Brilliant, thanks for all the help!

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide these options, I really appreciate it. My instinct is to go for the more powerful basic build and then slot in a better GPU in 6-12 months when I've saved a bit of cash, so I'm leaning towards the second option. Out of curiosity, what are the...

Thanks for the reply and all the helpful feedback. It will be a translation project planner role, so a lot of Excel, project management software, and translation software suites. Plus Zoom/Teams meetings.

UPDATE: So, I should hopefully be starting a new WFH job soon, and as I'll be at my desk 9-5 and earning a little more money, I'm looking to put together a PC that can do a bit of everything. My budget is probably going to max out at around £1300, but there is probably a little wriggle room...

Thanks for the swift response! What should I be looking at/thinking about to know whether it's going to be upgradable in the future? What is it about the build I posted that means I wouldn't be able to upgrade to something better in the future? Also, would it be capable of playing games...

Hi all. I'm putting together a budget gaming PC for about £800. I already have my monitor/keyboard/mouse/speakers etc set up and ready to go as I already have a Macbook Air that I use for studying and general work, but I would like to build a PC that will allow me to play a decent range of...
