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?
