FPS -- Are we talking Frames Per Second or First Person Shooter here?

Apologies for posting again, but I'm still hoping to get some further feedback on the questions I've asked in my last few posts above. I think my biggest problem in choosing my spec is trying to balance performance, cooling needs, and noise. Most of the time, my CPU/GPU needs are low. Does...

Did you consider the 7950X3D CPU? Or does the extra £82 overstretch your budget?

I don't seem to have had any feedback on my last Ryzen spec suggestion and I'd really appreciate getting some, as well as input on the questions I've raised above. In the meantime, PCS are now saying that their supplies of Ryzen 9 7950X CPUs have run out and they won't have more until the end...

UGH!!! But I'm surprised that the PCS configurator still is showing an ETA of 22/Dec. I guess they're just behind in updating. Back to the drawing board.

I've made one adjustment to my Ryzen spec... to drop the GT 730 and push the boat out with the 12GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3060. I'm not convinced I need that much graphics processing power, but if this PC lasts as long as the previous one it'll add only a few £/year. Other questions... The ones...

The obvious difference is read/write speed, with the P44 being faster than the P41+. Whether you'll notice that difference will depend on what the second SSD is used for. If it's just for storing data for occasional access, you probably wouldn't notice the difference. If it's being used for...

Here's a Ryzen alternative for your consideration... The only differences between it and the Intel spec are the CPU and M'board, and the resulting cost is very similar. I've tried to compare the B650 AORUS ELITE AX and the X670 AORUS ELITE AX and can't see any significant difference between...

Here's my updated quote. Changes made... Upgraded 1st SSD (+£77) Added 2nd SSD (+£149) Upgraded cooling (+£13) Want to upgrade cooling further, to FrostFlow 200, but out-of-stock and can't save that quote. I did not upgrade the PSU. I'll consider upgrading the graphics card later, but if...

Thanks for the additional input. Firstly, I realise I've never actually addressed the issue of my budget. I don't really have one, other than to say I don't want to spend an excessive amount towards high-end components that I'll not notice any significant benefit from considering the way I use...

@sck451: Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post. The PC is used for a little of everything -- word processing, spreadsheets, internet browsing, desktop publishing, graphic design, etc., etc. Where the old PC struggles most noticeably seems to be when Excel has a number of...

I need to replace my old PCS desktop, and I think I'm happy with the specs below, but I'd appreciate it if you, with more experience than I, could let me know what you think. It's a workstation PC. I don't do any gaming. My current monitor is a 24" 1920x1200 Dell Ultrasharp with a VGA connector...
