Hi
In the past Ive asked for a spec for an all white PC

However I thought I would ask if somebody could spec me a PC with a budget of £5000

4K gaming capable
4K Video editing
HD Image editing

hopefully theres a CPU that can do the above with ease. Yes I would like a very powerful system that wont be out of date within 3 months (lol)

lots of cooling/fans. Dont ask me why but for some reason Ive got 96gig of RAM in my head for this system... and I dont know why

Thank you for your time
hopefully you guys can show me what 5K can get lol. cheers

*EDIT - Sorry, my mistake It can be any colour lol*

Absurd to spend that much on a PC, unless you're professional gamer and getting paid to do it.

Can get a good PC for half the price.

Also I wonder how much you're putting into the sound system.....£20 speakers? :cry:

Read OP :p

My buddy dropped about same on his system pretty easily, but I’ve spent more than that on a CPU and didn’t even get any haribo’s :( so can’t really talk.

Is it? £2500 potentially just for a 5090 £1800 brand new lowest.

Seems about the range £4000-5000 to get everything you need for the "best" experience, even if it is indeed poor value for your spend vs say a 9070xt which will offer 60% of the performance of a 5090 and will run most games at 4K 120-165Hz

Think my outlay comes to

£1050 (4K 240Hz OLED Monitor + 500Hz OLED Monitor)
£2489 Suprim 5090
£1200 Mobo/CPU/RAM/Case/Fans/AIO
£180 2 Mice - Superlight + MChose
£80 Mouse Glass Pad
£200 Desk
£100 Chair
£100 headset



= £5400 minimum as a guestimate and I still need to buy some decent speakers to finish it all off.

Could easily save £2500 there if you don't want two monitors and are happy with a 5070ti/9070xt but it's my work/entertainment hub and I use it for 90% of my free time :D I've also bought and tried 5080's/9070xt's during this time before finally settling on my final setup.

That's the price you pay if you want to be running max settings in a lot of titles at max refresh rates.

If you're not going all in like that for gaming on a 5090 then yeah you better be using it for other workloads or you can save anything from £1200-1900 on the GPU alone.

A dozen fans to keep a 5090 in check can easily set you back £350. Your better off with the 5090 suprim liquid for £2699 as you get the AIO and exhaust fan.

Yeah I tried an AIO earlier in the year also, but the heat that exhausts was next level out of my case, turned room into an oven, would be handy now :D

The heat output will be exactly the same for both versions. Both are 580 watts, one just has a little more performance and costs a little less.

Blimey, you really are willing to spend £5k on a pc!!!?...

It's reasonable depending on the use case and whether or not someone earns a living using one, if time was money and I needed a lot of threads or a high end GPU for rendering etc I'd have no problem putting down that much.

I certainly wouldn't as a hobbyist, but then everything is relative. That said, you do hit diminishing returns pretty quickly in that arena after the £2500-3000 mark in terms of actual (usable) performance uplift.
