Advice Wanted - Upgrading The Teenagers PC

[Vidar]

She's coming from my old 9900k system.

The case, fans, and PSU + monitor and peripherals are all sorted already.

She has an older but still.good 34" 1440p 144hz Ultrawide monitor and like games like GTAV, RDR2, Hogwarts Legacy etc. PSU is a 1200w Rog Thor. So plenty of headroom there. Fans are lian li infinity.

So, I need cpu, mobo, ram, nvme, possibly cpu cooler though have a spare she can use and a GPU. My budget is around £1,500. I'd prefer to come under that, but can stretch it if necessary. I'm also not adverse to buying BGRADE stuff. Oh and system will be atx.

So guys, what can you come.up with?

Ok.

I've gone with the fastest gaming CPU 9800x3d and a 9070xt but you can reduce price of the CPU by dropping to a 9700x or 9600x . Mobo on pre order like lots of stuff on Overclockers but many alternative options.

Peerless assassin's n one of the best cooler for the money

Going Nvidia the 5070ti is another £120 more.

Thank you mate, that looks pretty decent.

Get the royal pretor instead of the assassin. £10 more and comes with much better fans

Wouldn’t the design of this Case benefit from a 360 AIO in the top?

Unless the Case has all angles already preoccupied with fans already, thinking if the top is empty then going with an AIO fills the empty space and cools the CPU.

Something by Thermalright? Aqua Elite V3 - £43.90
