Hi all,
Five years ago I went all-in on a fantastic PC and it's coming to the end of its lifespan for the level I enjoy gaming at (massive thanks to those who helped me build the last one). I'm looking to spec a no-peripherals, all-in brand new build. Budget is set around £3000 but I can cautiously go higher if diminished returns aren't too bad. The PC is used for excessive, gratuitous gaming and occasional streaming. I'm an avid VR user and really want to max out that performance, along with finally moving from QHD to UHD gaming. I'm by no means flush with cash but this is one of those "work hard, play hard" type of situations so ideally not compromising too hard on certain parts. Priority is performance, I don't care for RGB or mind loud components (currently running heavy duty Noctua fans, sounds like Gatwick airport in here). I read a commenter elsewhere categorise this kind-of build as a hobbyist vanity project, so something along those lines but still practical in design. I was originally going to hold out for the NVIDIA 5000 series release but frankly I just don't have any patience left. Perfectly capable of building myself, but not averse to a pre-build if there's any good deals going on at the moment. Please let me know if you have any specific questions.
As always, incredibly grateful for the recommendations and research you guys put in.
Cheers! ^_^
