Advice sought on this spec

[MacNala]

I have 2 earlier PCs running Windows 10 from PCSPECIALIST. I need to add a new machine to support a change to Windows 11.
I find the options to configure a new PC too complicated. I do not understand the options I could choose in almost every area of specification.
I think I need to change over to touch screen as well, which brings up the question of which Monitors have video and speakers. How do I specify Wi-Fi
and/or Bluetooth. SSD or NV Me drives. Which GPU the list goes on and on, how do I get help?

My current machines have Intel i7-4930K @ 3.4 GHz, 32GB, Blu-ray DVD writer, multiple HDDs, NVIDIA GTX770 GPU, multiple Routers including 1 from ISP.

You might be better off using one of the pre-specified machines or certainly starting from there if starting from a base spec is overwhelming (too much choice etc.)

What are you wanting to do with the PC? There's several questions in the link that @SpyderTracks posted above which will be very helpful to allow someone else to take you through specifying a PC if thats more appropriate.

Thanks for the replies. I will look again at the pre-built models and see if I can go from there.
As to what I want it for is difficult as my situation has recently changed a better idea could be from my current usage.
I monitor my solar PV system using Excel, I watch a lot of YouTube videos, I want to resurrect my interest in flight simulators, I play a lot of Go,
Does that give you enough to help me choose which pre-built system to start from?
I do not use any social media platforms.

If you can go through the linked thread and answer the questions?

Any thoughts on this spec which took me forever to create, the options were so many.
I will initially be reusing my existing monitor and looking for a replacement with webcam and speakers, keyboard, mouse and headset from Logitech.

You've already got a thread open here: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/configure-too-complicated.99787/#post-762198

And you were asked for details without which we can't offer any feedback, suggest you go back through the link and take your time to ingest it before responding further

I would also suggest taking a look at this thread and staying away from Intel for any reason.

Intel 13th and 14th Gen confirmed defective

So there's been a lot of upset gathering steam on the inter webs with intermittent games crashes on Intel 13th and 14th gen. Workarounds range from underclocking to disabling ecores. BUT, there are a lot of people finding that simply disabling hyperthreading is a proper solution. The findings...

@MacNala I have merged your two threads are they are basically asking the same thing.
If you have check on the linked threads so you know what you need to answer then people will be able to help you, if you don't its very tricky to really help as there are so so many different options all for different uses - have also removed some duplicated comments since the threads were merged to to help clear it a bit
