Hi, Been a while since i built a pc at least 5 years.

I am wanting to build the best gaming experience pc that my budget will allow.

I don’t mind if it’s Intel or the new Ryzen, as long as I get the best gaming experience.

I would prefer to stay at 1440p 144hz anything else is optional. My budget is £1500 +/- £150 but no more.

Please could you spec me a full system build I can buy and collect over the weekend.

Many thanks.

I like the build. Regarding the GPU! What would be the difference if I got the RTX 2070 super?

Would it be the same or would I be better off saving another weeks wage and getting the RTX 2080ti as i do have a 4K TV which I use for my ps pro and xbox x and it would be hooked up to both my TV for watching movies and some pc gaming while downstairs and monitor upstairs for main use.

Thanks

The 2070 super is better but then it should be as it's more expensive - have a look here for a comparison https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2512?vs=2516

You could swap the CPU out from his list and replace it with a 3600 which will save you £120 and then you could buy a better GPU with the money

I would stick with the 3700X because of the extra two cores. With the new consoles launching by the end of next year, games would benefit from having the two extra cores the 3700X provides over the 3600. I would also spend a few more pounds going for a Radeon 5700XT instead of the Vega 64.
