Build me a PC please

[SickNation]

Hi All,

So, I've had my current PC for 6 years now and I think its time for an upgrade, first of all, sorry if this isn't in the right topic, I just created an account. Anyway, I'm looking for a PC that is capable of running GTA V and Battlefield V o any other high performance game smoothly with no lag, the computer should be capable with Overclocking and I only need the PC (no screens or keyboard etc), I have 2 screens so will need a decent graphics card.

My budget is £500, if anyone is able to create a PC for me then I would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jacob

You wouldn’t be able to get a custom PC at that budget, you’d be looking at second hand or off the shelf, or console which would give a better experience.

Agreed. £500 for a decent gaming PC is borderline-to-unrealistic, nevermind what sounds like a system where you want everything including overclocking. Overclocking is best done with a decent CPU cooler, case, and PSU, which will eat large chunks of your budget before you even get to the basic gaming bits. The Windows licence is another £90-odd

What would be a decent budget minus the overclocking?

+1 to the above

You could drop the SSD and add one later yourself of course, though a little less hassle and a big quality of life improvement to getting one from the off.

Ideally a 550W PSU to keep your hands free as possible for future GPU upgrades.
