My GTX Titan finally gave up the ghost a few weeks ago after six years of faithful service. The rest of the system is the same age so now seems like a good time to replace the whole lot.

I'm completely out of touch with current hardware so any advice would be much appreciated.

The budget is £1k. I *don't* need:
OS
Keyboard
Mouse
Monitor (unless this proves to be a severely limiting factor: its maximum resolution is 1920x1200)

I've had a look at the OcUK bundles. Would a system based around a 1660Ti be a good place to start?

Thanks in advance. :cool:

Thank you, @snips86x :)

Ideally I'm after a pre-built system (I know, I know. Sorry. :rolleyes:)

Thanks. That looks very promising. I didn't think I'd get an RTX 2060 for my budget. :eek:

Ryzen 3600 + MSI b450 tomahawk max + 16GB 3200 RAM. 1TB SSD close to the 100£ mark.
He's not building though :(
