Hello all,
Fairly new to the PC gaming scene, iv always wanted a good desktop computer to run games without difficulty and in high quality. So with some help already I have put this build together and would welcome any further guidance/suggestions.

Im no pro/competitive gamer so im not looking to spend thousands, the below build is currently at £845. I mainly want this to be able to run games like total war, in high graphics without difficulty.

Pretty excited to get up and running and become a pc gamer! especially with all this free time at the moment. So before I commit to doing so, any help would be appreciated!

Thank you kindly!

Its important to know what monitor you will be paring the PC with, do you have a model number available or know the resolution and refresh rate?

Also a budget, do you have a max spend

When you post these, one of the helpful experienced chaps will get back to you when they can with some advice.
Glad you asked, It's worth waiting for prior to placing the order to get best use out of your money and the PC!

Thanks for the reply.

The monitor I was advised would work with this setup whilst keeping the cost down was this.
ACER Nitro VG220Qbmiix Full HD 21.5" IPS LCD Gaming Monitor
Resolution: Full HD 1920 x 1080p
Refresh rate: 75hz

I'm not sure I want to spend much more than £850, which I know limits what I will get. But as I said I would only class myself as a casual gamer so im a bit hesitant to spend much more than this
