    Hi again, I change my mind about pre-build so I'll building a new computer.

    just got the case Phanteks Enthoo Pro https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/pha...ase-phes614pbk

    -------------------
    Budget: £1020 max or less would be great.
    Resolution: 1080p, high/max settings with good fps like 30fps<.
    Games / Settings Desired: Warlords of Draenor, Borderlands The Pre Sequel, Skyrim and some future games like GTA V.
    Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc): No, only main for gaming
    Country: UK
    Parts that can be reused: No
    Do you need an OS? Yes, win 8.1
    Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)?: Yes, 23" Monitor
    -------------------


    would appreciate any help.

    This is right at the max of your budget, and I think some could be shaved off the top, but it will perform admirably with what you have listed.

    I kept to a theme with the black/red, and that can be changed to get the build a bit cheaper. There also might be a different monitor that would be cheaper.

    I am sure others will come in and give their opinions soon enough.
