Hi, I'm seeking a computer spec for me and my son to build at home. I've had plenty of experience at assemblying computers, but obviously each time the technology has moved along. He has a budget of £2000 but knows the issues with the raising cost of RAM etc. He will use his computer for gaming, i.e. GTA 6, and some computer programming.
I feel ideally the motherboard and CPU should be reasonably up to date, so that the whole system doesn't need to be replaced in a few years. I know that future proofing is impossible, but I feel maybe wrongly that a solid motherboard and CPU is the way to go.
I'm unsure which way to go Intel or AMD with CPU or GPU
Purchase Timeframe: soon, a week or so
Budget: £2000
Usage: chiefly computer games i.e. GTA 6, Beam NG Drive, future games, etc., some programming use; possibly 1400p over 4K, as frame rate is important to him
Preferences: reasonably quiet, doesn't have to be completely silent, decent tower with fans, room to install things without being a nightmare fit, bonus if it looks stylist, but doesn't have to be all flashing neon lights etc.
Current Hardware: n/a
Peripherals: don't need any
Special Needs/Requirements (inc Wi-Fi): none
