Hi All,

I'm from the UK and looking at building a new PC. I currently play at 1440p at 180hz, and mainly play multiplayer games such as COD, Destiny, Rust, Tarkov with the occasional single player game.

Prior to Black Friday I was going to go with a 4070ti Super, however, with the sales the 7900XTX is only £30 more. Which option would be best for future proofing this build and are there any other parts that should be changed? £1,750 - £1,800 is my max budget.

Any feedback/suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

7900xtx has ~15-20% more performance. The 4070ti super is better if you need RTX performance, Nvidia encoder for streaming, or cuda for specific workstation tasks.

For pure gaming, 7900xtx
Thanks for your suggestion. I'll almost exclusively be gaming so for £30~ more the 7900xtx seems like the better option.

Currently both the 7800x3d and 9800x3d are out of stock until early Jan. Is there another CPU you'd recommend or should I wait until the 9800x3d are back in stock? My main concern would be potentially bottlenecking but If there's another CPU that wouldn't bottleneck the 7900xtx I'd open to it.
