It's been about 5 years since I last bought a PC from PCSpecialist. I'm now looking to buy a new PC and have a budget of approx £1400 (I don't want to exceed the £1400 mark unless necessary).
The PC will be primarily for gaming. I would like to run Fallout 4 and GTA 5 on maximum settings. I would also like to be able to play games for the next year or two on maximum, if not near maximum settings, and perhaps upgrade certain parts such as graphics card etc. in approx a year or so when games become even more demanding.
I would be grateful for anyone who can give competent advice on if I am going overboard/underboard on certain parts and if so how should I go about modifying my build more optimally?
I'm not 100% sure on the monitor I've chosen; again any advice would be more than appreciated. Would I also need to buy DVI cables or HDMI cables with the monitor? or do they come with? I'd also appreciate any advice on whether it's worth getting a PCI usb as I have no idea what the benefit to them is.
Thanks, Paul.
