Spec Me a PC @ £1000

[agrestik]

Hello all,

I am looking for some help building a system mainly for light gaming and university work.

I would like to spend roughly around £1000 including monitor . No need for keyboard/mouse.

Thanks.

You seem to have gone slightly over budget

 

[RJC]

Will you be looking at adding another GPU in he future for crossfire?
