Hi people,

Its been a while since I last built a pc, the last I bought was a pre built 7700k with a gtx 1070 that was good value for money at the time this will be passed onto my brother.

Need this pc to be able to game comfortably at 1440p whilst sometimes streaming.

looking at the following

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £1,505.34 (includes shipping: £0.00)​


Does that look ok? anything you would change? dont really want to spend any more than this.

also hope the basket thing worked ok.

Thanks in advance
 
I've put this spec together for you. AMD Ryzen 3rd generation is the best bang for buck right now, the 3700x will be good for gaming & should be better than the 9700k for gaming & streaming at the same time due to having more threads. Upgrade possibilities are projected to be much better with X570 than Z390.
I dont think you'll need a 750W PSU, 650W should suffice.
The SSD is slow for an NVME drive, read/write speeds on the one I've specced is much faster.
You don't need Artic silver 5, a tube of thermal paste is included with the cooler. The bequiet bundle is better value.

Thanks for that Grimley, I think I'm set on Intel though, seems to bench better for frames in games which is the priority as I only stream occasionally.
Will go for that cooler and PSU though for sure maybe to ssd too.
Looks like if I shop about abit I can get it all for under 1400 which seems a good deal to me.

edit...ah man looks like that coller is out of stock now =( next best?
