First gaming PC build, need help (£1000 budget)

[Will1998]

Hello, I'm looking to get a new pc for Christmas and I am wondering what system you would recommend within a £1000 budget. I already have a monitor at 1080p so I wont need a new one. I am also planning on getting AC: Unity at Christmas and would like to have a system that would run it at high settings 50-60 fps.

Thanks!

Thanks Thasinang. How long would this build last me? And how well would it perform on high graphic games i.e. Metro: Last Light, Witcher 2, Crysis, etc.

It will max out any game you throw at it for next couple of years. And you will easily get 60+ fps in those games you've mentioned.

Hello again. Thanks for the build but before I order it I'm thinking of changing the SSD 128gb to a 256gb one. Are there any 256 GB SSD's you would recommend?

Thanks
