Prebuilt £2300 budget

[DarrenDob]

Hi everyone

Been out the loop for a long time. Looking at specs and different builds over the last few days and I'm just so confused

Looking for recommendation for a prebuilt intel/nvidia pc for gaming

Games will be fps like call of duty, warzone. Doom eternal, cs, fortnite.

It would be nice if that money would allow them to be played in maximum graphics settings

I dont really know what size monitor to get or ideal resolution to be playing fps games.

Budget for pc is £2300 and monitor £400

Is there optimum monitor sizes for fps games and what refresh rate do I need to look for?

Just want a fast primary drive around 1tb and dont need additional storage

Thank you for any help

IPS for better colour

personally, go all in for under £2400 built from OCUK with monitor . specially the way things are going, extra £4-500 in the bank and still a good spec for 1440p 100+hz gaming on high settings for a while
2TB M.2 drive to handle enough games through lockdown

Obviously you could add an aftermarket cooler and upgrade the case but this offers everything you asked for.

Edit: Didn't see the Intel requirement, honestly AMD are the better choice right now.​

@Raikiri
would personally push gigabyte for better rma.

also 4 yr warranty vs 3

That's about £150 Asus brand overpriced for (old and small) sRGB gamut TN.

Add about half dozen VAs into pile to take care of gaming in dark room...

No wonder Asus can afford such big legalized lying department.

The LG27GL83A-B is a good shout for an ips fps monitor with almost TN level response time and input lag.
