I plan on getting my first gaming pc but unsure on budget. Could a 500 GBP budget run games such as H1Z1, GTA V and Overwatch at 1080p on max setting and 60+ FPS. Or would the budget have to be higher?

The budget has to be as much money as you have and are willing to spend. You're not going to be able to max H1Z1, and GTA V with that budget but you'll be able to play them.

Thanks for the reply. I'm comfortable spending around 1000 GBP but I didn't want to spend that if I didn't need to.

Alright, so we've got a budget of £500-1000 to work with?

Do you need a monitor? If not, what monitor(s) have you got?
Do you need a mouse, keyboard, headset, etc?
Will you overclock?
Any preferred aesthetic(colour scheme, side panel window, LEDs, etc)?

Need monitor, mouse and keyboard.
Yes I will be overclocking.
Black and red colour scheme. Side panel window and red LEDs would be nice but not nessersary.

Easily will max over watch, gta might need a couple settings tuned but should be pretty much Mac settings.
H1Z1 isn't a very well optimised game so I don't really know what performance you would get,you should manage decent settings though .
