Hi, I'm looking for some help with my build, trying to keep under £1,500.
I want to use this for gaming and work. The intention is to have two monitors, and be running Microsoft office applications as well as games (no high end FPS though), perhaps simultaneously.
This is why I think 32gb RAM.
I have 2 x monitors already.
Small is important, cool and quiet is secondary priority.
I would like to know if this will run 1440p, as I will upgrade this in a year or so - will I just need monitors or also have to step up the GPU?
Storage I will also add to in the next few months, so I figure start with the essential SSD only.
This is what I have:
