For an entry-level option that'll deliver 

Cyberpunk 2077 

and other top games this year, check out the Acer Nitro N50-600.

This desktop is powered by an Intel Core i5-9400F processor, which delivers a 2.9 GHz / 4.1 GHz clock speed. The 8 GB RAM is the minimum required and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4 GB graphics card is plenty as well.

For under £800, you could do much worse than this very serviceable gaming desktop.

If 8 GB doesn't do it for you, go one better and check out the Lenovo Legion T530. This runs on the same processor as the Acer machine above, but with 16 GB RAM to make sure you're never struggling to run those top releases.

The GeForce GTX 1650 4 GB GPU is also traded in for GTX 1660 Ti 6 GB card, so the extra couple hundred quid for this PC is not a bad investment at all.
