PC Advice

[youngy84]

Good morning, would somebody please be able to offer me some advice on a gaming PC?

I brought a recoil 2 from here a few years back but I now have the space to upgrade to a full PC.

I have a budget of around £2000 (Including monitor if possible) I play a lot of Escape From Tarkov, Age of Empires 2, Total war etc, but would like something to stand the test of time... I have not got a clue what I need... 16gig ram? 32 gig ram? what processor?

Could somebody please help?

Thank you!

That is fantastic thank you so much, I can go a little over budget if it means future proofing, may I ask a question? Is there a huge difference between AMD and Intel? I hear a lot of people going for AMD these days? I also thought Intel was the cream of the crop lets say!

Thanks for taking the time to spec that for me!

You're welcome

Intel was always the dominant force in the market...however, in the last 5-10 years, AMD have upped their game and now pretty much dominate in every area. Have a read of this thread to give you some idea:

AMD Vs Intel

So some of you aren't aware of the reasons why so many people are heading away from Intel to AMD, so thought it would be important to lay that out for people to refer back to. A lot of you will go to cpubenchmark or userbenchmark to find performance metrics for CPU's. These sites are complete...

Hi all, I didn't want to create another topic, maybe I can use this one. I have two questions about the order.

1. All updateds and drivers are installed? (I paid for new windows too)
2. Is it possible to receive some boxes too? I already changed countries so many times and it's easier to pack everything and send it. As well, it looks better if I like to sell some components when it will be time to upgrade something.

Yes, but they will be current at the time Windows was installed. When you receive it you must run Windows Update to install the very latest updates or drivers.

2. Is it possible to receive some boxes too? I already changed countries so many times and it's easier to pack everything and send it. As well, it looks better if I like to sell some components when it will be time to upgrade something.

No. PCS do not ship component boxes. They do ship everything that was included inside and which they didn't use, but not the boxes.
