The second and the third are the best but look identical besides the case. However, you'll get a better PC at that price if you build it yourself.

There are countless videos online and we'll guide and direct you. I was 13 when I started customizing my PC, and this year I built my second PC and I'm only 14.

It's pretty simple and clean once you start learning each part, and after you build it you can say to all of your friends and family, "I built a computer."
 
its as easy as putting together a set of lego's. not only does it give you the confidence to build others in the future and also more pride that you have done it yourself but it gives you knowledge if anything decides to break. If you dont have a clue about a pc your stuck with taking it to the computer shop or someone else who does, spending money and time when it may be something like a dead RAM stick. it also saves money building it yourself as your not paying someone to do it for you.

there are many guides/videos on the internet going from start to finish on how to build a pc and they are very easy to follow step by step with every detail required.
 
Yeah, im 13, and i just finished fixing up my dad's pc with a new graphics card and power supply. It was really simple, only took me like 30 minutes. Going to order my own parts pretty soon.


And BTW: second one, is cheaper and is identical to the third, but if u only do light gaming, the first one is fine.
 
Thanks guys, I'm 13 and I've gotta do this by Christmas, I'll think about it and then decide, for the time being though, could anyone find another one around £850 with a monitor perfect for gaming :) You guys are great
 
Also, could anyone tell me what I would need to build a pc, just basics, or what I could get for £850 (Including Monitor)
 
For £850 you can build this:

If you don't need windows 8 you can change the graphics card to a Geforce GTX 970 which is better than the GTX 770.
 
speedx77x Thanks a bunch man, is this the maximum I could get out of my budget? I wanna change Windows 8 to Windows 7 just for prefernce.
 
Yea, just about you can change the case if you'd like though, just don't get something cheap.

However, if u could save up a bit more for a GTX 970 it would be worth it.

As for Windows, Windows 7 is already half a decade old and Windows 8 takes up less resources, but if you prefer Windows 7 then go for it.
 
Pretty much the above, thats the ideal build, although you may want to opt for a slightly better motherboard, and maybe an ssd, but cut back on the graphics card and processor a bit, again, it depends on what you are planning to do with it, heavy gaming or light, or anywhere in between, just name the games you play.
 
Thanks a lot guys, I've decided to go with speedx77x's PC, thanks a lot for the help. By the way, is speedx77x's idea compatible with everything he said?
