I am from the UK and require some help building a gaming computer.

I have a budget also.
The budget varies. I need you to choose the components that will all fit together, with links to the website, and on the cheapest solution.

I need this computer to also play the latest games on the cheapest solution. Latest games as in present and upcomg ones.

Remember, I am from the UK so items must be from the UK as voltage is different etc.

When I say Cheapest solution, roughly between 500 pounds - 900 pounds and anything in between.

I need everything to piece together, for example, everything to fit in the case, the Graphics Card to fit on the Motherboard etc.

I would like everything inthe price, USBs, Power supply, video card, EVERYTHING a normal computer would have.

The reason I am building my own and not buying one because it is cheaper and you can get more out of it, also learn more about computers as I go along.
I am a beginner at this stuff and this will be my first build, and I just need help choosing the components. When people do choose them for me, I will know what to choose in the future, same or similar.
I will be following online guides on how to build this.

Thanks,
Jay. Please reply as soon as possible.

Heyy,

This guide will help you make your choices, there's plenty of recommended builds at the bottom for different budgets.

I'd bet that all, or very nearly all, of those parts are on www.ebuyer.com or www.overclockers.co.uk which are 2 of the better sites to buy from in the UK.

Shout back if you dont understand anything, though Carbon will be able to tell you more than I when it comes to best buys etc.

And would all of this produce high quality graphics on all current games and upcoming games?

Plus does it feature everything, such as USB ports, etc

The parts i have linked above are almost exactly the same as the High End build in the recommended hardware forum. The only difference are sub brands, the actual component is basically the same.

And yes, this system is probably one of the highest spec gaming machines around, it will certainly play all current games in high quality, and probably upcoming games for a good few years, but at the rate games are advancing, who knows!

P/M Carbon if you want more confirmation, hes the most hardware wise dude on the forum.

The 790XT is a DDR3 board, so those parts won't work together. The 790X is what you want. The rest is fine.

Also, do you want a monitor?

Yes I would like a monitor also, thanks. I won't be ordering now, I will most probably be ordering at the end of July. I just wanted to get everything sorted now ready. I have bookmarked all pages though.
