Good afternoon everyone,
Thank you for taking the time to read this thread and hopefully offer your advice.
I am finally getting a new gaming PC after saving for quite some time (limited funds and family = small amount able to be saved each month ) as my current rig is just... well ancient.
Current spec:
CPU - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz 3.07 GHz
RAM - 16gb of DDR3
SSD - 200GB
HD - 600GB
Motherboard - Sabertooth X58
GPU - GeForce RTX 2060
(somehow still managed to play Cyberpunk with the patch due to the CPU on low settings).
Approximate Purchase Date: Sept 2024
Budget Range: £2500 - £3000
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, general use
Are you buying a monitor: Yes / No (depends on the amount left over, though I am hoping to get a 4k (seen some for roughly £200
Parts to Upgrade: Everything
Do you need to buy OS: Yes - hoping to be included in the build
Location: Blackpool - United Kingdom
Parts Preferences: No preference, not very knowledgeable on hardware
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: (Don't know what this means)
Your Monitor Resolution: Currently - 1920x1080, I want the best quality I can afford.
Additional Comments:
I have a budget of roughly £2500 - £3000 and trying to get something that will run everything at high quality and have some future proof to it (pretty sure wont be able to do this again for a while).
My main issue is I have no idea about hardware, I have tried to do a bit a research and read that the AMD CPU are better for future proofing and generally a better for gaming (again, this is based on some reviews / benchmarks and subjective opinions.... again, not my own knowledge so... unsure).
Could anyone please recommend a good build for me (and location if possible), that has good future proof. I should have the funds within Sept 2024, but thought best to do prior research from people who actually know their stuff.
Also, I have located:
https://www.scan.co.uk/products/3xs...idia-geforce-rtx-4080-super-2tb-m2-ssd-win-11
This seems to fit my boxes (at least I think), I know its not 'the best' but still within the High Spec category (just worried I am missing something crucial).
Again Thank you very much for your time and assistance, really means a lot.
Matt
