What good gaming PC could I get for £800

nbendall34 · 19 Sep 2020 at 19:21

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums but not to PC building. I have a friend who is looking to build a PC for around £800. She mainly wants to stream and game on it and wants to run windows but price of the Operating System isn't important. This is my part list that I'm thinking of. The website says it will be compatible but I just want a professional's point of view. Is there anything I could get to perform better? Will it actually all work together? Thanks in advance, Nathan.

That link seems dodgy....

Can you make a basket on ocuk and copy the bb code ( easily done from the basket page ) and copy paste it into here.

Can't link to PCPP website mate as it has competitor links. OcUK are obviously a retailer, so don't allow competitor links on their forums.

Just copy/paste the basket with prices, or as FloppyPoppy suggests build the basket if you can on OcUK's website... then if you view basket there is a BBCode you can copy/paste into the forums that looks a little more elegant.

Do you not need a monitor/operating system/keyboard/mouse?

No, these are already sorted.
