But on the other hand all of these will launch with the top tier components first. A 12400 and RX 6600 equivalent is likely to be at least six months away. For a top-end system, I'd hold off. For a low mid tier system, I wouldn't expect anything better soon, certainly not this year.

Normally it's the xx90, xx80 and xx70 to be released in the first wave.

Current rumours are end of October / beginning of November release for the 4070 which will be the last of the first batch with 4090 first, then 4080, then 4070.

For £1500 budget though, I'd be factoring in a very healthy 4070 build.

Ok, so I've wobbled my head a bit to have a think. I've read up about the up coming hardware (I used to be up to date back in the XP days) and the views seem a little conflicted. Some say it's coming soon, some say the specs I want could be up to a year off!

It seems like a gamble, nobody honestly knows.

I respect your view 'SpyderTracks', and you may well be right, but I think this build is a massive upgrade for me and I'm going to go with it - plus my daughter will still get a lot out of the old battle axe GTX 1060.

Thanks for all the help and info,

Cheers.
