Check Spec - Ryzen 7 Build

[velvetsky01]

Hey

My current PCS build is around 7 years old now (intel 6700k) Its starting to show its age. I am either thinking of just upgrading my current PC or go for a PCS build.

I have an Nvidia 2070 Super OC Windforce GPU which I am happy to use going forward and upgrade when prices come down.

So the point of this build is to get the best gaming performance I can at around the £1500 mark.

The monitor I have is a Dell S2417DG (I think)

Many thanks

I'd be looking at this, a much stronger build on a more modern platform:

Case
FRACTAL FOCUS 2 ARGB GAMING CASE (BLACK) Bigger case with more graphics card compatibility
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Eight Core CPU (4.2GHz-5.0GHz/104MB w/3D V-CACHE/AM5) The best gaming CPU there is right now
Motherboard

Memory (RAM)
32GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 6000MHz (2 x 16GB) Fast DDR5 RAM

Also, you simply must upgrade that monitor at some point soon. You can do so much better than a 1080p TN panel! I'd be looking at a 1440p (maybe ultrawide?) IPS panel, which can be had for £275-350. That would go well with a graphics card like the 7800 XT or the 4070.
