Could use advice on hardware for a pre-built

[vexxeh]

Hi all,

Cheers for taking the time, I'm looking for advice on parts for a new system, was looking at the builds on OC, coffee lake and Ryzen.

Looking to spend around £1700, will be primarily a gaming rig, dont stream or work at home. No need for peripherals or a monitor, have a 1080 144hz monitor already. Will probably get a second one at some point but all good at the moment.

When looking myself, I just couldnt decide on a CPU, was looking at the RTX 2060 Strix OC as my GPU but any help on this build is appreciated!

Thanks all!

Cheers for the info!

Current rig has seem better days, ole i5 4690k that's starting to run a bit hot and a 960 GTX. Just moved house and since settling something is causing major stutter in game and at desktop, reason I thought about chucking and upgrading.

If waiting would be worth it then can tinker and make do!

Was looking at the i7 9700k, then thought the i5 9600k would be fine for gaming but if the Ryzen 3000 is going to show up with a bang, maybe worth waiting.

Though about overclocking the i5 but just worried that in future the lack of cores will bottleneck the rig, then again not even sure how many games these days utilise multiple cores and how long it would take to become a problem.

Thanks for all the info so far!
