Returning to gaming - New PC needed

[Joxeon]

Thanks again all, will be ordering the £1k spec above, didn't realise SSD's can be fitted to PCI slots now.

One last thing, I won't be able to route an ethernet cable from my router to my PC, I presume the above mobo doesn't have a wireless adapter, what's the method/best bang for buck wireless network adapter these days? If it matters I currently have 72mb FTTP.

Thanks again for your help.

If you need wifi then just switch out the motherboard for the pro carbon as it has built in wifi and good specs.

If going with something like my mATX spec suggested, just change the mobo to this one for £30 extra. Comes with the latest AX WiFi adapter onboard then.

As a heads up, Danish price. Little faster CPU wise at 1080p. GPU little stronger again but AMD so Freesync will work correctly. Nvidia card on Freesync monitor that isn't G-sync compatible not the best .
