New PC Build - £1500

[MegaMasher]

Its about time I build a new PC, still rocking my 6600K & 1060 which are on their last legs. Plan is to build a new system and not it touch for around 10 years again.

I've put together a build but would appreciate a review before I go ahead and order. PC will mostly be used for gaming @ 1440p, Path of Exile/Warframe & I want to be able to play new AAA games.

The budget has decent amount of wiggle room, absolute max is £2000, ideally around £1500-£1650. Thanks in advance.

You might be better off with the Phanteks AMP GH as depending on your config in the A3, it can be helpful to have a more compact PSU.

I'm really not seeing much wrong with that at all, as long as you've measured up it's a lot of good choices.

I'd consider a different PSU but it isn't a bad option by any means.

If it were me, given you have some wiggle room. I would swap out the 9070XT for a 5080, and maybe the 750W PSU for an 850W.

Thanks both. AMP GH it is then I just went with the be quiet because it was in stock. I'll see when the 750W is coming back into stock or just get the 850W version instead.

I don't see a 5080 as a good value purchase, if they were around £800 sure but not at current prices.
Found a Zotac for £910 on a that would need to be imported from the US through a certain rainforest website...no idea how reliable it is doing that

If it helps, there are tables on Lian Li's website that refer to the alternative configs, though they're not the easiest to decipher.

Fair enough. I don't see any higher end gaming PC components being good value.. but I still forked out for a 5080 & 5090 more fool me I guess.
