[Brandon226789]

hi I have just joined this website and was looking if anyone could give me help with a new build budget is £600 could someone please look for the best parts and the
parts that work together the best for gaming as I don't know much about this sort of stuff would appreciate it so much

What games are you looking to play and at what settings?

Is it just the PC within the £600 budget, or do you need the monitor (and other peripherals?) as well?

If you already have a monitor, what resolution and refresh rate is it?

Are you self-building the PC, or looking to buy a prebuilt one?

What's the budget for the monitor?

The budget for the monitor matters since you'll want the PC and monitor to balance well together in terms of spec.

And for PVP shooters with this kind of budget you'll ideally want a 1080p 144hz screen which might often be ~£180-200. And a PC good enough to drive it.

You may well end up playing on generally low settings to try to maximise framerates for a competitive advantage.

PSU pricing and availability is messed up by the pandemic, so the 600W Bronze unit there is actually one of the better buys right now it seems.

A 1660 Super would be ideal, especially if you intend to play more demanding games at higher settings too. The 1660 non-Super is not worth considering as it's only £20 cheaper than the Super. The 1660 Super does take the price of the system minus monitor to ~£660, but it could be worth looking at extending the budget for that.

If buying on Amazon, only buy items sold buy Amazon themselves, not marketplace sellers, as it could potentially cause warranty issues.

Monitor options include:
