You said a 1440p GPU is about 500. 500 on top of my current budget is 2000.
Ekans also indicated that the minimum spend for a 1440p computer is 2000.
So I'm asking what does that £2000 system configuration look like?
Even if you just take Ekans configuration and suggest alternative GPUs, that...
That's part of what I'm asking, is can I build the system, use the 1440p monitor, and then I'll only have to upgrade the GPU in a few years, rather than both the GPU and monitor, but if I understand, the answer is 'no'.
What's the £2000 build for a 1440p system?
So when you say that it cannot handle that resolution, what exactly does that mean? It just won't work, or it just won't look as good as it should?
If it works but isn't optimal, I could purchase, and consider upgrading the GPU later, yeah?
If it just doesn't work, I'll narrow the search to...
1500 was the budget but Ekans said it wasn't feasible to include the monitor within that budget. So the montiors I'm considering will be on top of the 1500. (Although the suggested build by Ekans was closer to 1600).
Currently considering these monitors:

But will likely have to invest in speakers also.
I assume this doesn't really affect the build, since you said the best I could do within budget was entry 1080p
I got a gaming laptop from PC Specialist about 6 years ago. It's done me fantastically, but at this point, it's really starting to show the stress of 6 years of gaming, so I'm looking at upgrading to a desktop. The main games I play are Crusader Kings 3 and Age of Empires 4, but I also use it...
