Hello all,

I have a friend who is thinking about buying a gaming PC. Would anyone be able to help please? As i have no idea 😂

His limit for the whole set up is £2000

Thanks

Hi there! Assuming Whole setup means PC, monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset- this should do them nicely.

For monitor, I own the AOC CQ27G2U and am very happy with it. It’ll match nicely with the 3060TI. For the other peripherals, I’ve just added the ASUS bundle from PCS for now. It gives you a decent set of peripherals to get you going as these are the easiest things to upgrade over time. If you wanted to do some research and buy separately, the budget allows about a £130 spend on these.

Any questions, ask away!
