Ok for starters PC Specialist over charge for there pre-built computers, that build would not even play Minecraft or go anything editing or recording wise, you need a dedicated GPU for recent games (GTX1060 or better) and a 4 core Intel CPU and at least and 4-8GB of RAM and also a decent PSU 500-700W to run the GPU, etc

Ignore what Abyss wrote. You DO NOT need a 1060 or better, a 4-core Intel CPU or a 500w-700w PSU for gaming and recording. If this was true, the PC player base/community would be much smaller because a good amount of people start out with a budget system that is low to medium end at best; that gets them familiar with what PC gaming is, so when they finally do get another upgrade, they're already familiar and comfortable. If everyone was expected to be a high-end system right at the start, this community would be so small and everyone would have their heads so far up their ass about people who can't afford to reach a 4k gaming PC or something of that equivalent "high end / overkill" (some people are like that yes, but it would be 10x worse.) Hell, even I started on a low end system and I literally have money to blow. A shitty AMD Athlon II X3 455 with a GTX 560 lol. Anyways, back to the whole "you need" things, 8 GB RAM is what you should be aiming for; 16 GB if the budget allows it. I don't know where in the hell he came up with the range of 4-8 GB RAM, but 4 GB of RAM isn't really going to cut it too well for gaming, recording and rendering, if it's an extreme budget, it may have to suffice but 8 GB is what you'll really want to be aiming for.

We'll need a little bit of information for the build.

Since you linked pcspecialist.co.uk, I'm going to assume you're using GBP as your currency; however, if that site was just a place holder, feel free to correct on the currency.

- How much are you willing to spend on your PC?
- Do you need any peripherals such as monitor, keyboard, mouse, headphones/headsets, ect?
- Do you need an OS?
- If you need peripherals or an OS, are they included in the budget for the PC or a separate budget?
- What games are you trying to play? "Recent games" or something like that won't be much help, having a few games to go off of helps with what is more demanding.
- Have any aesthetics that you want? Such as colour scheme, tempered glass, RGB, ect.

Since this is your first time building, I would go watch some videos on a PC build so you can get a visual of how it's done. It might seem intimidating at first, but it's really simply. It's only time consuming your first time, especially if you doubt yourself. In all reality, it's like adult Legos, so long as you don't try to break anything (forcing things in, bending and twisting) and if you use common sense, such as don't use power tools for assembly, don't drag your feet on carpet then start touching hardware, ect.
