As the title says, my son needs this PC as quick as possible and is willing to go up to £1000 for the best gaming PC spec he can afford. Slightly over the budget is possible too but preferably at or below.
He wants at minimum a quad core or above cpu of either AMD or Intel. As long as it's decent, he doesn't care. I've no idea at all about motherboards so hoping for a good quality suggestion that overclocks nicely. Along with a cooler to keep the overclocked temps in check, plus TIM if it doesn't come with it.
The best graphics card possible for his games (mainly new games) to run at the highest settings. He uses a 24" 1080 monitor. He's not planning to go SLI or crossfire in the future either.
8-16GB of memory at fastest speed possible staying in budget.
An 120GB SSD and storage drive of 1TB or above. Hopefully higher.
Suitable wattage, quality brand PSU.
As for case, something around £50-60. If there's more budget available, a more expensive case up to budget.
He'll order the lot from here tomorrow if you tech guys can find a spec for the above. I had to keep lowering the graphics cards to get the SSD and visa versa, swapping CPU etc. Nightmare. I'll leave it to the pro's.
Could you please help me? I'm out of my depth here. The last pc I built new was a Q6600.
I'm still comfortable building them though. There's hope yet.
