    Default New PC build

    Just a quick question I want to build a really good pc so I can turn the computer I'm on now into a work pc. The pc I would be building would be set up in the living room hooked up to the TV as a monitor. I think its a 37" TV, but I may getting a bigger TV at some point so I'd need a good graphics card to be able to play games on such a big screen decently. I'm just starting off with the case, but it can take up to 6 hard drives. I've not worked out a budget yet, but I'm wondering if I wanted to play Fallout 4 for example would I need a i7 or would an i5 suffice?

    For fallout 4, i5 is minimum. Guess it depends a little on which one though. Probably be best to go as high as you possibly can on whatever budget.

    Was looking at this as an option.

    All in one package, but may want to look around as a lot of the package deals usually have one or two components that aren't that great.

    Yeah that would probably do it

    Dunno about parts - ram looks decent though. Looks pretty good. Wish I could afford something like that.

    Just had a friend say that their wife's gaming pc cost about £680 and that plays everything current. Will probably have to put this off till I get back from Leeds. Thanks for the help Zal.

    get a dedicated GPU (AMD RX-460 or better, or GeForce GTX-10 series) and you'll be pretty set.
