    Gaming build UK

    Hello! So, I'm going to study in the UK for 2 years from september. And I want to go back to a desktop after using a laptop for the past year. I'm from Norway, and have no clue on where I should look and get parts for a custom build in the uk, I'm also quite outdated on parts, so any help is appreciated!

    Around 1100 Gbp, cheaper is better.
    1920x1080 resolution is enough for me.
    I would like to be able to record/play games on the highest settings.
    I'm studying 3D modelling, so I want atleast 16gb of ram.
    United Kingdom
    No parts, except headset and mouse.
    Do not need OS
    I need a monitor, 24 inch or bigger.

    If I have forgotten anything, feel free to ask, and thank you for all the help!

    Amazon, Scan, Ebuyer and PCPartpicker are usually pretty good. I'll let someone else figure out what's best though.

    I think you might be better off pushing for an R9-290, but Kos' build is good quality, and I'm having a nightmare fitting it in the budget with your spec request, so go with Kostattoo.
