@UnbeltedSolid76 I looked at a few different U.K. sites, and for your budget and what you want out of the computer, I think your best bet is a custom build. I played around with a couple of those sites, and for £698 (including VAT), you can get:
- an AMD Ryzen 2600 processor
- liquid cooling for the processor, so you don't have to worry about overheating
- 16 GB RAM
- an AMD Radeon RX 580 graphics card
- a 500 GB solid state drive
- an upgraded power supply
This system will always run TS4 on the highest graphics settings. In fact, it's a bit more than you need: both the processor and RAM are well over requirements. But they'll help with multitasking now, and futureproof your computer a bit as well, so you can put off buying the next one. This system is also upgradable, if and when you want to add something.
If you can spend a bit more money, I'd recommend getting a better motherboard, for £22. The default one is fine now, but the next higher version would make upgrading the system easier. You could also add a 1 TB secondary hard drive for £34, but the way you described your plans for this computer, you won't need the extra storage. Besides, hard drives are cheap and easy to install, so you could add one later if you wanted.
If you have any questions about the specs, or anything else for that matter, please feel free to ask.
