For a £3k dream build, my recommendation would be to hold off just a little longer. We're getting new AMD CPUs on the 27th, and new Nvidia and AMD GPUs before Christmas, with the 4000 series release dates likely getting revealed tonight. When spending this sort of money in the aim of getting top end performance waiting a little longer would be my recommendation, in the same way I would never have recommended someone buying a PS4 a month prior to the PS5 release.

Ok thanks, didn't realise the AMD release was so close. My monitor isnt due until November so Ive got time to wait, just getting getting itchy fingers.
