Need Help Building a Gaming PC on a £1000 Budget
Asked by

Hey everyone! I'm new to gaming PCs and I have a budget of around £1000. I'm hoping to build a PC that can handle 240+ fps in competitive games like Fortnite, Valorant, Rocket League, and even Minecraft. It's also important that it runs smoothly for my university work and general tasks. I'm planning to use performance mode rather than max settings. I've done some research and I'm considering the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D or the Ryzen 7 7700X based on benchmarks. However, I'm a bit stuck on choosing the right GPU since prices vary a lot. Any advice would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks for the suggestions! Quick question though—I've heard it's better to go with NVIDIA GPUs for streaming. If I'm just doing it for fun and playing at 1080p, should I invest more in a 4060 or is the RX 9060 XT enough?

Here's a solid part list I found:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F 3.7 GHz 6-Core
- **Cooler**: Thermalright Assassin King SE
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B650M S2H
- **Memory**: Kingston FURY Beast RGB 16 GB DDR5
- **Storage**: 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD
- **GPU**: XFX Swift OC Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB
- **Case**: Montech XR ATX Mid Tower
- **Power Supply**: Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 ARGB 650W
Total cost is about £1011.80, and it should be pretty good for both gaming and light streaming.
