Side note: is 600£ a good amount to invest in a pc? I have a friend that works at maplin and he can get me stuff a quarter off and I'm legit considering it so I can finally have a pc I can upgrade

google the parts you want and check the prices at other places because even with a quarter off you could probably get them cheaper online than at maplins

where did that other dog come from

you should definitely be able to build something decent for £600 assuming you're going for decent gaming stuff

try to get a graphics card with 4GB of vram, the 970 was supposed to be good (I got the 2GB 960 last year and it's pretty good for most things but will probably start to hit its ceiling soon), if you end up with more money than sense you can blow £600+ on a 1080 tho

16GB of ram should do you but get 2x8GB sticks so if you need to go up to 32 in a few years you can just get another two

CPUs seem to have pretty much stagnated, the intel i5 or i7 will do you

don't skimp on your power supply / mobo!

e: vitty is probably right on that one tbh

Christ what I was checking out didn't even include graphics card and was like 8 gigs ram

Nice idea. I'll check out online cuz apparently maplin is a ripoff (except maybe the case but we'll see)

Any recommended websites or something?

I have watched 10 episodes of Luke Cage today and would be watching more but Netflix crapped out. Also I had a slightly embarrassing moment earlier where after getting friendly / flirting with the girl in the Chinese takeaway, it turned out that biology book was not for her undergraduate course but rather her highers.

Bang me up lads, I'm a sweet and sour nonce.

Episode 3 is the best so far

Luke Cage is pretty good but is getting in the way of all the other poo poo I have to watch.
