gaming rig with a atx case and probably a 980ti I would be very grateful
Would ideally like it under budget as I would have to buy a monitor on interest free 12 month option from very catalogue
