Hello all.
Looking at either building a new system or buying a decent premade, what would people suggest to go for component wise?
There are a couple bits I can possibly use from my current system eg EVGA 1200w modular PSU, Case (Fractal Design XL2) unless it'd be better to upgrade them as well. I'd like it to be able to run 2 screens at same time, screen 1 would be for me gaming or doing work, while screen 2 would be for movie/stream playback while family is in room, then gaming for me when I'm on my own.
Overall looking for a sensible build for the budget, that'll run games at 4k with decent/high settings, I don't need it to be the top of the line, unless it needs to be (if that makes sense?). The games I generally play are older so hopefully not too demanding (Cities Skylines, GTA5, World of Tanks, World of Warcraft) although I am interested in a few newer games (Cities Skyline 2 (when it comes out), Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Jurassic World Evo 2, etc). The business use really isn't demanding at all, just banking and accounts work. Streaming is.....well streaming
I have no idea what are good parts these days as it's been well over 10 years since I was up to date on pc parts,
Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP
Budget Range: £2000 GBP
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Business use, watching videos/streams (netflix, twitch, prime etc)
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: All/whole system (maybe less PSU, Case and Fans)
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Any UK based
Location: Essex, England
Parts Preferences: No preference
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: Screen 1 (3840x1200), Screen 2 (3840x2160) both are 60hz screens
Additional Comments: Quiet, currently have a build in a Fractal XL2 with a total of 12 fans, that even sat next to I can't hear above the very slight sound of the AIO CPU cooler, so looking for same in noise level. No RGB or any other flashly stuff needed, pc will be tucked under my desk not on display. I have plenty of quiet 120mm fans knocking about.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My current system is over 10 years old, so it's about time, and I currently have the money to be able to do so
Thanks
