I've been contemplating buying a new PC for about a year now, my ideal budget is under £900 but would be willing to push to £1000 if necessary.
I currently use my PC to play Sims 4 with all expansions, to remote into work computer (using CAD/CAM programs) and other PC games; World of Warcraft, Skyrim, Planet Zoo & GTA V to name a few. However on my current PC the majority of those games don't run very well so have been looking for an upgrade.
Below is the spec I have done some research in and I believe it show be good but was just hoping for someone who knows what they were talking about to give it a glance and say whether I could improve in certain areas/if I was going over kill in any areas??
