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

Gaming mostly and a bit of programming here and there. Currently playing Overwatch, League, Starcraft and hoping to play Battlefield V when it comes out. Current PC can't handle BF1 at the moment so can't really play all the games I want either.

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

£1500-2000 roughly I think.

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 Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

Probably Christmas time for sure when I have enough information about the new Intel CPU's and Nvidia GPU's once benchmarks are done but just want to see what PC I could get if I build immediately.

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

Everything but keyboard, mouse, headset and monitor but ideally I want to be getting a 144hz monitor in the budget somewhere as I am currently on 60hz.

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?

UK

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

Samsung 850 EVO 250GB but was thinking of getting another SSD for the big games.

Logitech G403

Kingston HyperX Cloud I

Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2014

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

Yes straight away ideally.

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)

I'm thinking of either going for the 1080ti or 2080 as I think my budget can handle it but not fully sure and depends on the benchmarks.

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?

None just a full tower PC really. A nice matching colour scheme (don't mind the colour) would be appreciated but I want to prioritise raw performance over anything and don't really care if it doesn't match as I prefer a longer lasting computer than a nicer looking one.

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

I have a digital license tied to my Microsoft account so not sure if that will be able to be used when I get this PC. I'm moving over the SSD that has Windows installed anyway but might do a full fresh reinstall for this PC and use my digital license hopefully. If this won't work then yeah, I will need a copy of Windows but have been told they aren't that expensive from third party sellers.

Thanks!!
