£3k PC Spec attached - any last minute recommendations? Many thanks in advance. Regards

[SpyderTracks]

Sure thing! I have asked PCS to kindly ask the person who will assembly our pc that they sign it!

How do I send you an update?

Just post a new topic in the “show off my spec” forum.

Or you can start a conversation with me if you click on my name and go to my profile.

There are defective units, but that's why the amazon return policy is so important.

Morning SpyderTracks!
I had a brief look at the Designer Monitors by BenQ as well.
But again, I am not an expert.
If you do recommend the Phillips one and most likely to go for that one, thanks.
Would that still work OK for basic games like Starcraft? Would it perform OK with other GPS games? I don't have any per se but just checking; don't have time to play games yet! Lol

The GPU wouldn’t be powerful enough to run most games at 4K without substantially reducing graphics settings.

It would be fine for StarCraft as I believe that won’t play in 4K anyway so you’d have to have it in windowed mode.

So does the graphics card need to be upgraded maybe?

If you want to play demanding 4k games yes. But that will add a lot to get a 2080ti which is what you'd want really...do you really plan to do that?

 

[tiemannandco]

Honestly no, already upped the spec so to improve the balance and performance but I would not want to up it even further to play games I don't even own..

So between the 43" flat £400ish vs 49" curved £800?

Here is the proposed layout..

What games might you actually play??

On my PS2 (I know, I know, still a PS2), I really enjoyed playing Black and Medal of Honour..

[SpyderTracks]

Which model is the 49” curved? Obviously that would likely be a better choice if you’re ok with the extra cash.

[tiemannandco]

No specific plans, just trying to future proof as much as possible but without costing the earth.. If it meant like a small tweak then yeah why not like we upped the CPU, the cooling and the case, but if this means spending another £300 plus probably not worth it.

Ultimately this PC needs to performe as a reliable work horse, and the 4k whistles can wait, already think we are doing the bells!

Totes not worth it then
