I'm not a hard-core gamer but I am wanting to build a PC that will last a while so it doesn't need replacing often and also something that can handle some high performances. I have a budget of around a grand but the cheaper the better really! I game everyday but only on my crappy laptop that runs minecraft on the lowest of the low and lags so I mainly play xbox but I am deeply wanting to start PC gaming, could you guys help me out please? These are some specs of a £1000 desktop I might go for round about, would you guys say it is good?
