Hi, my gaming laptop has decided to finally kick the bucket after 7 years use. So it's time to build my first gaming pc I've decided.
I've done quite a bit of research and reading up and also looking at other people's builds to get an idea.
I know I'd like to be able to play CoD, Fallout, GTA, Witcher and Battlefield.
So here's what I came up with on a sub £1k budget.
What does the community think to this build? Any applauds or recommendations?
