Hi, what's your budget??

Regardless of whatever the price is, I'd save up for it, but I just want an idea of what kind of specs would be needed for a good quality PC capable of handling streaming & warzone etc. without issues. Don't really have a budget per se.

It's pretty hard to recommend without a budget, but below would probably be our general ideal starting spec, you can go less and you can certianly go more, but we'd reckon this as a comfortable starting point. Depending on how long it'll take you to save, it might be worth coming back when you have cash in hand if it'll still take you a little while- the PC market is pretty volatile right now and prices are changing daily if not weekly. A PC that costs £1500 today might cost £1300 in a month, so best to spec when you're ready to order.

Case
LIAN LI LANCOOL 215 GAMING CASE Great value high airflow high quality case
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™ i5 Six Core Processor i5-12400F (2.5GHz) 18MB Cache Probably the budget gaming CPU to go for right now, you could also save a buck by going with the i3 12100 it's a little powerhouse
Motherboard
ASUS® TUF GAMING B660-PLUS WIFI D4: ATX, LGA1700, USB 3.2, SATA 6GBs - ARGB Ready Solid board from the choices PCS has, should allow you a CPU upgrade in the future
Memory (RAM)
16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 8GB) 16GB should be ample for most games, for your uses (warzone and streaming, you might want to consider 32GB)
Graphics Card
8GB AMD RADEON™ RX 6600 - HDMI, DP - DX® 12 Personal pick from me- value champion GPU right now, same performance as a 3060 and costs ~£100 less. You can spend less than this (see 1660 Super or 1650) but this'll be a solid modern GPU that should do you well for a few years to come. Oh, not to mention it'll also be a nice match for your 1080p 144hz monitors
1st M.2 SSD Drive
512GB INTEL® 670p M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 3000MB/sR, 1600MB/sW) We'd tend to recommend to go for 2 drives, this first one would house Windows and applications
1st M.2 SSD Drive
1TB PCS PCIe M.2 SSD (2200 MB/R, 1500 MB/W) This 2nd one would be a dedicated drive for games and other files. The other option is to go for a single 1TB SSD, it comes out cheaper but can have some downsides
Power Supply
CORSAIR 750W RMx SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET We'd recommend a 750W minimum for a future GPU upgrade, the RMx PSU's are really high quality so a great pick that'll last years
Power Cable
1 x 1.5 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead)
Processor Cooling
PCS FrostFlow 100 RGB V3 Series High Performance CPU Cooler Decent little air cooler for the 12400F
