Spec me a 2kish build including monitor

[neilm86]

Hello,

I Would like to spend around £2k but would consider increasing by around £500 if the performance difference can be justified.

I'm looking for a PC almost purely for gaming.

I am also looking for an additional high quality monitor to go with my already owned 140Hz 24" gaming monitor.

All your assistance is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Neil

Thank you for your suggestions.

I have most of this in my basket (some with a nice discount from oc)

I have a couple of questions:

The motherboard and RAM - in the mb description is says "4x DDR4 (2666 MHz up to TBA MHz with overclocking)" does that mean i will need to o/c to get the full 3000Mhz from the RAM or should i chose a different motherboard?

Sorry I am really out of the loop with this stuff.

Cheers

You will just need to go into the bios and enable the xmp profile. The 3000MHz will be fine in that board. It is straightforward to do so don't worry

Sop no bios upgrade will be necessary?
