Please check my spec!

This computer is mainly for gaming, but I am also someone who works from home as well. Nothing serious, but a few accounting/business type programs.
This mostly came from the advice post on this forum, so it should be ok...
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Could someone also please tell me which monitor would be best with this? I don't understand the technical stuff around monitors at all. II'd like a 27inch at least.

What's your max budget for the computer?

What's your max budget for the monitor? A 1440p monitor which this build is suited to would be around £350

 

[thorhallur]

£350 for a monitor should be fine. My budget for the computer is up to £2500 including the monitor. This build cam in at 2375 but I can go a little over if necessary. Are there any ways I can save a bit here?

You don’t need the thermal paste as high quality stuff comes preapplied on the cooler.

do you need the soundcard? These days they’re no better than on board sound except for very niche gaming requirements.

Silver warranty as a minimum.

For the monitor I’d suggest:

Not too big or too small, a 27" monitor is just the right size for a wide variety of computing tasks. Next-day delivery and flexible finance available.

Great! Thanks. I don't see the monitor you suggested on the configurator. Which one that is available now from PCS would you suggest? There is an MSI 271CQR...

it does actually have freesync, just not listed on that site. It’s a decent monitor, will do you well.
