£1000 upgrade

[Steve09]

Hi,

I'm looking to spend around £1000 on a PC upgrade. I've decided to keep my current monitor (Dell U2412M) for now, as I'm ok with playing games at 1920x1200/60hz. I've picked out the below parts and would like your thoughts on if they're a good choice, are there better options available, could there be any potential issues. It'd be running off a Superflower 750w 80 plus gold power supply.

CPU: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/amd-...hz-socket-am5-processor-retail-cp-3dw-am.html

Motherboard: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...t-am5-ddr5-atx-motherboard-mot-asu-02136.html

RAM: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...00c30-6000mhz-dual-channel-mem-crs-01125.html

Storage: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/wd-b...pcie-4.0-solid-state-drive-sto-wdc-02652.html

GPU: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/zota...-pci-express-graphics-card-gra-ztc-04529.html

Thanks for any help!

I'd probably take an AMD 9060XT 16GB over the 5070.

Could probably save £30 on the RAM and put it towards a 7600X3D


My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Corsair Vengeance 32GB (2X16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C36 6400MHz Dual Channel Kit (SKU: MEM-CRS-05114) = £79.99
• 1 x Corsair Vengeance EXPO/XMP 32GB (2X16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C36 6000MHz Dual Channel Kit (SKU: MEM-CRS-00996) = £79.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D Six Core 5.30GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: PRO-AMD-04829) = £290.00

Total: £457.97 (includes delivery: £7.99)​

If gaming at 1080P this will help a lot, plus X3D chips don't care too much about ram speed/latency, although for a 60hz panel I'm not sure if I'd bother.

I'd also be looking at B850 over B650, there's solid options for around the same price.

This is how I'd spend a grand personally, a 1920x1200/60hz 14 year old screen with no adaptive sync sounds like a miserable experience to me:

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Asrock Radeon RX 9060 XT Challenger OC 16GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-ASR-05280) = £314.99
• 1 x Corsair Vengeance 32GB EXPO (2X16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C30 6000MHz Dual Channel (SKU: MEM-CRS-02786) = £98.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 9600 Six Core 5.20GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: PRO-AMD-05398) = £199.99
• 1 x Gigabyte B850 GAMING X WIFI6E (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MOT-GIG-03858) = £174.99
• 1 x AOC 27" Q27G4XF 2560x1440 Fast IPS 180Hz 1ms A-Sync Widescreen Gaming Monitor (SKU: MON-AOC-03326) = £138.95
• 1 x WD Blue SN5000 1TB SSD NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 Solid State Drive (SKU: STO-WDC-02652) = £64.99

Total: £992.90 (includes delivery: £0.00)​

NB I've specced a 7600X because it's available for £145 elsewhere, bringing the total to £935 rather than £1000.
As already mentioned above, if you have the budget, get the 7600x3d.
If you want to buy from China, the 7800x3d can be had from £230 (but obvs without warranty).

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 7600X Six Core 5.30GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3DG-AM) = £209.99

• 1 x PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 PC5-51200C36 6000MHz Dual Channel Kit (SKU: MEM-PNY-04564) = £77.99
• 1 x Team Group MP44L 1TB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive (SKU: STO-TMG-03128) = £49.99
• 1 x Zotac GeForce RTX 5070 Solid OC 12GB GDDR7 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-ZTC-04529) = £494.99
