[SOLVED] Gaming Build Suggestions

[calavera86]

Hi all,

I'm looking to build a gaming PC that doesn't break the bank. I will be using it for games such as Cities Skylines, Planet Coaster, Civ, Anno, Tropico etc.

I won't be using it for any FPS or VR , I imagine Planet Coaster will be the most demanding game I would use.

Could people recommend parts for a complete rig.


Thanks

What is your budget? Do you need a monitor?

What is your budget? Do you need a monitor?

I'd be looking around £600, however at this stage I'd be prepared to sacrifice a little bit of performance to make it cheaper and can upgrade as I go.

No I don't need a monitor.
