What’s the Best PC Build I Can Get for £600 to £700?

Honestly, if you can swing it, you might want to consider upping your budget a bit. While a £600-£700 PC will get you through a couple of years, it might not keep up with more demanding games. I learned this the hard way — getting a higher-end build right from the start makes a notable difference. If you can save up an extra £400-£800, you could invest in a system that lasts 5-10 years and plays most games on high settings.

If you're sticking to a £600-£700 budget, I’d recommend looking into these components instead of a prebuilt. People are leaning towards the upcoming 9060 XT, but for now, here's a dual option for you:

1) AMD CPU with Nvidia GPU:
- Ryzen 5 8400F
- 16GB RAM
- 500GB NVMe SSD
- RTX 5060 Ti 16GB

2) Intel CPU with AMD GPU:
- Intel Core Ultra 5 225F
- 16GB RAM
- 1TB SSD
- Radeon RX 7600 XT 16GB

You might need to grab a case separately, but these builds could be well under budget while giving you solid performance for today's titles. You can customize parts depending on what’s available too.

Building your own rig isn't as difficult as it sounds! I’d recommend a Ryzen 5 7600x build if you’re comfortable with a little DIY. If you can stretch to around £750-£800, you could get 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage, which is fantastic for gaming.

Here’s a rough build to think about:
- AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
- 32GB RAM
- 2TB SSD
- A decent GPU around the same price range as your budget

This setup would serve you much better for both current and upcoming games. Just check out PCPartPicker for compatibility and pricing.
