Spec me... brand new build

[iStone]

Hey guys,

Used to be on point with building machines but lost my touch now.

Looking for a brand new build (pre built preferable) on a budget of £700.

Want to use it for mid to high end gaming and music production. Would prefer to have a Ryzen 5 cpu.

Already have a Samsung Pro Evo 250GB M.2 for operating system so 1TB+ storage would be needed also.

Looking to buy my PC in a couple days so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

With that budget you are not going to get high end gaming, i've listed minimum but you need a case still. Also new ryzen CPUs should be coming out soon and possibly new Nvidia GPUS in the next 6 months so you could wait until then. I would say this is mid range.

Also I know you said prebuilt, you can get OCUK to build this for you. I couldnt find a good deal on the prebuilt ones here for ryzen 5s

I think your budget is a big low for high end gaming - the cards cost more than your budget. Blame the miners buying all the cards.
Do you need a monitor?

 

[mrbazmondo]

You're going to need a case to go with that too.
