Hi all,
My Dell laptop has died after 10 years of faithful service and I would like to buy a replacement desktop.

I play World of Warcraft - BFA and Classic, and I have a budget of £1100 to include a monitor, I have chosen the Samsung LS24D330HSX/EN 24" LED monitor as I understand that a 24" is the minimum size for comfortable viewing, but perhaps there is a suitable alternative?

I have followed the forum and I have read around the subject of new builds, I would be very grateful if someone would review the specs in case I have chosen something that would unbalance it.

I only have experience of HDDs and there are several alternative SSDs to choose from, I am still unsure of my choice.

Many thanks

Meredith

The build looks absolutely spot on to me. Not a lot I would suggest to change at all to be honest. My personal preference would be the TXm PSU over the CV... but that's very minor.

Storage selections are spot on for high performance as well :)
