I've been wanting to build my own PC for a while, but honestly, I don't know where to start. I've done some online research and asked around, but it's tough to find reliable information. I'm looking to spend between £400 and £500. My primary goals are to play games like Warzone and Arc Raiders, watch movies, and use it for work. Ideally, I want something that's future-proof and can be upgraded over time. Any recommendations or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Given how prices are right now, it's not the best time to build a future-proof PC. You might want to lean towards second-hand or even prebuilt systems that fit in your budget. It’s a tough market for first-time builders.
With your budget, it might be worth checking local marketplaces like Facebook Marketplace for used PCs. Prices for new builds are high right now, and it could be tough to get what you want within that price range.
If you're open to increasing the budget, that’s great! Just keep in mind that at that price point, a console might be a better investment or you might want to wait for better options to come out.
Honestly, if you're aiming for a future-proof setup, you might want to consider increasing your budget a bit. For a decent gaming PC, you're looking at around £700 minimum right now.
Yeah, you might want to consider waiting for something like the Steam Box if you're not in a hurry.
