Hi folks,
I've been researching a lot over the last few days on how to build my first ever gaming PC. I've created a list of my parts thus far on PC Part Picker, which can be found here.
After reading through several discussions on this forum, it's obvious most of the users of this site are extremely well informed and know a lot more about this stuff than me. Therefore, I'd love to throw myself at your mercy and ask for some help!
I'm hoping to ask about two things:
1. Advice on the overall build thus far; and more importantly
2. Advice on any cost cutting that could take place. Ideally I'd love to be around the £1000 mark, although I can certainly stretch that to £1200 if I absolutely need to.
I should note that the build doesn't include any software, but that's intentional (all taken care of already). It also doesn't include any speakers/sound cards, as I'm happy using the motherboard sound for the moment.
Edit 1
To give a little bit more context to the build - I'm aiming to use it primarily for gaming. I will do the odd bit of browsing etc on it, but absolutely no heavy photo/video editing. I would ideally like to stick with a 120Hz monitor, but if it has to go, it has to go.
With regards to cooling/heat sink info etc, I'm fairly clueless (will be building this with a much more knowledgeable friend) so feel free to suggest/criticise/laugh at anything I currently have listed/am missing!
