I've been looking for computer parts for a couple days and have compiled a list of parts that i think will suit my needs. The computer I'm aiming to build should be able to play games at mid-high settings, if not the highest settings. However, my priority is that it can at least play any game, as I'm not too fussed when it comes to graphics. I will also want to use this PC for running digital audio workstation software.
My budget it no more than £650, but i would like it to as cheap as i can get it; maybe push the price down to around £500. Also I'd like to have a SSD and a HHD configuration, with the SSD holding the OS and Reaper (music software) and the HDD holding my files, games and other programs.
So any advice and alterations would be greatly appreciated.
