new/upgraded pc

[Ekans2011]

1)27 inch is a bit small for my liking is there any 32 inch ones would be good

For 1440p, the recommended size is 27''. Going higher may result in lower PPI, therefore I'd not suggest.
A 32'' display would be better with a 4K monitor, but you'll need a greater budget.

2) need to have at 3 usb on the back for my keyboard mouse & led light(or two with a monoitor havinga usb port)

ASUS TUF B850-PLUS has a total of 17 USB ports.

3) does this spec have a port to connect to internet via ethernet

Every MB includes an ethernet port; this ASUS has one Realtek 2.5Gb port.

thank you- most of the games i play on my pc arent that demanding I've included my games list below I was thinking it might be cheaper to get the xbox series x second hand for the triple a games along with a better monitor for gaming. whats a good specs for these games to would £1500 be enough with a similar amout ram if not i could go down to 16gb ram & 2 tb memory want to look at all my options to see what works best for me

So your real budget is £1500? What's the point of stating £2000-2500 if it's not the correct one?

Anyway, at £1500-1600, you can only get a 1080p system, and the maximum recommended monitor size is 24" to maintain an acceptable level of quality at such low resolution.

Not really just trying to see if it’d better value for money to go for a lower spec pc which can run the games I usually play on pc & get the Xbox series x for tripple a games or get better specs on the new pc so I can play those tripple a games on pc since I need to replace my old one anyway. I can’t afford to get the series x, a dedicated PC for gaming plus new monitor if I go for series x now I’d have to lower my budget for the new pc

Consoles and PCs are two fully different platforms that cannot and should not be compared.

Consoles are closed systems that cannot be upgraded or customised, and are designed to endure until the next generation is released.
PCs, on the other hand, are open systems that can be upgraded and customised, and, if correctly designed, can last more than twice as long as a console. Lowering specs on PCs will result in 0% upgrade capabilities, making the choice worthless, IMHO.

They are two opposing perspectives on video game experience.

As good as the Series X is, if the budget is there, I'd get the PC over a console. Buying a lower level 1080p system and a Series X is going to cost around the same...however, you end up gaming at a lower resolution on PC. Putting all the money into the PC gives you the 1440p system (1440p is much better than 1080p). I'd definitely go with the spec that was posted earlier in the thread by Ekans.

There are very few games that can't be played on PC so you wouldn't lose out (I only have one game that I strictly need a console for and that is Halo 5 Guardians as it was never released on PC). The only time I'd consider getting the console is if there are any games that aren't cross-platform that you have friends that play and you want to play with them...even then there aren't that many (racing games like the Crew games and TDU: Solar Crown are the only ones that come to mind).

As to the monitor question, 27" is the recommended for 1440p...however, 32" doesn't destroy the quality or anything. I used to play on a 32" screen and never noticed any issues with it..but I do sit 8 feet from my screen so it may be different up close

Yes, 1440p is still suitable up to 32'', resulting in approx 90PPI, the lowest limit before losing sharpness and immersion.
A 27-inch 1440p monitor has roughly 110PPI, which I believe provides the best overall gaming experience.
Of course, everything is dependent to the distance between your eyes and the monitor: if I sit at 8 feet (about 2.5 meters), I wouldn't see anything at all.

I'm pretty confident I can redesign my setup to work with the corsair case but in the event i can't is there any smaller cases which would fit with these specs or similar specs (for reference I've included a picture of how my current set up looks) p.s i may get the god of war(2018) and God of war raganarok although not likely would these specs work with thses game my current pc is (H:37cm ,W: 18cm , D: 45cm)

The smallest case PCS have is the Lian Li Lancool 205 mesh.....width seems to be the big issue and the Lian Li is only 205mm wide. Depth is less than your current one but it is quite a big higher than your current (48.5cm vs 37). You will find that a good percentage of gaming cases are tall.

Looking at that desk, if you were to cut out the bit of wood under the tower (and remove the shoes of course), you could sit the tower on the bottom....then use the cut out bit of wood to proprup the end of that shelf. That would give you the height needed...the only question would then be how much leeway there is for width

I’ve asked my shoes & they refuse to move 🤣
But seriously if needed I (well my dad) can build a new one entirely set up tailored to fit it all in though we should be able to make it work without that

the recommended one is stillout of stock assuming it still out of stock if & when decide to go ahead is there another better one you'd recommed for similar price(under £2300)

i was looking at the AMD RYZEN 9's what diffrence would a processor with higher/similar 'GHz' & more cores but lower cahce make? dont really understand the diffrence between the three

Whats the diffrence between having 2x16gb ram Vs 1 x32gb ram

For gaming, there isn't a better CPU than the 9800x3D...if you really can't wait for them to come back into stock, then go with the 7800x3D as that was the gaming king before the 9800 released.

Gaming-wise, any CPU without the 3D cache is going to perform worse. None of your games would benefit from a slightly higher frequency.

RAM is designed to work in pairs...a single stick will lose performance compared to a pair

Great thanks does AMD have an app to keep it's graphics drivers up to date like Nvidia does?
Not Sure what I'll do with my current PC when I get a new one I know someone who works with computers he wiped my previous PC when I got my current one(also from him) but he seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth

They do..it's AMD Adrenalin.

To wipe your PC when it comes the time, just download the Winodws installer from Microsoft and run that (and use the format everything option)...it will clean install Windows and delete your data off the computer. I did the same when i donated my PC to my nephew and he just needed to sign in to Windows to then set it up.
