[kibo1504]

Hi guys, just wondering if anybody can point me in the direction of a Computer that will provide the best bang for my buck.

At the minute I'm looking at:

Budget: £1000
Resolution: 1080p
Games / Settings Desired: Overwatch, HOTS, Diablo, World of Warcraft, Guild wars 2, Battlefield 1 amongst others but those are the main ones.
Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc): N/A
Country: England - UK
Shop: Ebuyer / Amazon.co.uk
Parts that can be reused: Its a 6 year old PC at the minute so im looking at a complete new build I think.
Do you need an OS? No
Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)? Mouse and Keyboard

Thanks

This went a little over 1k but i tried not to hold back much. Ie i got a mechanical keyboard in there. You don't have to buy one, you can just buy a cheap one but i thought you would appreciate it. Ram you could go by 8gb but i got 16in there. You don't need more than 8gb for just gaming, but you might do need it if you run many apps at once. Also the RX 480 is a placeholder till aftermarket cooling solutions are out. I picked the median available price of the reference ones. It could have as well been 220 pounds but my choice tried to be more realistic for the aftermarket ones.

edit: the Cpu i5 6600k is at 210pounds at Amazon but pcpartpicker isn't picking it up. So another 12 quid saved there.

Why not drop the mechicanal keyboard combine the cost with the cost of the SSD and 1TB drive. And just get a large SSD drive?

Cause you still need to buy a keyboard and if he later on needs a larger ssd he can get it, later. The keyboard though he can keep for 10years.

Not this keyboard though.

Thanks for the input guys, ye I think I'm quite happy with the smaller SSD and larger general storage for the time being, I can add the larger SSD later on,

Thanks for taking the time to put that together Kostattoo, two things tho, that keyboard looks really quite small, I don't know if you have experience with them both but I'm currently using a Razor Lycosa is the size difference considerable? I quite like the larger keyboard.

In terms of aftermarket graphics cards, is there a specific one I should be looking at?

Also the RX 480 is a placeholder till aftermarket cooling solutions are out. I picked the median available price of the reference ones. It could have as well been 220 pounds but my choice tried to be more realistic for the aftermarket ones.

Keyboard size its a few cm smaller cause it doesn't have separate arrow keys and numpad. About the gpu i don't know yet cause they aren't out, will have to see what cooling solution each brand goes with but if you pick one of the reputable ones you will be ok. There is also gtx1060 coming out.
