That's including the monitor. I refined the parts list so the monitor fits with the budget too!

is the ram really worth £90 and a r7 260x for £130? I don't need the best monitor just a cheap one that will do the job.

Yup unfortunately, RAM has rocketed in price recently not sure what's causing it but yeah.
That is one of the cheapest monitors that is good for gaming, it's quite a good bang for the buck really.

Because the monitor is part of the budget, there are more limitations as to what can and can't be chosen.

I found RAM for £60 also i don't need the monitor to have the best response time and the GPU is overpriced
