I'm going to build a pc for the first time so please can someone advise me on whether it will be worth it and whether it would work? I'm really interested in this kind of stuff so I want to be able to upgrade later on.
What it's going to be used for: Gaming on High settings, Homework, Surfing the Web
Games: Civilization V on High, Minecraft on High w/ mods, SimCity, Battlefield 4, Skyrim, e.t.c
Budget: Around £800
Monitor: I may buy a new monitor for this as my old monitor is a vga one. Probably a 1920 by 1080 one or I may buy a vga input to hdmi output cable - advice on this as well please.
Keyboard and Mouse: I may buy a new keyboard because my old one isn't very good but I have a good mouse.
Preferred Stores: Microdirect, Amazon or Uk websites and stores.
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Overclocking: Maybe
Why I'm Upgrading: My old computer, which was a laptop, wasn't very good at running any games at all.
