Hey Folks..

Prefer to get a pre-built and am totally befuddled by the range :(

Anyone suggest a base unit only for gaming only...£1000 but can flex upwards slightly. 1080+ modern titles.

Any suggestions?

if I can build much better for that price I'm happy to give that a go...best bang for buck and all that.

Oh will need O/S too

Cheers

-£54 if you claim the 20% MSI cashback (expires 2nd December) on the RX 480 8GB = £1,004. Also brings two games you can keep or sell.

The build fee would probably take it back up again to around £1,050.

This is pretty similar to Danny's spec but with us building it for you.
 
Thanks both. Not sure on the Kingston SSD, would rather go for the Samsung Evo but I see they are on order.

Just out of interest if there was a couple of hundred more pounds what would you suggest, the same but perhaps with a better graphics card or a different build?

This is the sort of cost you'd be looking at if you wanted the 850 EVO with a 1070.
