Hi,

I'm looking to build a new PC and have a max budget of around £1,850, I'm planning on buying the parts and building it myself to save some money.

I currently play on a 1440p 165hz monitor and play a range of games from triple A games to games like CS2. I'd like to try and future proof this as much as I can.

Below is a current build I was thinking of, but I'm open to all feedback. I don't have any preferences on Intel/AMD/NVIDIA so all recommendations are greatly appreciated.

I'm from the UK and plan to buy the needed parts on Black Friday/Cyber Monday. Apologies in advance if I've made any mistakes in this build, any help is appreciated, thanks!

*UPDATED*
Thank you for your replies! I've been looking into buying the parts and underestimated quite how hard it would be to get hold of a 9800X3D. From what I've read online it seems like the earliest restock would be early 2025. Would a Ryzen 5 7600 be a good temporary CPU for this build? I'd then upgrade in 3-6 months time when the 9800X3D will be more available.

Build
CPU:AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz 8-Core Processor

CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Black 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler

Motherboard: ASRock X870 Pro RS WiFi ATX AM5 Motherboard

Memory G.Skill Flare X5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL32 Memory

Storage: Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive

Video Card: Zotac GAMING SOLID OC GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16 GB Video Card

Case: be quiet! Pure Base 500DX ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply: Corsair RM850e (2023) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

I wouldn't touch anything personally, this will deliver 165fps 1440p in FPS games for a lot of years to come, an tbh, AAA titles are not even expected to be played above 100fps, so you can crack up the graphics a bit if you want :).

Hi All,

Thank you for your replies! I've been looking into buying the parts and underestimated quite how hard it would be to get hold of a 9800X3D. Would a 7800X3D be a good substitute? I'd be saving around £60~

From what I've read online it seems like the earliest restock would be early 2025, would it be wiser to wait until then rather than switch for a 7800X3D?

I would look at DDR5-6000 CL30. If you're looking to cut the cost down a bit the difference between the 9800x3D and 7800x3D is less than 5 fps at 1440 not to mention the 7800x3D runs cooler.

Thanks for your suggestions, saving money on a few parts will definitely help. I noticed you changed the GPU from Zotac to MSI. Apologies if this is a stupid question but would there be a difference between them or is more of a preference on brands?

Hi All, thanks for all the help so far. After checking the sales I've found a AMD 7900XTX for £60 more than the cheapest 4070ti Super, would this be a better card for long term future proofing the build?

Also, would 850 be sufficient for this card or would a need a higher power GPU?

The 7900 XTX will get you a significant more FPS. I would look at a 1000W psu for that card.
