Hey. So it’s finally time for a new system. Had one from here 9 years ago now and it’s served me well but have not spent any time in the last 9 years keeping up to date with what’s what component wise.
Not going to go the 4k route but would definitely like a high end 1440p system ( open to suggestions on the monitor as well)
Games played range from shooters like Apex legends, strategy games like total war warhammer 3 and some simulation games like Planet zoo that gets played with my kids. Ever bothered with anything more modern as I know the pc won’t handle it too well. Would like to have a pc that easily runs the new dragon age game and warhammer 40k space marine 2.
Budget of around 3k. Historically had intel processors but would like to go amd this time. ( seen posts about waiting for the ryzen 7 9800x3d)
Thanks for your time and advice!
