So, I'm after some help, I'm a big gamer and spend the vast majority of my free time on my PC. Its time for an upgrade but know very little when it comes to hardware and compatibility.

I have a £1000 budget (don't have to use it all) to build a new PC with. It will be used for watching movies and gaming (World of Warcraft and League of legends mainly, would like to run these at ultra if possible).

Could any kind person(s) please assist in pointing me in the right direction in terms of build, aswell as a good website for building it also.

Many thanks in advance.

The Windows 10 OS is better, but you will be eligible for a free upgrade, so no sense in buying it more expensive. With a a skylake i5/GTX 1070 you will be able to max out anything on dual 1080p for a good while also. 500gb SSD for OS and some games, 1 tb hdd for other storage.
