Hi guys I wanted a build a gaming pc and wonder if you could help me out...
My budget is around £1000 but can go over £100 to £200 if needed...
Is it worth getting 16gb memory jnstead of 8gb?

I already have a windows 10 so no need to include that in the build...

Peripheral wise I just need a monitor don't worry about including a keyboard or a mouse...

Thanks in advance :)...

MerrJ0210 is asking the right question because the choice of components depends on usage. I put together an initial build but the best choice might not be this based upon what you want to do.

By the way, if you want a fantastic cooler at insanely low price, run, don't walk and get that Dark Rock Pro 3, it has to be a typo.

Just a note: If you mean you have Windows 10 on a current OEM PC (Dell, HP, etc.) you can NOT move it to the new rig. The OEM licensing (installed in Windows itself) prevents it from moving to a different maker / model PC, and you would need to buy a "off the shelf" copy of Windows (www.pcpartpicker.com good place to price it). Additionally, you can't move across major changes like that as it freaks out the OS and never 'fixes', so it always proper to do a CLEAN install from scratch.

Gaming wise around 1080p im guessing and hoping to play at high res...

I don't really do any rendering work but wanted to ask ifgetting a 16gb for gaming is worth it...

Currently playing gw2 and hope to play high end games I guess :)

I just looked at the cooler and is it that cheap? £15? for real?


Edit.
Right my brother just sent me this Eto meron ako nakita thread
