So my work computer has recently began encountering more freezing, more lag and has ultimately got slower (It was an awful computer anyway) (HP Slimline S5000) to the point that any type of gaming would cause it to crash. Since its 5 or so years old and I'm into gaming, I've decided to invest in a Gaming PC. I first began looking through Pre made builds but after extensive research I've decided go ahead and attempt to build my own PC due to the cost advantages and more one can get out of it :D
Budget. How much are you willing to spend : I am willing to spend approximately £400 - £600 (The less the better as I intend to buy a new mouse/mousepad and maybe keyboard)
Where do you live, and what currency do you use : I live in the UK and use British Sterlings as a currency (£)
Is there a retailer you prefer? : Not really, I only really aim towards investing in good quality, highly rated products and components.
Do you need or already have peripherals? : I do need a new mousepad and mouse, however I will be buying these separately and would not like the prices to intefear with the PC build. I already have all the components a normal pc has in my current one, I plan to take out the HDD (OS) and sell the rest as a complete package.
What will you be using your Glorious computer for? : I would be using my computer primarily for Gaming, however it will also be used for social networking (Steam, Twitch, YouTube)
Do you overclock or want to get into overclocking? : At this point in time I don't really want to get into overclocking, however I would possibly do it in the future.
Do you plan on going for custom watercooling now, or in the future? : Since it will only be a £500 or so build, water cooling seems unescessary and a little extensive, possible in the future but unlikely.
Operating System. Do you need a new one? : I can probably snag the Win 7 (32 or 64 bit, I don't know) 500GB HDD out of my current PC.
What FPS would you like to play at? : 60 FPS at high/ untra settings preferably on most games.
What resolution will you be playing at? //or would like to play at. : I currently play at 1080p (I believe, don't quote me on that) or 720p (Don't know) I would like to play at 1080p +
What kind of games do you like to play? : Minecraft, Fallout, Tonnes of indie games, MMO's, FPS's, GTA, Battlefield, Cod, and tonnes more big and small games. (Some were played on console/ I would also like to get into Counterstrike, Witcher etc)
What specific game will you be playing: I will be playing many, not one specifically, possibly MC or an FPS game with friends.
Thanks for reading through if you did :P I will be buying parts this week (earlyer the better) and attempting to build it after more research. I have build a custom setup and would appreciate if you could check it out :D http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/. You guys probably know better than me anyways haha. Any opinions, suggestions, ideas are welcomed, Please suggest your own builds for £500, that would be great! Thanks :)
