Yh I Need some direction Ill try explain a little better what Im looking for.

Its a computer that I want to spend £1245-£1345 Nothing under £1245 nothing over £1345 (give or take £10 each way). I want the pc to be balanced meaning no insane gpu taking money of the cpu. I want the pc to be a good overall reliable pc that can run most games at 60 fps 1920x1080 On high settings (Single monitor). I dont plan on overclocking. Will be my fist build so nothing insane or complicated. Case has to be all about airflow even if it comprimises looks

Okay...what do you need (os, keyboard, monitor)? You should do a quick build in pcpartpicker so that people can more accurately understand your needs.

Wait, why can't you spend less than 1245 GBP? You could probably get something that fits your needs for less than that amount.

Because I saved up £1245 and I dont want to save my saving if that makes sense i saved that money for this particular thing so I would like to use the full saving for it.

This is what I kinda geussed but im a noob so go easy on it


That is actually a pretty good build. One thing I would suggest you should think about is getting a psu about 100w higher just in case you ever want to put an extra 970 in there. Either way, it looks good. And you probably dont need that much ram. If you are only doing gaming, you only need 8. If you are doing something else maybe you need more. Also, what is the rationale behind having two ssds?

This, lol... Blowing your savings on a computer isn't the brightest idea.
