Hello,
Looking at replacing the gaming PC I last got from PC Specialist which has lasted me over 6 years which was great. I'm very much out of the loop on good/bad brands/components etc by now so will appreciate a bit of advice / build suggestion for a starting basis.
I'll mainly be looking to play MMOs like WoW and FFXIV regularly with nice graphics and smoothly and all that. It would also be great to get something that will handle current and up and coming games well generally. I'd especially like something ready for Elden Ring which I know doesn't have any specs yet but I imagine will be not too dissimilar from the level needed for Sekiro etc.
I definitely would want Windows on an SSD with a decent amount of space left over for games (so 250GB minimum I guess) and I could especially do with some guidance here as I'm not sure about all the benefits of the various acronyms like M.2, NVME etc as far as my purposes go.
As for budget it would be ideal if I could keep it within £1000 (just the tower, no need for monitor/peripherals) but would consider going a couple of hundred or so above that if that's what it takes to get something that will last me a good 5+ years (by last I mean continue to run most games relatively smoothly even if I have to make plenty of sacrifices on the graphics later in its life cycle).
Hope this all makes sense and many thanks in advance for any help.
