New to PC gaming

[TheEvilRobot]

Hi everyone,

I am looking for some advice for my first gaming pc. It seems like a minefield and I am completely lost.

Im looking for something that can be upgraded in time, my budget is £1500 but if its a little over I will consider it.

I will be playing and streaming different games. Games like DayZ, WoW, Elden Ring, Warzone and Apex Legends. I would also like to try some single player campaigns.

If there is anyone at all that can please help, I would really appreciate it. Anything else you need to know am happy to answer.

Thanks in advance

Aaron

The truth is that your budget is too low for a suitable, upgradeable custom PC. Even at 1080p, we're looking at around £1600-£1700 at the moment. Even cutting a few corners, which we try not to do, it's not possible to trim off £600+.

My advice would be to put some more money aside or, if you're unable to do that, look at a console instead.

Thanks for your reply.

I already own an Xbox Series X, wanting to get myself a pc to play other games and also play with friends.

How much are we looking at for what kind of pc? It doesnt need to be all singing all dancing.
