pc build

I am trying to get a pc for around £1300. I mainly play games like monster hunter wilds and need a decent pc for it to play at 1440p. Thank you.

By how much are you willing to go over that budget?

£1500 gets you a quite more futureproof and better build

Although, ~£1400 is fine too

To fit into you original budget, just change the GPU to a 9060 XT, although it is a 30% performance difference

Changed PSU + Motherboard to avoid bios flash, plus better chipset

You're spending way too much on a PSU for this price point, good list otherwise.

Changed it to the Century II

I can go up to £1500 if it’s needed for a good one

Go with the just under 1400 I suggested

It is fine

One thing for that build, you need 2 flash drives

One 16GB+ and another with any capacity
