Best Gaming setup for £2200

bor.bil · Dec 17, 2017

Hi, I am building a gaming computer and I wanted your input on the best parts I could buy, i'd like to spend £2200 pounds on the entire setup, this includes; the computer itself, keyboard, mouse and headphones, and the monitor.

1440p, and something that could run all games on ultra which shouldn't be a problem at such budget.
I couldn't spot any existing threads that covered an entire set up at this price point.
Thank you for your time and effort!

^ looks good.
But I would ask you to try out the mouse in a retail store before buying it. The grip, feel and button position is important.

Gpu has a lot higher impact on gaming performance than cpu which is why swapped the i7 for an i5.
Also, what comes to monitors... Dell >>>>>>>>>>>> Acer

I'd agree with swapping the 8700k for a 8600k if it meant getting a 1080ti instead of a 1080. Much bigger impact for gaming performance in the GPU.

I've had one of those Corsair mice in the past and they're good but the best mouse I have ever used is my current Logitech G602.
