Hi everyone, Im intending to get my first properly built pc and i dont really know an awful lot about most of it so looking for some advice on it all if possible.
My budget is probably around £1500 at most, maybe a little bit more if needed. I already have a monitor so its just the system im looking for.
I'm looking to be playing games such as cyberpunk on highest, flight sim at a good level and just some newer titles in higher settings if possible.

Ive looked at some of the prebuilt/suggested ones on here so any suggestions of any of them would be welcome also

Any help would be much appreciated. :)

Heya! We'd be happy to sort something for you! What monitor have you got? (make and model or resolution and refresh rate would be ideal!) Knowing this will be super important for which graphics card to pick to pair with the build.

I've got this spec (i cant now remember how i got it last night now) but would this be a good build?
Looking to game newer games on high end and things like cyberpunk on highest.
I dont really want to go much higher in price than this and obviously any thing to bring it down would be a bonus.

Any help would be much appreciated. :)

For this monitor you wouldn't need to spend all of your budget, the 3060 will more than happily handle 1080p 144hz. You could spend your whole budget by upgrading to a 5800X system but it's not 100% neccesary. Up to you- we'd be happy to spec one for you if you'd like

Case
COOLERMASTER MASTERBOX TD500 MESH ARGB GAMING CASE Better quality case with quieter fans, other options are the Lian Li Lancool II or Corsair 220T (which is quite small) or 4000X
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Six Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.6GHz/35MB CACHE/AM4) Less cores but for gaming, performs better than the 3800X
Motherboard
ASUS® TUF GAMING B550-PLUS WiFi (DDR4, USB 3.2, 6Gb/s) - ARGB Ready!
Memory (RAM)
16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 8GB) AMD loves fast RAM so bumped it up to a 3200mhz kit
Graphics Card
12GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3060 - HDMI, DP, LHR
1st M.2 SSD Drive
512GB INTEL® 670p M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 3000MB/sR | 1600MB/sW)
1st M.2 SSD Drive
1TB PCS PCIe M.2 SSD (2200 MB/R, 1500 MB/W) Swapped the SATA SSD for an NVME SSD
Power Supply
CORSAIR 850W RMx SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET Much higher quality and higher wattage PSU which will comfortably handle a GPU upgrade when the time comes
Power Cable
1 x 1 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead)
Processor Cooling
CoolerMaster Hyper 212 (120mm) Fan CPU Cooler Black Edition
Thermal Paste
STANDARD THERMAL PASTE FOR SUFFICIENT COOLING
