Hello all!

In short my current system is starting to show signs of age (2-3+ years), especially with new and upcoming games. I'm looking for some help and advice on building a new system with the primary use of gaming in mind, but also with a respectable ability for medium-high graphical production and rendering.

Requirements:
- System only (I already have the peripherals I require)
- Fit a budget of £1000 (with an extra £100 spread if required)
- Decent future proofing (upgrades are intended over the time)
- SSD and HDD (SDD as a boot drive, and HDD as primary storage 1TB+ preferred)


Additional details:
- I have no preferences for brand, so long as they have a decent reputation for quality.


Any recommendations for systems you have please leave a reply for, each will be credited and read thoroughly. Thanks in advance!
-L :)
