Let me know if there's anything you would change, I need a new PC now so waiting for GPU prices to stabilise is not an option unfortunately. I'm aiming for something that can handle the newest games at 1440p on max settings at >60fps and also ray tracing at around 60fps with DLSS. Any opinions are greatly appreciated

Hi there! There's a few adjustments to this build we could make. First of all, What's your budget? What refresh rate is the 1440p monitor you have/ are looking at? And will it be used for anything other than gaming?

Also, are you aware of the wait that comes behind a 3070 at the moment? Due to high demand and low supply PCS is running a queue based system for all of the popular cards right now which means you'll be waiting a while for a 3070. We can't give you a 100% accurate wait time but I reckon somewhere in the reigon of 1-2.5 months is probably about right at a guess. PCS might be able to give you a more accurate answer but even for them there's no real way of telling with varying deliveries and numbers of orders at any one point.

My budget was £1300 but then etherium prices surged lol so I'm already stretching hard. Not sure what monitor I'll get yet but I'm not looking for crazy FPS, 60 is fine and 100 is great. I'll be using it for uni work too but none of that is particularly intensive compared to gaming.

I know about the long wait times, I can wait a couple of months I'd just like to get into the queue now. I've been trying to buy a 3070 for about a month now and can't compete with the bots so this is my best bet.

Thanks for your help.
