Soldato
Hello,
I tend to buy a brand new computer every 4-5 years, getting the best I can at that point.
My current PC is certainly struggling (especially since I sold my 1080Ti during the price hike and currently rocking a 1050 2GB....).
I need the main computer + monitor (monitor will also be used for work, I currently have 2x Dell 24" monitors but will use one of these as a secondary so looking for a new main monitor 144hz+ as all mine have only ever been 60hz).
At the moment game wise, I have really only been playing Valorant as it runs on a potato but that is due to selling my 1080Ti. But I do enjoy it so would be nice to have monitor that can take advantage of the higher FPS I get in it. With a new computer I will be expanding out to more modern games.
Recycling from old PC will be a Samsung 970 Plus 1TB and a 4TB HDD.
I want to buy the best I can atm to last for as long as possible as I am not a yearly upgrader.
I am thinking along the lines of 12700k/12900k, Mobo, 32GB 3600+ DDR4, 3080-3090 (inc the Ti - Although am curious abe 3090Ti but no real news on release date). I have loooked at pre-builts more than usual as I have built my own for over 20 years but it seems you can get better value iin certain pre-builts at the moment.
I am doing my own research but what would everyone recommend? I would like a 1TB Gen 4 main drive for Windows and then use the recylced parts for storage. It would also help to have a KVM whether included in the monitor or not as I will have a work laptop to plug into the same monitor + the Dell secondary and i would be easier to switch between for easier control.
What builds would you recommend? RGB is not of value to me but I understand a LOT of stuff just comes with it now.
Any help appreciated.

, or the looks and just wants best price/performance then think it's a no brainer, go for the Arctic. If he wants rgb, then the corsair's not a bad option, price has dropped(cheapest I saw was £179 when I was looking for my build) and allows a future upgrade to add the lcd screen if wanted. Personally, i don't like the look of the pump head that sits on the cpu, though it is growing on me,and pretty much any reputable 360mm aio will keep a 12700k cool. Just get one with a good warranty of 5yrs+(for example, MSI ones 2 yrs, Corsair 5yrs, Arctic 6yrs)
