Very sensible, we wouldn’t recommend Intel as they’re just broken, the 12th gen weren’t affected but are now over 3 years old and on a dead platform, a modern AMD build would give better performance at the same budget and allow for upgrades down the line.

if you can post your max budget, use case and make and model monitor someone can help

 

[Mr_Smooth]

Budget is around £800-900, the games I'm looking to run on it are Hunt Showdown 1896, Baldur's gate 3 and Monster Hunter wilds is the main one next year. Monitor is a tv (Bush 32 Inch Smart Full HD HDR LED TV / DVD Combi).

You're not going to be able to put together a custom PC for that sort of budget. Ideally, for 1080p, you'd need £1,500, 1440p you'd need £2,000 and 4K you're looking at £2,500.

I think at that price, you'd be better off going for a console. Or saving a bit more money and coming back in a few months time.

the above build is £865 before VAT so comes to around £1060 after VAT which is fine. The above budget is not including VAT (just RAW Price of parts).

The above build also has:

- An old processor, made by an untrustworthy company
- A microATX motherboard
- Slow RAM
- Only one, small storage drive
- An under-powered power supply, which doesn't allow for future upgrades
- A non-recommended CPU cooler

Although not impossible to put together a PC for the budget you mention, it'd never be recommended due to cutting too many corners on components.

The title also mentions, 2 SSD's, going to 3. Do you have those already? Are they M.2 SSD's?

Are you looking for a PCSpecialist system as they come fully built, you can't order individual parts?

There's no way you can get anything worthwhile at the budget you're saying, not in a custom pc anyway, you'd be better off with a previous gen off the shelf.
