£1800 First Time PC Build for AAA Gaming at 4K & Games Design

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

• Gaming, mostly. AAA games (ie. Witcher 3, GTA V, Just Cause 3) at 1080p60fps, at least. I also want 4K capability for when I eventually buy a 4K monitor or TV (again, at least 60fps). I'll also be using it a lot for Photoshop, Unreal Engine 4, Maya, Zbrush and more pretty intensive programs for uni.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

• Maximum: £1800 (with wiggle room of £200 if absolutely necessary)

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

• Probably within a week.

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

• Tower, OS and mouse.

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

• England, UK. Near Manchester if that matters at all.

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

• Monitor: Samsung Curved 27" OLED KB: Corsair K95 RGB HDD: (I think it's Seagate) 3TB

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

• Not sure. Whatever means I'll easily hit those specs listed above. (4K60fps)

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

• I really want a ~500GB M.2 NVMe SSD in there for my highly used programs and games (and the OS, obviously). I like the look of this one but am open to other suggestions too as I'm not even sure of the difference between EVO and PRO :)

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

• Nope.

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

• Yes, but I'd be happy with one of those one-time use Windows codes to cut down the cost. Windows 8/8.1/10 are all good for me.

Extra info or particulars:

• I'd like this to be my GPU unless you can advise me otherwise with good reason. I like Shadowplay and all the GeForce Experience stuff built in.

Feel free to ask me questions about parts and other stuff to do with this either in comments or PMs.

Thanks in advance!
