I'm building my first ever PC. I had a PS4 and sold it due to the lack of games,how expensive they were and paying for online use. I really want a PC for the opposite of the above reasons. If someone could recommend a decent rig that would be great. I have approximately £475 or €600. I'll be buying all my parts from Amazon.co.uk as I have Amazon Prime which will give me free 1 day delivery. I see a lot of people recommending builds that have upgrade options but I want good parts now and upgrade in the future. I want my PC to last me about 2 years playing all the modern games on at least medium 60fps. Include a mouse and keyboard and a wifi card. I'll be ordering it on the 26th of December after I get all my Christmas money.
