First gaming pc

[connahnieurzyla]

I'm looking at this build for my first gaming pc, I know it's probably cheaper to go out and build one I appreciate that advice but I'm not doing that, could anyone please tell me if I should change anything, what the performance on current games would be like, and if I can change anything (keeping it under £1000/ $1423) it's currently on $1173 so about £824:



It also says it has 'Standard Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 automatic overclocking' - a friend said i should get a better processor but would this mean anything? Any advice would be nice, thanks

edit: included in price is the basic warranties and the division game code, just to add.

I am afraid it is not encouraged to give advice on other retailers since the forum belongs to PCS. You could try to look at a PCS alternative.

Sorry I should've figured that, that PC specialist build you've posted seems just as good for a similar price, is there any way to check the performance for that build on games?
