Budget around £1250 - Looking for gaming

[NokkonWud]

Hi all,

I have a budget around £1250 and I am looking for a PC for gaming, ideally with things looking as possible.

It’s been a while since I’ve followed PC parts and am very much out of my depth right now.

Any and all suggestions very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Karl

What resolution/refresh?

Do you have anything that you can re-use? E.g. case, storage, PSU.

A full build, AMD/AM5:

If its been a while, do you need to add a monitor to the upgrade list? Larger 1440p for instance ?

 

[NokkonWud]

I do have a screen I could reuse, but wouldn’t be against getting another screen, albeit out of budget.

4K would be nice, but 1440p isn’t out of the question. Thanks.

I do have a mouse and keyboard.

Nice build.

@NokkonWud

Add an extra £50 and you can get a 7800xt , think it's worth the stretch.

Do what I did mate, and buy the monitor etc the month or 2 after, and use your current one in the meantime. That way you wont regret anything and can build as beast of a system possible vs your budget first
