Hi Guys
I am after some advice. I have been asked to help my brother build a high spec gaming machine and after reading the feedback on the forum, it looks like I have a lot to learn on how everything works.
My brother suffered a stroke a few years back and now spends most of his time gaming and as his current PC often crashes and on it's last legs, I wanted to try and look at a PC that will be more than enough for now and offer at least 3 years future proofing.
I have a budget of around £2,500 - £2,700 and have opted to try and get the latest components, however I am sure there is more to it than this and was hoping for some feedback and advice on what would be the best build for this. Sorry, I don't have much of clue when it comes to this.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for your time looking at this.
Cheers Wayne
