I have about £520 saved in the bank and I am expected to get about £130 for my birthday next month. That means I will have £650 (about $1000) to spend on a new computer. The current desktop I have is now 8 years old, only got 4gb RAM and since getting it has only had an upgrade to a mid-range Graphics Card. I however have been looking online for a good computer, but I cannot find anything too decent. Does anyone have any reccomendations to what I should get? I'm happy to go slightly over/under budget if required. The only requirements is that it has at least 8gb of RAM and an SSD Hard Drive (Preferably 1TB). Everything else is an extra! Let's see what you guys can come up with! ;) Link to comment

If the computer you have now is 8 years old, the graphics card will probably be bottlenecked... Upgrade the whole thing and don't go for prebuilt. Link to comment

Building your own computer isn't that difficult; a good YouTube video could walk you through it. Building your own computer can be a lot cheaper too, no labor fees and you can find deals online for parts. I don't know a lot about what parts are good right now so I can't help you there. Good luck! Link to comment

I definitely could've built my computer easily but yeah.. Link to comment

You can get sooo much more out of building rather than buying a pc. However, if you live in Europe, this site is extremely good for purchasing pc's if you don't want to build one yourself. https://www.gladiatorpc.co.uk/ Link to comment
