PC advice

[KieranD]

Hi guys,

I'm after some advice regarding a new PC.

Nothing to fancy as I only have a budget of £1,000 - £1,250.

I'll be using it for games such as Call of Duty, Halo, Football manager, I play other games from time to time but mostly indie or none AAA titles so they won't be that taxing.

I'm hoping for an Intel based system as I've had AMD in the past and had a few issues with them.


Any help you could provide would be great!


Thanks!!

Do you already have a monitor?

Prices are through the roof at the moment and really your budget doesn't allow for what would be considered entry level without making some compromises

Personally I would suggestswving up more til you have £1600 just for the pc

If that really is your budget you could go with this which would probably get you 1080p at a reasonable frame rate. It is a system that would still work with a more powerful gpu if you upgraded in the future (like the 3060 ti).

If you already have Windows on your pc you can port it across and save ~£100.

I already have a decent monitor for what I need. I know the market isnt great at the mo and there is some wiggle room in the budget I'd just rather keep things down to a minimum.

Thanks for your advice 😊
