Not a bad build, but definitely room for optimisation. What’s your budget? What are you going to be using the PC for?

Case CORSAIR iCUE 5000X RGB MID TOWER GAMING CASE Both the 5000D and 5000X are back in the configurator (yay!). This is a great airflow case with lots of RGB goodness; the 5000D is a good alternative if you’re not bothered about flashy lights. Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i5 14-Core Processor...

Do you have a monitor already? If so do you know the make and model, or the resolution and refresh rate? Can you specify uses besides gaming? E.g specific productivity applications such as photoshop, blender etc

Hi there, Not a bad first attempt, but there's definitely room for optimisation. I would highly recommend giving this a quick read as it will hopefully answer some of your questions: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/please-read-before-posting-collaboration-of-helpful-hints.77691/

Case CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE Much better airflow case. The spectrum has a nice aesthetic but not the best airflow. Can opt for the Lian Li 215 if you want a bit of RGB. Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Six Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.6GHz/35MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard ASUS® TUF...

Yep, the 3060ti is a really solid 1440p gaming card, and is also decent for productivity work without breaking the bank. You can definitely go for a less powerful (and expensive) cooler on the lower tier CPUs. The cooler you selected would be a good pairing with the Ryzen 5600 for example, and...

Equivalent Intel build. Case CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i5 14-Core Processor i5-13600K (3.5GHz) 24MB Cache Motherboard ASUS® TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI D4 (LGA1700, USB 3.2, PCIe 5.0) - ARGB Ready Memory (RAM) 32GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3200MHz...

Hi there, happy new year! Sorry this has slipped through the cracks. Can’t quite get it down to £1500 without sacrificing a few areas, but this is as close as I could get. You underspecced the PSU and cooler which are both very important and often overlooked components. Adding in a more...

The 5800X is really well priced at the moment. For some reason it's actually £64 cheaper than the 5700X which brings down the cost nicely.

Hi there, Not a bad attempt but there’s room for improvement. What’s your budget? What monitor are you pairing this with? Please can you add the config link to help us make edits more easily.

Both very true. Build above is based on the TV being 4k with true native 120hz refresh.

Pushing closer to 2100 than 2000 as you’ve under specced a couple of areas. Case CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i5 14-Core Processor i5-13600K (3.5GHz) 24MB Cache Cheaper than the 12700k, will have equal or greater gaming performance while still...

You can make amendments without affecting your queue position or incurring any extra charges up until your PC goes into the build stage. These are the changes I would recommend: Case COOLERMASTER MASTERBOX TD500 MESH ARGB GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i7 16-Core Processor i7-13700K...

https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/the-easy-way-to-post-your-specification-to-our-forums.618/ Is that £2000 with or without the GPU? Have you bought the monitor already?

It’s hard to really go wrong when spending this much, but can optimise this a little further. Do you know the model or refresh rate of the TV? If it’s 60hz we can save on our GPU, if it’s 120/144hz the 4090 will be getting utilised. Please could you include the configuration link so that we can...

So just to recap, we’re looking at around £1600 for PC + Monitor, for gaming and streaming (if we can fit it in the budget?).

The configurator is slightly flawed in that it accounts for AIO radiators being front mounted when they will usually be top mounted when possible, allowing for larger GPUs to fit. You shouldn’t have any issues fitting a 3080 into the 4000D. That being said, your spec listed above could be...

Monitor wise, it’s best to see what’s being discounted at the time of purchase, but generally at 1440p you’re looking at a flat IPS panel these days. They are widely regarded as the superior option these days and are much more affordable, no longer commanding a heavy premium over their curved...

Hi there, This isn't really my area of expertise but I can ask you some questions that can help point some of the other knowledgeable folks on the forum in the right direction towards speccing a build for you? What is your budget for the PC? What video editing programs will you be using? Will...
