Please could somebody build me a PC that is within an £800 budget that can run games such as six siege and battlefield v at at high settings.

Keep in mind this will be my starter PC I am not knowledgeable in PC building and wish to start with a decent PC around this budget.
 
Solution
^ it's solid as a rock for high setting 1080p gaming

If you indeed up the budget to £900 then you simply put a better gpu in there & it's job done.

In all honesty if you are wanting to do this you need to learn to do it yourself. There will be problems and learning curves but you will learn how to fix them as you go. Building my own PC and over clocking it where the most fun I have had with PCs.

You won’t be able to do much with £800 to be honest. Spend the money on a current motherboard and cpu. A z390 if intel with an 8600k or 9600k best bang for buck.

A 1060gtx GPU will cost you around £200. Shop around but be aware of shipping costs. RAM from NEWEGG UK is cheaper than anywhere else but only by a few pounds after shipping. A 750 wat PSU with a 8600k and a 1060gtx would be ok.

 
If you go AMD and get a Ryzen 2600 and a £100 Mobo with a £60-£80 case, noctua cooler, and a 750 psu ( you might be able to push to 650 watt but you want to have room to upgrade the CPU in future). Ram 3000hz will set you back £130-£140 and the GTX 1060 are about £200 now. If you have the peripherals like monitor and mouse and keyboard you will be good to go at £900. Best I could do. You can cut costs with PSU and case but I wouldn’t. A case can last you 10 years if you pick a good one. My case for my new build is gonna cost about the same as you GPU.

Never cost cut on the PSU or the MOBO. They are the 2 most important things IMO

Good to go for £900? If so could you list the components with the lowest prices you can find please. Just to get an idea as I do have like all year to build just need a starting point.

 


Is this good for current games such as Battlefield V or would it need a lot of upgrading, a little upgrading is okay for now as I can aim to achieve it after initial build.

This will probably be what I go with then but is there any future upgrades I should keep in mind or do I just focus on upgrading the GPU and CPU?
 
A ryzen 2600, decent B450 board & 16gb ram will see you out for years imo.

There's no better base for a sub £1000 gaming system on a price to performance ratio at this moment in time

That may change if you aren't building yet simply because the ryzen 3*** series cpu's are due sometime in late spring.
