Hey guys, I'm not great when it comes to computers, but is it possible to get a good one purely for gaming for £1000 or less? What sort of specs to you guys run to play games like cod in the highest settings?

Are you willing to build a PC?

You'll get better performance for your money instead of buying a pre-build.

Prebuilt or custom? Custom is better but you have to put everything together.

I'd prefer not to build it myself (lazy I know) although if it's not too difficult and I'd get much better value I'd potentially be willing to do it.

You will get a much better PC for your money if you build it, everyone on this site will recommend building your own unless they are dumb...

We need to know some more detail though.
Click here and answer these questions:

  • What is your budget and currency? (Pound sign does not work normally, use GBP abbreviation)
  • Do you need a monitor?
  • Do you need a keyboard?
  • Do you need a mouse?
  • Do you need an operating system?
  • What will you use the PC for?

Budget is 1000GBP
I need a monitor.
Already got a keyboard and mouse.
I would need an OS, preferably Windows 10.
And it will be used purely for gaming and maybe editing if I can get myself back into it!

16GB of RAM, i5. You can drop the cooler if you want to save a bit;

Xeon will be much better for editing and will help in gaming, 8GB of RAM;

You would really be wasting your money paying for Windows, either get it for free or buy it cheaper from somewhere like G2A.

Built this one for a friend. A little over 1000 (By 50 dollars) but very nice and inexpensive.
