Morning all,
To cut a long story short I get a discount at HP through work so thought I'd save a few quid and order a system through them, it will probably come as no surprise that this was returned within the first two weeks so now I'm doing what I should have done from the start and ordering with PCS.
Budget: Around £2500
Use: Pure gaming with the occasional web browsing and office documents. Games will be MS Flight Sim, Total War series and Triple A games such as Cyberpunk, The Outer Worlds e.t.c
Monitor: 32" Samsung G7 1440p 240Hz
Case
CORSAIR iCUE 5000X RGB MID TOWER GAMING CASE
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D Eight Core CPU (3.4GHz-4.5GHz/100MB CACHE/AM4) - Gone with the 3D for the gaming advantages
Motherboard
ASUS® TUF GAMING B550-PLUS (DDR4, USB 3.2, 6Gb/s) - ARGB Ready! - Does this suffice or should it be one of the x570 boards?
Memory (RAM)
32GB Corsair VENGEANCE RGB PRO DDR4 3600MHz (2 x 16GB) - 32GB due to Flight Sim
Graphics Card
10GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 - HDMI, DP, LHR - I've read the threads on how the 3080 is overkill at 1440p but I thought it would help with Flight Sim and won't be restricted by the monitor I have, I also have the budget for it
