Question Computer Build

[DaveyB97]

Hi All,

Long time out the game.. not sure where to start these days.. so many more options. Currently running a i7 4690k and a 980ti on dual 1080p monitors so anything is pretty much an upgrade.

Looking to spend around £2000-£3000 on a full new computer build including two new monitors (1440p 165hz~) due to a monitor issue and age of the system in general and assuming current specs wouldn't enable a dual 1440p monitor at a high refresh rate.

Main use of the computer is for work purposes (development) and casual gaming such as League of Legends etc.. I do not play many AAA titles but would like the ability to.

Would you please send me some PC Part Picker suggestions?

How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice First off, respect where respect is due - this is an adaptation of the Animal's *How To Ask For New Build Advice* Sticky. I created this because there's a lot of posts nowadays asking for upgrade advice both on here and on the CPU forums, and I feel...

You never listed the exact programs you use so some things are still a mystery. You can get better advice by doing that.
No clue how much storage you need or if you would like the case lit up with RGB or anything so just a plain jane build with much more performance than you have. (no such thing as a i7 4690K that is a i5 the i7 is a 4790K)

Some benchmarks from the video card and CPU using the 4790K.

EDIT You can spend more and get more if you wish but a huge upgrade over what you have.
