New to computers and need help building one

finbar tymon · Nov 6, 2016

Hello im Finn, i want to build a pc which can run skyrim special edition and other high end games on super high settings and also manage uni work. Im new to computers so not much knowledge. i have £800 to spend but if it can be cheaper then obviously better. i want an intel based system, can anyone sort me out?

If you get 62 pounds more I suggest a crucial ssd.

If you also need a Monitor and dont plan on overclocking your processor, a FreeSync PC is a very good idea.
