I am looking to buy a new gaming pc and I don't know much about the parts and how they work. I've heard that pc gaming is much better than consoles and I wanted to become a pc gamer. What parts could I buy to build my gaming pc within the budget of £600?
 
Do you need OS, Monitor, Keyboard...? I assume that you have nothing, since you are saying that you want to come from console on PC.

This build would be the best for you budget. but if you have monitor , OS , keyboard ... just tell and i will change the build.

Solution

A 720p monitor definitely won't take much to run games at Ultra settings.
