Hi all,

Im new to PC gaming and have a current budget of £600 for just the PC alone. I have the monitor mouse keyboard etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as i dont want to jump in and buy the wrong one.

Thanks
Blair

You could save ~£10 on the PSU and get a 550W - but the extra 100W may come in handy when you upgrade. You may also want to add a conventional 1TB HDD for ~£35 later on for additional storage.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £608.19 (includes shipping: £12.30)

Thanks for getting back to me.

I dont know much but always heard about the graphics card being very important and been recommended Gtx etc, is this one any good as never heard of it?

Thanks

An example of 570 paired with 2600:




A lot.

I would suggest a V56 as similar/better performance

But if you were set on Nvidia:

Yea i see what you mean, its a big difference.

Its my first PC so the first one you sent would probably be best. I would be looking to play PUBG, Csgo etc.Do i need to order extra fans or cables? also i would like to add a hard drive probs 1TB and 120gb SSD?

Thanks

Dont waste your time with big non-ssd hard drives unless you really need the space.

Get a 2600 and a 570, or if budget allows a 2600 and a vega 56 along with the 500gb SSd.
Nowt else will come close to VFM.

^^^This


And this is the full build with added cheap and cheerful fan bundle and a 1TB conventional drive. And source a Windows 10 code for ~£10 - job done.

@tamzzy explains the fiscal risk well - or lack of. I have the kids machines running with cheap keys, still going strong after a few years. I bought Office Pro for peanuts for my Nephew before he went to Costa Rica a couple of years ago (monkey research) - again no issues to date.

I do however use legit keys for my work machines - but for gaming who cares?..


If you really want RGB and to keep the board in proportion you could consider the below. The motherboard is $10 more still quality VRM (important) and the case has unicorn lights and 4 fans so you could drop the additional fans from previous specs. But this is full a full ATX motherboard so case is larger.
