PC help

Hi!

I'm looking at moving from console to PC and am wondering if these specs are any good for playing games smoothly such as GTA V with mods and games like those. Are these specs good for this and run smoothly? If not can you reccomend what to change/upgrade etc? Budget between £800 & £1,100 thanks.

I would defo change cpu to amd 3600 or 3600x and gpu at least for a rtx 2060 super go with 2070 super for demanding games like gta v etc. and also for the future proof, also I would choose 16gb of ram and at least 2600mhz, whats your budget?

I would recommend saving just a little more to get a "have it all" 1080p system. Also note that if you were willing to spend around £300-£400 more you would get a 1440p system which would be a considerable jump from 1080p fidelity wise.

I would seriously consider 1440p when starting from scratch, it's a huge step up. Obviously there are costs involved but it's something to consider.

Below is 1080p "have it all" with a monitor included. If you wish for a 1440p suggestion let me know.
