PC build recommendation

[AwkwardSausage]

Hi guys,

Looking to get a gaming PC now before the costs become insane, but I'm clueless, and I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction.

Please let us know what your intentions are:
(1) You are building your own PC, or will have someone doing this for you – Yes, open to this
(2) You want OCUK to build your custom PC – Yes, open to this
(3) You want an off-the-shelf PC – Yes, open to this

I’m not fussed whether it’s a custom OCUK build or a prebuilt. I’ll go with whichever gives the best performance for the money.

Purchase Timeframe – ASAP. Ideally within the next few weeks, and within two months at the latest. I’m happy to pick up a Black Friday / Christmas deal if there’s a good one.
Budget – £1,200–£1,500 for the PC itself. Peripherals and monitor on top (see below).
Usage – Mainly gaming at 1440p, including:

• Red Dead Redemption 2
• The Witcher
• Halo: The Master Chief Collection
• God of War
• GTA 6

I also want to play newer AAA releases at high settings and high frame rates at 1440p. Apart from gaming, it’s just email and office work (Microsoft Office, browsing)

Preferences – No strong brand loyalty, AMD or Intel / Nvidia or AMD GPU, whichever gives the best value. I would also like room to upgrade later.
Current Hardware – None, this is a completely new setup.
Peripherals – Just a monitor, will use an Xbox controller for gaming.

• 1440p gaming monitor

Special Needs/Requirements (inc Wi-Fi) – Must have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built in.
Recommendations or bundle deals welcome.
Please let me know if you need any more information to help with the recommendations, and thank you in advance!
