We don’t know what your current PC is, so how do you expect us to make any comment on upgrades?

We don’t know what monitor or budget you’re working to, so how do you expect us to help you?

The £900 budget is insufficient for a decent, modern gaming PC, and the Samsung LT32E310EX is not appropriate for gaming.

Realistically, you'd need a much higher budget to get something decent; for that money, a console would be far superior.

You’d basically need double your budget just for the PC, let alone a suitable monitor

I think you’re misunderstanding, not a chance you can build a custom pc at that price, not even close.

If you want to upgrade your current pc, obviously we need to know what that is? But if it’s the one you bought in 2017, it’s too old now and needs replacing

ok entirely new build
recommedeed new monitor (32 inch) (one which can handle games such as a plague tale requiem)
would be alot easier if it could fit current PC dimentions: H: 37cm , W: 18 cm , D: 45cm otherwise I'd neeed to redesign my setup
usb ports: 3 back & 3 front
specs: able to play triple a games & last me a good few years (preferably upgradeable)
storage: 3 tb either as one or two storage devices
atm just trying to get an idea on price as i'm looking at few diffrent options for a new pc


p.s would this set up be any good? https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-am5-pc/ZYX5MNCmef/.s

What's the budget for the PC and the monitor? We can't advise anything without knowing how much you can/want pay!

I could go for £2k-2.5k for the whole package would obviously prefer it to be less like the specs i linked in my previous post if that would be suitable specs for the pc then a few hundred on a monitor i can upgrade to a 4k later when i saved some more money

New PC Build - Replacing old budget 2017 PC

Hi, I am looking to purchase a new PC which can handle AAA games in 2025 and have longevity for the future. After watching various build videos and starting from a PC specialist base AMD DDR5 build, I configured the following. This build costs £1700 and I am looking to stay close to this...
www.pcspecialist.co.uk www.pcspecialist.co.uk
both would need to be able to connect to internet via ethernet cable and where do i find the dimentions for the cases so i can see if I can figure a way to make it work with my set up my main concern with this is depth(from front to back)

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.

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
