Solution
you should use this website here; make sure it's set to UK on top right. it'll source best priced items. you can completely build your system and have it do a basic compatibility check for components (done automatically)

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/

then you come back to this forum and post your system for 2nd thought/tweaks. use the [bb] button on the pcpartpicker website to get the full list (copy paste) it's on upper toolbar

You do not need to follow the build exactly. Many of these parts have very similar alternatives from the same or other manufacturers. As far as gaming performance is concerned the GPU, CPU and RAM are what matter. The rest just needs to be compatible.

Some of those parts are outdated and have current alternatives which will provide better performance for less money. Some parts are unnecessarily expensive. Such as the RAM. It will only operate at 2133Mhz unless you get what is called a Z series motherboard. The extra money spent is pointless.

The build also lacks some required items. Namely a Power Supply and copy of Windows.

Linked is a build using PCPartpicker.com UK. With a full set of parts you need. Parts which are changed are done so because they offer better performance for the price. Parts added are those needed to complete the build. While there are cheaper screens the model listed is a good quality gaming monitor.
