Sounds like you'd be better off with an Xbox/PS. Pc's inevitably need looking after and updating.

Hi welcome

Building your own pc would save you a bit of money over a pre-built. If you don't feel comfortable though you can ask ocuk to build one from a list of parts.

The spec below is a rough idea for your budget. There is some money left over for Windows and also the build fee.


My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Fractal Design Focus G Window Midi-Tower Case - Black= £49.99
• 1 x MSI GeForce GTX 1070Ti Gaming 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £409.99
• 1 x Antec EarthWatts Gold Pro 550W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £73.99
• 1 x Toshiba 2TB P300 7200RPM Performance Hard Drive (HDWD120UZSVA)= £49.99
• 1 x AMD Bundle - AMD Ryzen 5 2600, Gigabyte X370-Gaming 3, Team Group RAM *FREE 240GB SSD* *ONLINE ONLY* = £437.96
  • Memory Capacity:Team Group Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey (TLGD416G30

Hey,

What are you looking to play on PC and does the £1200 budget need to include a monitor and peripherals?

There is no reason you wouldn’t be able to try and build your own, for the most part “modern” PC’s are very much just plug-and-play although if you are not comfortable in tackling the potential issues that can arise while building then you might be better served with a pre-built system.
