I made a thread last December needing a gaming desktop, by the time I purchase the computer it will be 10 months since that post. Would any improvements/cheaper possibilities be available that has changed in these 10 months? Thanks.
The helpful person who gave me a good idea of a rig suggested this:
My ideal spend would be around £700, but I am looking to spend between £500 and £1,000, hopefully nearer the former then the latter. I also would like to know if there are any companies that build computers cheaply? Or would I be better off finding a local computer company to do it, as I have no chance in building it haha, thanks.
