Hi All,
I was browsing for a new gaming PC and thinking about what I want to build and to what specification. I have built one before and it lasted me 8 years, so I'm very much pro spending a little more in order to future-proof, but I'm happy for OC to put it all together for me as I trust then more than myself these days. Budget is roughly 2k including a monitor, but can stretch up to 2.5k to accommodate more future proofing. I'm pretty much basing this pricing on the Refract Azure more than anything else as I haven't kept up with the latest on components and the latest hotness for PC building.
In terms of specs/wishlist/aspirations -
I think that's all, I've tried to be as comprehensive as possible, and I believe this is the correct forum as I'm happy to source everything from OC. Thanks in anticipation!

In terms of specs/wishlist/aspirations -
- I'd like to run BG3 at 1440p/60 minimum, but can go up to 120 FPS
- I also am a big CIV fan, so anything that can handle the next CIV game (not yet announced) well (ie CPU power more so than graphical fidelity)
- In terms of other AAA PC games, I'm not looking for it to run Starfield at 1440/120, and don't necessarily play many AAA games on release, but I will be preordering TES6, but lord knows what the requirements are for that.
- Not interested in streaming or anything else beyond gaming really. Potential photoshop but I have a macbook for that primarily.
- Games will be run on a 27" monitor in a relatively small room. Some light research has pointed me to LG 27" 27GR75Q-B 2560x1440 IPS 165Hz as a respectable monitor, but again open to suggestions!
- Aesthetically I am quite taken with the Fractal Design North Charcoal Black or Chalk for that matter and I'm not too hot on having Neon LEDs inside the tower, but open to stylish suggestions to compliment it
- I already have a mouse and keyboard, so just tower and monitor recommendations are welcomed!
I think that's all, I've tried to be as comprehensive as possible, and I believe this is the correct forum as I'm happy to source everything from OC. Thanks in anticipation!
