What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

• Light gaming and general productivity. The games will be big strategy games (EU4, Stellaris, HOI), things like Divinity Original Sin 2, Rayman Legends, DMC games or Sea of Thieves.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

• Ideally £1500-1700, which can be stretched up to £2000 if absolutely necessary.

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

• 2-3 weeks.

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

• Tower. OS.

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

• London, UK

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

• BenQ EW3270U

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

• No overclocking in sight.

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

• 2 TB SSD.
• Future-proofing (within reason) for 5-7 years, being able to play games with moderate demands at reasonable quality by that time. It's OK if the configuration is overkill for the specific games mentioned above.

What type of network connectivity do you need? (Wired and/or WiFi) If WiFi is needed and you would like to find the fastest match for your wireless router, please list any specifics.

• Wireless

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

• Discreet smaller form factors preferred. The more silent the better. No external RGB, please.

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

• Sure.
