The spec is -

Thanks for any help!

Hi there, the price is 880 but open to offers and it's used, he said around 6 months

Yeah, why?? I thought the spec wasn't too bad?

Trust me I worked on that Acer. It's bad.

Just get regular components, either build yourself get a mate who knows PC's or get a shop to build one for your with standard parts

Thanks for that. Is there a spec you could recommend for games like bodycam/delta force etc. Thanks

The spec is good, I'm presuming hornetstinger is probably talking about the quality of the parts, rather than the spec?

Thanks again. I'm not a serious gamer, just the weekends when I get a chance. Been playing ps5 but there's not much choice for games these days, that's why I'm thing of getting a pc, much more choice

 

[hornetstinger]

what is your budget? Do you need monitor, keyboard and mouse as well?

non standard PSU

and doesn't support xmp so memory runs at 4400

 

[wildjackson]

I would say up to 1500 and I'm thing of using my samsung 8k tv and I would like it in the livingroom

 

[hornetstinger]

essh that's the problem you have a 8K TV?? That'll be pushing hardware pretty hard.

Ideally you'd want to be using 1440 at that budget?

You could probably buy better for the same ie that memory isn't 6000mhz etc, I wouldn't go AIO - just use air cooling etc.

But there just to give an idea of price.

Thanks for that. Any sites you would recommend to have a look at for a pc? Also, just had a quick look, is the GeForce RTX 3090 good for 8k

Thanks so much for that. I'm just a bit apprehensive about building my first pc, being an older gamer, not used the idea of building a pc. Would love to but wouldn't know where to start

 

[hornetstinger]

Understandable, but the problem is having a 8K TV, to drive at that native, or use scaling will require high end PC

Might actually be better (and cheaper) to buy a 1440p monitor, you'll get better framerates. Watch this

this is just stupid, you have passed to budget by 50% and dumped 25% of his budget in to a case and motherboard...
