Hi there !

I have just recently got right into pc gaming but sadly my laptop is getting on and doesnt really play alot of the games out there can just about play skyrim !

ive done some research and roughly know what i need and need to do to get started on my first build !

Im looking to build a great gaming pc but affordable. ive got a monitor keyboard and mouse already and will be getting the parts to build the actual unit itself for xmas ( miles away :(  ) i was just wanting some help and thoughts on a good build that will last a good while be able to play games at HIGH or Even ULTRA graphics smoothly be able to play latest games including GTAV SKYRIM and all that modded out

Could someone help me out with a build ?

For the full Unit my budget is around (£600)

the build can also have parts that arnt out yet etc due to my waiting time or relativly new parts that will have a slight price drop nearer the time of the build ?

anyhelp or know how will be appreciated greatly and hopefully what ive wrote along with my budget isnt a joke lol

You will be better off asking advice closer to the time when you will actually build the system. Component prices are constantly changing and new hardware is released regularly. This is what I would recommend right now, but it will likely change by December.

If you aren't getting parts until Christmas I would wait as prices for a build could easily get cheaper.
