    Hi, first gaming build. Never built a rig before but done plenty of psu replacing, adding in gfx cards, ram...etc. Mostly going to be used for gaming but I'm not that bothered about playing on ultra settings (can hear any people gasp in frustration).

    What is your budget? (preferably under 1.3k)

    What will be the main purpose of the computer? [Mostly gaming, some audio editing]

    Are you willing to try overclocking    ? [Yes, if there is huge gains to be had]

    How can you pay? [any method really]

    When are you purchasing? [Next week or 2]

    Main reason I've never built a desktop from scratch before was the amount of choice overwhelmed me and I found it utterly confusing and tiring. Came up with this so far but happy to hear alternatives and suggestions. Thanks
