Hi all,
I am looking to try and build my first gaming pc. I know the barest minimum about pc components and what is compatible with what. Also I don't know whether I would be needing to purchase any wiring etc in addition to the component parts lists I have seen on this website, so if you could let me know if I do that would be great. Any help would be very much appreciated! Specs etc below, thanks in advance for your time!
Approximate Purchase Date: this week (Black Friday!)
Budget Range: Max £600 (UK) after Shipping, already have processor and graphics card, see below.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, some CAD, image and parallel processing (currently 6 core)
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: I now have an i5 8400 processor and MSI gaming 1070ti grpahics card.
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Any that deliver in the UK
Location: Scotland, central belt
Parts Preferences: None
Overclocking: I wouldn't know how to do this and would be afraid of breaking something!
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 but would like a system that could go higher in the future
Additional Comments: On the gamin side I mainly play World of Warcraft. Up until now I have been on mid-low range laptops with settings all at low. My main reason for switching to a pc is for the possibility to upgrade parts as and when I need instead of having to buy a new laptop each time. Ideally I would like to buy something that would see me through the rest of this WoW expansion and the next one (which is being released 2nd half of next year) without the need to upgrade anything. I would prefer a pretty plain case and low noise since it will be living room based but not if it breaks the budget.
