I am looking at building a custom gaming rig. This will be my first build and I have about £900 ($1500) to play with.
All I am really looking for is a rig that can play the latest games on high/ultra at 60+ FPS. It will only be used for Gaming/Browsing.
This is what I have so far, it is based on an online system configurator as I don't really know what's good and what's bad so any feedback is much appreciated:
