Ive never build a gaming Pc before so my knowledge on the matter is limited, this is my first build and i will have a friend helping me. What i want to make sure is that I can get the best possible Pc for £1000 or less, any suggestions are much apperciated. Thank you.

Edit: Im currently studying computer games programming at university, so i would also lime it to be able to run programs like unreal engine etc..

You're looking at a GTX 1070 minimum with a 1k budget.
Note that both of these go about 20 pound over, but it is well worth it, as you can either get OCing capabilities or an SSD for your OS with that little bit more.

If you're up for a bit of OCing, this is the best value for money.

Sorry I should have been more specific. The build is just the PC itself, no peripherals (un less sound card counts as one?) and no need for windows either.

downside (if that's any) these use the non overclockable i5 7500 and the gtx 1060.Second one is under budget,has another motherboard with less led,but lower speed ram with led.

abit over budget.

i could probably use a psu that's abit cheaper,but this is a good one for the price.

The onboard audio is imo good enough,try things with that one first.

Look at these options,pick what you like.The last will have the best performance because of the gpu,but the gpu is also what you will upgrade the first in the future.
