£1000 GAMING PC - I NEED ADVICE
Hey guys, I need advice and a list of parts for a gaming pc with a budget of £1000.
In this set-up I DO need, 16GBs of RAM, 1TB Hard-drive, 3 1080p Monitors & Windows 10.
I DO NOT need a mouse, keyboard, mouse mat, headphones or speakers.
Could someone please leave a list of parts to build a gaming PC with the above requirements for £1000.
I also want a good graphics card.
Hopefully a computer that will run Minecraft at atleast 200-300fps on high settings.
Thank you for any replies,
AgentSwampy

This isn't the topic of the post so I'm not going to answer.
The Z170 Krait supports up to 64GB DDR4
Not that you'll be needing more than 32GB anyway and most likely no more than 16GB
More RAM is only helpful if you actually need it, not like a faster CPU which would increase speed all the time

How would you go about building a gaming PC that can run any game on high settings without any lag and generally run fast, if there was no budget....?
Can't go wrong with a Samsung EVO SSD
There are also some HyperX SSDs out there that are supposedly good

Great, thank you, do you know any mother boards that will support 32gb ram if I ever want it upgraded in the future?

Leaving £250 to get 3 monitors and a case
Could be pretty tricky but I'd say it is doable if you look around for deals.
Would have added an SSD but you didn't specify that you wanted one. Also a £1000 budget is massively overkill for Minecraft, even with 3 monitors included.
I would have included a GTX 970 rather than 960 but I felt it was better to include a better CPU if you are primarily playing Minecraft and the 960 does fine for that and more games on respectable settings
If you do feel like you can't get 3 monitors for the budget then you can always build using Haswell since it is slightly cheaper or even use AMD but if you're doing that then wait a bit for them to release their new chips.

Hi thank you for this!
The computer won't be just for Minecraft, I am hoping to run Elder Scrolls from it also.
Also what would you recommend for an SSD if I wanted one?
