[SOLVED] Building a 1080 gaming pc (build advise)

[verdant22]

Edited*

Hey guys,

Another 'help me build my pc' but cheers in advance. Would appreciate any comments on better components or cheaper options for similar performance. Ideally, I'd like this build to last 3-5 years in terms of handling AAA games at 1080 for the investment of building a pc. Other than some minor video editing, the build would just be for other social uses (e.g. youtube etc).

Location: England

Parts Preferences: No preference

Overclocking: No

SLI or Crossfire: No

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

Additional Comments: Just wanting a pc that will last a few years in terms of being quick and being able to handle AAA titles for the next few years.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Getting back into gaming, updating my pc which I built in 2013.

I would spend a little extra for a 4000D airflow. I would also spend a bit less, and get the Gigabyte Z690 UD4, or MSI Pro Z690 A. Both boards offer similar performance, but have more features/connections. FYI, you forgot to add a PSU.

For slightly more money overall, you can also get a faster Crucial P5 plus drive.
