Hi I’m looking to buy a gaming pc for my son and he wants to be able to play gta v with the lspdfr mod and plugins but iv noticed by other forums that the mod can take a much better pc to run than just gta as standard an you recommend the best spec for me please? My budget it’s around £1500 thank you.
Best spec gaming pc for my needs

what screen is he playing on? i.e 1080p or above 60hz ? or if one would need to be included
also looking for self built or shop to build it for you?
Haha, you do know that this forum is attached to another retailer, right?
Pmsl no I did not. Did I say pc specialist I meant over clockers seriously tho I don’t mind who builds it I’d just see one on there I like and a friend told me to check on here first so here I am but now I know overclockers build them too I will be sure to take a look at the site when I have a spec in mind to look for
You could look at this one - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk...ke-refresh-ddr4-gaming-pc-fs-153-og.html#t=d3
I'd change the 2070 to a dual fan version (should be quieter) but otherwise the combo of a 9700K and 16GB of RAM should be pretty good.

Does this 4K TV have a HDMI 2.0 input for 4k 60Hz, or older version that only does 4K 30Hz?
Tv runs at 60Hz and has a 2.0 input
Can’t find the option to change it to dual fans and I’d like to make it be ready too but can’t find that option either

Rtx 2080. Will drive 4k medium. 2080ti is the first true 60hz/FPS + card but at a grand.. 2080 lower in price but damn good performance
PSU changed for a better one, 6 core ryzen (intel doesn't lead at 4k gaming so saves cash for GPU) and 1TB SSD - GTA takes a lot of room and mods even more so .
That looks good, Orb.
If possible to ditch the mechanical drive I'd do so. Can always add one later if needed. That would make it easy to get 16GB RAM intead of 8GB. GTA loves to eat up memory, and the mods likely too.
Check out this case. RGB goodness but with airflow unlike the hot-box Enso.

Build fee would be added on top of this, for which you'd have to ask OcUK for a quote. Free shipping with that Palit 2080.
16GB 3200MHz of RGB RAM. Bit of a luxury there as you can save £40 with non-RGB 16GB 3000MHz or put it towards something else. That RAM looks great though.

P.S. Installing Windows 10 is very easy and can be done for free. Keys are sold for activation a lot cheaper. So could save £80 easily there.
After Windows is installed, just have to install the Nvidia graphics driver and about 5 or 6 motherboard drivers from the manufacturer website, and you're good.
If not wanting to go the key route, you can find Windows 10 USB 32/64-bit for £65 right now from another retailer, so would urge that route. It's almost half the price and I would grab it right now before price goes up.
