Sorry to be posting another thread as I know there are many similar already.

I'm looking to purchase my first gaming pc. I've looked over many sites and forums and feel very overwhelmed, My budget is around £1200 and hoping to include a monitor in this. I have no confidence in building my own or putting it together so thinking a prebuild is my best bet. I've been looking over the black Friday deals https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/desktop-pcs/blackfriday/ i wanna make sure I'm getting the best I can with the budget I have. ( I appreciate its not the biggest)With scope to be able to upgrade it in the future.
I've read that I can save money getting the operating system windows 10 elsewhere

I'm really into survival games , so needs to be able to run the likes of dayz and scum. Also like playing warzone so if it could run that at a decent level even better.

Any help is much appreciated
Thank you in advance

Hi there! Sooooo, I wouldn't recommend going for a pre-build as they often contain some mismatched components and the area that they definitely suffer in is one that you wanted - potential for future upgrades.

I've specced you up a custom build for £1200 that is ideal for gaming and built with the future in mind. The caveat is... it doesn't include a monitor. Black Friday is almost upon us, if you can dig deep and find another £150-200 to get a 1080p 144Hz monitor on sale, you'll have a peach of a system.

I'd also ignore any sites or vendors claiming to sell a cheap Windows license. They're all dodgy. Every last one of them.
