Hi,

Wanted a full relatively cheap (£700-£800) gaming setup with preferably i3 or i5 processors, 8gb ram, good graphics card ( 1080p 60fps at anything I throw at it), led case (or not) with built in fans that come with it and motherboard can be anything that suffices.

Monitor 23"

And fnatic gaming keyboard and mouse ( seems like a cheaper option that Corsair or Razer). It can be anything that is good and is not tacky.

Probably going to start off with playing Overwatchand LoL and PUBG, then just throwing whatever triple A game I can get my hands on. Probably going to build this in the summer, or straight after, when I have the money.
 
I would go with a setup like this, and spend a little bit more so I woudn't have trouble in future games take a look. I'm not sure you will be able to spend only £ 700 ~800 in very good pc and still keep with 1080p and steady 60fps in all games, at least not in Ultra settings I'm afraid... What settings are you looking forward to play your games at?

If you find that too expensive you could go with a GTX 1060 instead

Remember just a suggestion :)
