then theres B450 with 3700x option etc - more mind mess!True - and as you've mentioned previously the 9700K would hold up for many years. And, yes, spec me threads are difficult at the moment - i've written/listed a couple out but know it's confusing for OP if they have no idea on component parts. (But suggest you avoid this topic area - i want to see your@Plec least theirs choice- but with OCUK 9700K prices just being silly! even a HIGH STREET SHOP is doing it cheaper... really...
think with a 2080ti i'd be ingame rendering at 4k
)
Orbi, this was a clean, wholesome family-friendly thread (ignoring @tamzzy'simpotememory problems) - and then in you come with your blue bag of confusion
@tamzzy - do you think @PhilipOmnis's head would pop if i @'ed ESAT right now? ^^^
He did - and it's pure Orbi MORE power

many ways to skin a cat, so to speak
don't know how i feel about 9700k, it's 8 cores with no hyperthreading, whereas the 3700x is 8 cores WITH hyperthreading. yes 9700k is great if you're chasing down every last FPS for the system, but i suspect 3700x would age better.
you don't need to spend that much tbh. £2500 on a whole system (ie inc peripherals etc) is more than sufficient. what you'll see is actually less bang for buck as you climb the performance tree.

yes, 2080 ti is an animal ! 2080 super needed to be more powerful and should have been a cut down 2080ti chip, not full 2080 chip as there is still a good jump between the two !
but... it still could happen if AMD makes a break for 2080/2080ti performance next year.
JUST DONT FORGET TO REGISTER 4 YR WARRANTY (extra UK year with Gaming OC)
turbo card... will drive you nuts ! unless you water cool it!!!! or slap on AIO GPU kit !
should have been 2.5 slot and wider width

no rights or wrongs with this one. only speculation.
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUT, if we're heading that way, @orbitalwalsh might as well just spec the 9900k lol

it's probably more value if you buy a decent system now (ie not top end), and upgrade in in a few years time
I need more 2Tb drives (but not at present prices) and you RGB'd me!!! (And a 2070Super will sufficewhat @Plec runs...

)Agree with this on the whole - we will spend your money (Well, Orbi will spend that and more) - but without that screen spec we could be doing you a disservice (i.e. over speccing/spending). Especially, as we could be looking to save money in areas (that PSU) to get you a more immersive experience with a better panel (still doesn't have to be 4k).

Do you have an example panel size that you're thinking of - 27", 32" ULTRA wide - you may be restricted in size due to space which again may regulate/structure of the spec.
well it's only a tweak on what i've previously suggested.
so not really a full "new" spec per secorrect i've specced a 2tb ssd precisely because the 1tb version is out of stock (and also more expensive - at ocuk)

depends on how you see it, some people like to segregate their data, some won't.
1 drive = all data lost if it fails
2 drives = half data lost if it fails, but double the chance of failure since there's 2 drives involved
(but as always, backup, backup, backup)
so much of a muchness really.
i guess also with 2 drives, one can run RAID, but not really needed for your usage scenario.
the corsair mp510 is an nvme m.2 ssd
@Plec will defintiely take you up on that offer lol
Yep, but even i would struggle with pints of single malt - but if needs must...
@orbitalwalsh, there will come a time when you will achieve the Gigabyte Grand Slam
If I was starting afresh - with your budget of ~£2500+ my essentials would be:
Get the 2080 (that was an example of my list) - you have the funds and there really is no right or wrong with your budget, plus it's a faster card.
You're getting there - you'll slowly get a feel for what it is that you want and need. You're head will slowly unscramble the components and their relative worth - you're getting there i can tell from your more recent pots.
IPS has better colour definition and has the benefits of VA with the speed/response of TN - it's the best panel if budget allows.
That's our primary goal.Also for the record I feel utterly bamboozled.
