Im stuck!

Hardware Build a PC
1

-£500 pc

light workstation use (not sure if coding and general pc stuff is workstation)

not fussed about colour match or anything like that (a nice case i guess but really don't care about component colour)

i'd like to be able to run on ultra but its a budget so fast as possible for gaming

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

overall a good gaming pc with the ability to be a "workstation"

(not entirely sure what workstation means in reference to what im doing, could just be considered general pc stuff but i do code, but i never edit or render. not sure.)

thanks in advance - b785e

I have two hard drives and I think I'll skip the ssd, with this £80 spare what component should I allocate this to. I know with gaming pcs money is usually put on the gpu. So what should I do? Cpu or gpu?
