2009 gaming system, time for new build.

[plasmahal]

Well,

I'm due sometime in the near future to get some additional money in my sweaty mitts.

Just checked my order history, and the core of my current system was bought 21 Oct 2009.....

With just upgrades to SSD for OS and a R290 GFX card, it's served me well.

With a budget of £1500 to £1700, i'm looking at my options.

So far, I'm looking at something that will run BF5 with ease.

The 1070TI looks to be good money for the performance and as for CPU, not too fussed as the Intel Q9550 was the first intel chip i had since a Pentium III. Had AMD in between as they were good money.

Will also look at bundle deals when the money hits the bank.

Do you need a new monitor, what are you running now?

Yes. i'll be needing a new monitor, currently have a 24" dell ultrasharp with some burn-in...

Looking for something maybe a little bigger plus vesa mounting. £200-£300.

 

[plasmahal]

Thanks orbitalwalsh,

monitor a little over budget and no mention of vesa mounting.

I have the AOC G2790PX 27" 1920x1080 TN 144Hz FREESYNC Widescreen LED Monitor arriving today.

As an OEM package, i assumed the i5 came with a stock cooler.

would personally stick with the vega 64 for freesnc screens, specially if you render at 1440p on that 1080p 27" screen

i agree, been procrastinating over it. It seems that a Vega 56 is good value and would suit my needs.

 

[plasmahal]

This is a bargain....
