New Build for €1,000

Aodhan5000 · 05-02-2020 3:24pm #1

Hi all,
Friend thinking of getting a Gaming PC. Wants to get it for like €1,000 so any ideas on what he could get (prebuilt or DIY) would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Do they need Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse/Headset or just the PC itself?

Just PC itself

Do you want to overclock?

Preferably not

You could change the CPU to a 2600x and cheaper Case&PSU to drop the cost a bit more. But something like that would be decent. Others here may have better ideas

Something like this.

2TB SSD's aren't the most cost effective. I'd partition the 1tb ssd and set up 256gb cache space using StoreMI for the 3tb HDD to speed that up for gaming storage.

An RX580 @ 300 pounds?

@bloodbath
Sounds like a solid build. Will show it to him, trying to turn him off getting a pre built
