For now I'm just aiming to game in 1440p with a decent fps. Probably going to use the Samsung g7.

 

[Gavras]

Yes it is a bit messed.

what is your total budget, what monitor your pairing with, size resolution

what do you use your PC for games or work stuff like CAD and rendering

if games what games and what quality setting do you expect.

also complete a build configuration as per link below.

Finally, it’s far better to go AMD.

please do an AMD build.

I assume you've already ordered? Is your PC in building yet or are you still in processing?

What is your budget? Is there any reason you choose an Intel CPU?

Ok. Let me try to do this properly.
This pc is purely for gaming. Ive never owned a.gaming pc hence my lack of knowledge. I'm on a budget of under 2k. I will be using the Samsung g7 for the first year or so with a possibility of getting a 4k monitor one day. Honestly I don't know what games yet but it will be mostly shooters and racing games.

I went with Intel because I thought it was good. If I'm wrong. I will change, I dot really want to spend this amount of money on the wrong parts. Thanks for the replies.

 

[Backers92]

Under 2k, and lts in pre-processing. I went with Intel because I thought they were good. If I'm wrong I will happily change.

Intel at the moment are at the bottom of a large hole.

AMD Vs Intel

So some of you aren't aware of the reasons why so many people are heading away from Intel to AMD, so thought it would be important to lay that out for people to refer back to. A lot of you will go to cpubenchmark or userbenchmark to find performance metrics for CPU's. These sites are complete...

www.pcspecialist.co.uk

Intel's manufacturing is broken and new Rocket Lake CPUs prove it

The next six months are make or break as Intel hurtles towards existential crisis.

www.pcgamer.com

What's been going wrong for Intel?

Here's a brief summary of the trials and tribulations of the original chipmaking giant.

www.pcgamer.com

Intel's CEO in waiting tells staff that the company must make better CPUs than Apple

Well, Gelsinger calls Apple 'a lifestyle company in Cupertino'.

www.pcgamer.com

those links above are worth a read through, I have used Intel For pretty much every PC since first intel PC in 80’s - 90’s, so not just fanboy type of thing.

if you do an AMD build and post the build configuration link.

it’s just a case of choosing AMD build, then hit proceed, post to forum, copy and paste the build (as you did above) AND then the actual link to the build.

Sadly, I think @Backers92 will need to cancel their current order and start again - I don't think you can swap between Intel and AMD once your order has been placed. However I fully concur that this is the best option.

Yep they need to cancel, it’s getting them in a place where they have a firm AMD build that when they cancel will take original orders place.

Also, they may wish to stick with Intel but change rest of build, M.2 and memory jump out.

Is this better ?

It’s better but can be tweaked.

it also shows you have some felixibility in your build.

the one @AgentCooper is great for you but limited to your £2 budget, if now it has some flex, it can be upped.

So the question is how much flex is in your budget?

 

[Backers92]

Sadly, I think @Backers92 will need to cancel their current order and start again - I don't think you can swap between Intel and AMD once your order has been placed. However I fully concur that this is the best option.

This is too much money to throw at the wrong product. If it needs canceling it's getting cancelled and I'll order the correct product based on advice from people who know more than I do.

If I sell my left leg I can go to under 2.3k...

 

[Gavras]

@Backers92 its things like case, storage configuration, motherboard, a more balanced build

This is where budget does come in to it, we mainly try for a balanced long life build rather than just aiming for a high cost single item.

 

[xKMet]

This is too much money to throw at the wrong product. If it needs canceling it's getting cancelled and I'll order the correct product based on advice from people who know more than I do.

I made the same mistake as you and ordered a badly spec'd Intel Build, it is possible to ring and 'migrate' to an AMD build whilst keeping the same order number as this is what i did after the helpful advice i got on here.

To do this you need to ring, if you email or use Live Chat, they tell you, you need to cancel. Not sure why they give conflicting info depending on your method of contact but give them a ring first. Unless you've just recently ordered then it may be easier to cancel. But migrating keeps your place in the queue for components.

 

[Gavras]

This is too much money to throw at the wrong product. If it needs canceling it's getting cancelled and I'll order the correct product based on advice from people who know more than I do.

Personally I would cancel.

My very first post back in July / August opened with AMD build as I realised Intel had issues.

 

[AgentCooper]

If you can flex that budget up to £2,300 as mentioned, this system is even better...

You would be looking at £2500 to do the 5900X properly. It's an over-the top choice for gaming though. It will definitely serve you well but it's a marginal upgrade in gaming performance compared to the 5600X.

It requires a lot of supporting hardware to keep it running optimum.

@Backers92 the last build by @AgentCooper is a good solid build.

and is good for a good number of years, bar the gfx card the rest is likely 7-10 years of gaming.

The PSU allows an increase in GFX in a few years time, realistically that is probably 2 releases of Nvidia.
