Hi all! I am an avid gamer and looking to update my system. I'm wanting to upgrade my system to help make Cyberpunk 2077 look and play great. I play quite a bit of Overwatch and so want something that will be able to play Overwatch 2 competitively. I am quite keen on getting G-SYNC/FREESYNC and playing at 144fps on a 144hz monitor.
Approximate Purchase Date: Within 2 weeks.
Budget Range: ~£1000 before shipping.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes, I was looking at ACER PREDATOR XB253QGP as it comes with 144hz and G-SYNC. Please exclude cost of monitor from system price.
Parts to Upgrade: CPU, GPU, mobo, RAM, potentially SSD. My current power supply: Corsair Professional Gold 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Do you need to buy OS: Not sure (how do I check if I have an OEM license of Windows?). If I do please exclude this from cost.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Providers with quick delivery in the UK.
Location: London, United Kingdom.
Parts Preferences: None.
Overclocking: No.
SLI or Crossfire: No.
Your Monitor Resolution: Priority is refresh rate and G-SYNC. Preferenced 2560 x 1440, considering 4k if graphics card can handle it.
Additional Comments:
Potential reuse of case, PSU, Optical drive and storage. Not too sure about CPU cooler. Curreny system parts listed below.
I play a lot of Overwatch and will likely play a lot of Overwatch 2 upon release.
I mainly building now as I want to be ready for the release of Cyberpunk 2077.
The quality of the image matters a lot to me. I am planning to colour calibrate the monitor I get.
I would like a system and monitor that support GSync / FreeSync.
I would prefer a 144hz monitor.
I need WiFi and bluetooth (bluetooth for headphone connection).
If I can reuse old components I will, but if they will be a bottle neck I am happy to switch them out.
I would prefer a system that can support 4k gaming and VR, although this is a lesser desire than 144hz gameplay.
I'm not sure whether I should get a newer and bigger SSD.
I prefer a quiter system.
Quite keen on monitor recommedations.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading:
My system is outdated. I want a system that will make Cyberpunk 2077 look and feel great to play. I can't get a consistent 60fps on Overwatch anymore. My system doesn't play games like Destiny 2 smoothly. I want to build something that makes games look great,
with a secondary utility of being able to play games like Overwatch with a competitive edge.
