That platform is almost 4 years old, Intel are now the poor processors that you run a mile from.

What's your max budget?

What make and model monitor are you using?

What's the PC for?

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...

They used to be, things change, they've been dire now for a good 5 years, the latest 3 generations literally don't work at all and melt at the core, even when they do work they perform poorly, take double the power for that poor performance, are impossible to cool without a £200 cooler, and are unstable at the best of times anyway.

How much would it cost just for the 4K monitor?
Maybe able to go higher at £2800 without monitor.

It's not a gaming monitor, no, it's also an old IPS monitor so outdated tech.

I believe this AOC is the most affordable model available right now, costing slightly more than £700.

If @SpyderTracks gives his greenlight, of course. :)

AOC AGON Pro AG326UD review - a UHD QD OLED with “only” 165 Hz at a reasonable price, but is it any good? | igor´sLAB

Today is a premiere, because I’m testing the first AOC monitor – the AOC AGON Pro AG326UD. The AG326UD comes with a UHD 3840 x 2160p QD-OLED panel, which we are already familiar with.

Even though it's cheap, it's no slouch, AOC tend to hit very hard at a low price point, they've kept that up for years and are extremely competitive at the low end.
