Hey all,

Been out of the game for years but I’m thinking of building a new machine primarily for gaming, budget around £1400, any advice would be great thank you!

No monitor, keyboard/mouse or OS required!

That looks awesome thank you! Is there anything above the 7600 that’s worth increasing the budget a little bit for or will that be fairly future proof for a while?
If you don't need the multicore performance, then the only thing worth upgrading the 7600 for, is either the 7800x3d or a 9800x3d, both of which are more than double the cost.
If it were me, i would get everything new except the 7600 and try to snag one used from the bay or MM, which is exactly what i did (7600 -> 7800x3d)
that way you don't eat the depreciation cost. I bought my 7600 for £140 and sold it on for exactly £140 when i got my 7800x3d lol

If you don't mind getting a CPU without any warranty then the 7700 is available from china for a lot cheaper too
but as above, if you don't need the multicore, then it's only ever so slightly faster than the 7600 in gaming workloads

That’s great thank you, I’ll see if there’s any cheap 7800x3d going about first
 
tamzzy's spec is better than this, but just to show you can have ATX and/or a 5070 Ti.

My basket at OcUK:

Total: £1,402.82 (includes delivery: £11.98)​

You could have a look at the new 9600 (cooler included) or the 9600X, in some games/workloads they do show an uplift versus the 7600, but for the most part you won't notice.
 
Thank you, would you say the 5070ti is worth it over the AMD?
