Spec me a gaming PC... (Updated 02/08/2016)

Perhaps i should save up some cash first before you make me wet with excitement over what i can do with my new kit i dont have yet.

But when i do I'll hit you guys up I'm sure. I've got an idea of my price range now at least. Hopefully prices drop more by that time and i can be elite just like you cool cats. #masterrace

In theory you could make an equivalent rig to a console for $400 or £300

Why would I do that when I already have a console that can produce console like graphics?  I want to go all in on PC so want something to outperform them at least.  So I think I'll save up for a while and get something decent.

And it would suck.

That your technical analysis?

There was this for $350 and it beats PS4 on GTA V

What I mean by that is that you dont need to save up for as long as you thought..

Would you not be better setting fans to push then?

Hi guys im a bit of a PC novice but can put a machine together with the help of my brother in law.
I'm looking to build a rig that can play all the sim racing games on the highest settings using triple screens, and an Oculas Rift. Assetto Corsa etc
My budget is around £700 just for the PC, can it be done for around this price point.

Does this include peripherals then no. Do you want to play on ultra? Then no. Can you tolerate lowering settings? Then maybe.
