Buying advice

What to include in your PC budget

The graphics card and processor are usually the biggest choices. Start with your main games and monitor resolution, then allow for memory, storage and any peripherals.

If you already own a monitor and accessories, you can put more of the budget towards the tower. If you are starting from scratch, include those extras in your spending limit.

Changing components or adding accessories changes the total. Check the full configuration price before ordering.

FAQs

Gaming PC budget FAQs

Full PC prices, setup costs and choosing where to spend.

How should I set a budget for a gaming PC?

Budget for the whole setup, including any monitor, keyboard, mouse and headset you need. Use the remaining amount to compare PC specifications for your games and screen resolution.

Do the budget ranges refer to the whole PC or just the case?

The ranges filter complete PC prices. They do not refer to the price of the case shown in the photo. Component changes and accessories can move a build into another range.

What should I prioritise for a lower-cost gaming PC?

Prioritise a suitable graphics card and processor, then enough memory and SSD space for your games. Case appearance and lighting can be adjusted after the main specification fits your budget.

How do I choose between the £1,000–£1,500 and £1,500–£2,000 ranges?

Compare the actual parts and full price in each range. Look at what the extra spending changes: the GPU, CPU, memory, storage or case, and whether that change helps your setup.

Should I spend more on the processor or graphics card?

That depends on your games and monitor. Higher resolution and visual settings put more demand on the GPU; CPU-heavy games and other applications can justify more processor spending.

How much memory should I choose within my budget?

Check the requirements of your games and the applications you run alongside them. Choose memory capacity and speed supported by the selected processor and motherboard.

Is a larger SSD worth paying for?

A larger SSD gives you room for more installed games. Choose capacity around your library and update sizes, and check whether another compatible drive can be added later.

Why might a budget range show no matching PCs?

The available configurations may fall outside that range at current prices. Try a nearby band or contact us with your spending limit.

Can I customise a PC after choosing a budget band?

Yes. Open a PC and change its components in the configurator. The full total updates as you choose parts.

Are a monitor and peripherals included in the budget price?

Peripherals are not included unless shown in the selected configuration. Include their cost if you need a monitor, keyboard, mouse or headset.

Can I plan a build around future upgrades?

Upgrade options depend on the motherboard, power supply, case space and parts already fitted. Check those limits before treating an upgrade as a future saving.

What if I am unsure which build fits my spending limit?

Send us your budget, main games, monitor resolution and any gear you already own. That gives us enough information to help compare suitable configurations.
