Solid build as we would expect. One thing I would check with PCS is that the 4000X only supports a 360mm radiator on the front, with the roof only supporting 280mm. If you’re happy with a front mounted rad you’re golden, but you could also consider going for a H115 on the roof, and checking that...

Monitor wise, firstly assuming that you’re looking to game on a standard resolution 16:9 4k 144+hz gaming monitor. At your entry level, you can grab something like this LG display for £599. If you want to go high end the Samsung Neo G7 has my vote of confidence. It’s pricier at £1099, but that...

This is where I would land you. The AMD 7000X3D chips are coming out in February which should retake the gaming CPU crown, but even with a 4090 you will almost always be GPU bottlenecked at 4K anyway. Case CORSAIR iCUE 5000X RGB MID TOWER GAMING CASE Bit roomier than the TD500, to fit in and...

What’s your budget? What are you using the PC for? Are you planning on getting a new monitor, if not you can literally get a GPU that will perform the same on the monitor for less than half the price of a 4090!

Solid monitor choice, LG make solid displays, and it'll let you get your money's worth from the 4080. Made a few suggested changes below. Switched in the 5000X for reasons mentioned above, think it's like £5 difference factoring in the removal of the Thermaltake fans. Changed your primary drive...

Very nice budget here, just want to check that you've got the monitor to match it. The 4080 is a monster of a card, and it absolutely needs a 4k monitor to make the most of it. I understand wanting to get the latest tech, especially when you're fortunate enough to have a budget like this, but...

I would like to be entered into the Doom Eternal deathmatch. I come armed with my trusty prune taser to send the competing variants to the shadow realm.

Hi there, Sorry we missed this. Made a few changes below. I wouldn't go for that monitor choice as it's an old TN panel, I would recommend something like the Gigabyte G27Q, which is a solid IPS display. Case COOLERMASTER MASTERBOX TD500 MESH ARGB GAMING CASE Solid case, can opt for the 5000X...

Not looking great for the 4070ti. Let's see how much these cost on the configurator tomorrow.

Haven’t had third party reviews for the non K chips yet, so wouldn’t be able to shed much info. In the 12th gen Intel we did have quite a performance drop from the 12700 and 12700k. The 13600k is a very solid all round CPU anyway, so you won’t be missing out much by sticking with it. Looking...

As long as she didn't change any other components the PC will be fine and a gaming behemoth. It will blow your £2500 budget though as the 4080 is quite a bit pricier...

Pretty solid build, only made a few adjustments: Case HYTE Y60 MID-TOWER PANORAMIC CASE Took out the extra fan kit. If you want lots of RGB the 5000X is back in stock and would be my pick. Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i7 16-Core Processor i7-13700K (3.4GHz) 36MB Cache Motherboard ASUS® TUF...

For productivity workloads case choice matters more so than for gaming systems. You’re going to be putting your components towards their upper limits for long periods of time, as such you’re looking at a larger thermal output, and you need to have a good airflow case to look after your...

Your GPU is still going to be bottlenecked by your monitor, there’s no point in having a GPU that can put out more frames than your monitor can display. It’s your money, keep it in if you want, but if you’re sticking to a budget don’t short change other components to keep this GPU in. Your...

I also wouldn’t recommend the 3080 with your build, unless you’re happy to blow your old budget. You’ve got a strong, well balanced build specced above for 1440p gaming and streaming. The 3080 is a 4K card and will be bottlenecked by your monitor in a large number of games that you will play...

Looks like you're missing your build there! I would recommend giving this a read. It includes a lot of pointers to help you make an informed choice, and also outlines what information we need from you to help give you advice, and how to post your spec to the...

Agree with Martin and Spyder. Any GPU above the 3080 is heading into significantly diminishing returns.

You can if you want, although with the 3 front fans plus the 2 from the AIO you'll have ample airflow and cooling for your build. Easy enough to buy from Amazon or the Corsair website if you do want to go down that road.

Case CORSAIR iCUE 5000X RGB MID TOWER GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 7700X Eight Core CPU (4.5GHz-5.4GHz/40MB CACHE/AM5) If sticking with an AM5, the 7700X is ample for gaming. The 7950X is more geared towards productivity builds. This means you can save a good chunk of change factoring...
