Need help finalizing build!

[Jamie226]

Hi guys, I'm looking for any tips or ideas regarding this build.

What I need:
- Ideally sticking under £1,600
- Silky smooth gaming from AAA games now and into the future.

I will be upgrading my monitor at some point soon, my budget for that will be around £500 at the most, so any recommendations for something to pair with the build would also be helpful.

My focus is avoiding overspending for my needs whilst also having something that will last. (Maybe even some upgrade potential?)

Hi there. That build... is pretty much on point! Only two things of note I can see...

1) You don't actually need the liquid cooler with that CPU, it comes bundled with a good quality fan. I'd personally drop that and perhaps put the money towards a slightly sexier case like the iCue 465X.

2) Chrome is a spying, CPU sapping, RAM stealing little sod. If you really want a system to run optimally it's the worst browser in the world to have running in the background.

As for your monitor upgrade, I can firmly recommend the one below. I have it paired with a 3070 and it's superb

I scaled back a little bit on cooling but decided to stick to the same case since my tower tends to stay behind or under things!
Just placed the order, so excited!

Monitor will be a little further down the line but that's a great looking one, thanks for the help!
