New gaming pc for Christmas

[Andy_newb]

Hi All,
My son wants a gaming pc for christmas, we have a budget of around £700 for the pc and monitor. He plays on Grand theft auto and call of duty currently on his xbox 1s.

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

And thank you sir!

And thank you sir!

Your welcome, if you shop wisely you may save a little.

Make sure you get a 1650 super not a regular 1650 as the super is more powerful.

Cass you could probably save a few quid but it looks and cools well.

Thank you, is there much difference in between the 1650 super and the 1660 super? I could stretch the extra few quid if its worth it.

Yes the 1660 super is about 20% faster and has more vram which will allow higher detail and fps .

Black Friday soon so look for bargains.

Good Morning Gents, i have purchased all of the parts you have recommended i just cant see to get hold of the GPU (MSI GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER AERO ITX OC 6144MB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card). Please could you recommend an alternative, budget up to £250.

Thanks for all your help, Andy

Thought so any 1660 super will do, I would get a twin fan version like the one I linked.

Slightly overclocked compared to the above , rgb lights and zero fan speed at idle.

Depends on how much more but its up to you.
