As the title says its been a while since I looked into buying hardware and the time has come to build a PC.
Its been a fair few years since I was regularly looking into hardware, I know of current high range hardware but I have a hard time believing that I will get a Nivdia 1080 in the budget stated below. My knowledge of current mid-range hardware is none existent.
I have a budget of £700 GBP and the OS which I need to be Windows 10 will be included that budget, so if anyone can recommend somewhere I can get windows 10 on the cheap I will be appreciated. The machine main use will be for gaming.
I will be very grateful for any recommendations and outlined builds.
What's your display set up?
Sorry for the almost week long reply it's been hectic on my end, decided to review my monitor of choice and have deiced that specs wise it is to old, so £700 is now to include a monitor as well as the gaming pc
Then start here, wait for the after market 480s, could maybe get a little nicer case, or 16gbs of RAM or higher end PSU probably
and look for this monitor, which is 1080p 75Hz IPS with Free-sync, at least it should be 75hz with free-sync, over HDMI as well I believe
