Seeking a replacement computer and assistance with constructing an affordable system for around £1000.
Hello everyone,
I’m currently using a desktop computer that’s experiencing significant performance issues and occasional in-game lag. Consequently, I believe it’s necessary to either upgrade my existing system or purchase a new one. My current setup includes a mini-ITX build:
Motherboard – Asus H110M-A D3
CPU – Intel Core i5-6400 (2.7 GHz)
GPU – Radeon RX 590
Memory – 8GB DDR3 (4x2 sticks @ 1600MHz)
PSU – 600W Be Silent!
My budget is approximately £1000, and I primarily play first-person shooter games like PUBG and Call of Duty, as well as racing titles such as Need for Speed. I’m open to either assembling a custom PC myself or purchasing a pre-built system.
Thank you.
