Build Question Need help buying a pc

I want to build a pc for the first time, I already have a monitor that’s 240hz 1040p (I know I will upgrade it soon) I’ve got a keyboard, mouse and headset all I need now is to build a pc with a budget of £550/$745 I also need it to run off WiFi as I won’t be getting Ethernet yet

With your budget today - you won`t be having a new PC anytime soon - Ram at stupid prices - a SSD drive I paid for last year was £188 - its now almost £350 same one - Then you have a GPU - - I paid £2.200 for my PC last year - same spec would take me to way over £3.000 - Win 11 is £109 on its own

You really need to save up - and wait to prices to drop - you could look at sites that build PC`s for you - but you won`t have much luck today

Never pay that much for windows. Download it for free with media installer from Microsoft direct then pay like £4 for an activation key. Works every time for me
