Nothing fundamentally wrong with the specs but always comes down to cost and are there better options.

If you are going for an AM4 gaming pc then you are better off getting 5800X 3D rather than the 5900x. Mobo is ok but the ram says 1x32 ? If that means you are going to have 1 stick of 32gb of ram and not 2x16gb then it will destroy performance by only being single channel. GPU is ok for price , all newly released gpus are over priced so no good options. Storage is ok but dont know prices. PSU is not the best of corsairs range. AIO is expensive but looks nice.

Obviously I can work out it is a prebuilt and where it is from , dont say it is against forum rules, but you can say how much it is going to cost and then see if OCUK can do a better deal with their prebuilts.

The choices you have are.

1- Stick with AM4 and if you do I would suggest 5800X 3D is better option than 5900x
2- Go Intel 13th gen , 13600k 13700k would be very good system and can go for DDR5 with those. May come to more money.
3- Go for AM5 , 7600 is just out and gives great performance at low power. Also 7700x and soon to be 7800X 3D which could be the best gaming cpu for next year but best to wait for reviews.

I would strongly suggest you wait for reviews of 7800X 3D before you buy the above system.

Things you can tell us to help is cost of above system and what res and refresh rate your monitor is.

You did not let us know the resolution. Is it 1080p 1440p 3440x1440, 4K. Obviously it is a high refresh rate monitor so you want high fps but knowing the resolution is more important than refresh rate.

Would also be good to know what games you play. If a bit of everything that is fine but if you play Warzone 2 24/7 then AMD have a clear advantage, if it is Cyberpunk with RT then Nv has clear advantage.


The builds above by Tetras are good so you can see it is a minefield of choices if you are able to self build.

Sorry it is 3440x1440 and I’ll be playing cod, rust, destiny 2, the cycle frontier, mc and generally games like that

Total: £2,586.83 (includes delivery: £14.10)​

This is similar to the AM5 build Tetras did above but as you can see it is at least £200 more expensive even if you left out Win11. All quality components so nothing to worry about there.

Thanks for the recommendation

Hi could you make one with a budget around £2000 that’s still good if don’t mind

Yes we can make up a prebuild with a budget of £2000 that would be "good" but good is a subjective term and it is not possible to make a prebuild with the OCUK configurators and still have a 4070ti in it. GPU is most important part of a gaming PC and whilst the 4070ti is overpriced (imho) it is still the cheapest of the so far released new generation of gpus from NV and AMD.

So if I say 2500 is that okay?
 
If you took this build and removed Win11 , you caninstal that yourself for less money it would come to under that budget.

You could also remove one of the SSDs , I am not sure what your storage requirements are but the original build you posted has 1tb M.2 drive and 2 TB HDD. I personally will never use traditional spinning disc HDDs again but I know some people still do for mass storage needs.
