Help me reduce costs whilst running games at decent frame rate

[9Matty9]

Hello! Im looking to build a pc mainly for casual gaming. this means im not looking for insane graphics or unreal performance but i would like to be able to run the following games on good to very good graphics whilst remaining in budget.

I was hoping to spend under £1000 but can push my budget to £1150 as well.

The games i play are:
7 days to die

Unfortunately the build is hugely compromised by the budget. It's just not feasible to get a good gaming PC for £1000. Those games you mention aren't too bad for being process hungry but the last thing you want to do is build a system that covers them but needs the bin when your aspirations change.

Under £1500 budget, we would typically recommend a console. You will get significantly more performance out of a console than you will a gaming PC, they aren't designed solely for gaming so the open nature of a PC costs more by design.

The real key consideration for your build is the monitor. What are you connecting to for playing? Resolution and refresh rate is the minimum required information but if you have the model number that will help us be able to guide as well.

Post below with the sort of info we require and also some information if you fancy a read.
