Hi Forum
My Vortex 3 laptop is on it's last legs and i've decided to switch to a desktop for gaming.
I was looking to build a new desktop and wanted to get thoughts on the build below.
I play mainly league of legends/ starcraft which I know this is over kill for but would like some leeway to play something more demanding
I was going to build from scratch but realised I'd only save about £100-150 which would mean i'd have no warranty cover if things go wrong.
Any thought would be appreciated. I have a monitor which i'm not planning to replace to soon: Dell UltraSharp 27 USB-C Monitor - U2719DC
My budget is around the £1000 mark
