Gaming PC £4-£5k

[TimAhKin]

Hi everyone!

My friend is really close to buy a new PC as the other custom build he had is not in service for the 3rd time and I advised him to use OCUK now.

These are the main specs from the "old" PC:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3900X water cooled
MOBO: Asus Crosshair VIII HERO
RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance PRO DDR4 3200MHZ
GPU: Asus ROG Strix 2080 Ti - water cooled.
SSD: 1TB Samsung 860QVQ and 1TB Samsung 960 EVO (M2)
PSU: Corsair 850W RMx Series 80 Plus Gold.
Case: Coolermaster Cosmos C700M

Budget is £4-£5k. He wants AMD CPU (maybe 3900XT) and 2080ti GPU. He only needs this for gaming - 1440p 165hz monitor. He also likes RGB for those extra fps.

Maybe something like this could work?

He ordered the previous PC without telling me and he got that absolute unit of a case that is so overpriced. He spent the same amount of money on that one.
I know that some components are overkill on price but he wants the best. The price difference between 3900X and 3900XT is small.

He was ready to get this one even though it has an INTEL CPU, but I told him to wait. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/8pac...hz-ddr4-extreme-overclocked-pc-fs-003-8p.html

I'm trying to convince him to wait one more month or so, but it might be hard as he has no PC at the moment and being stuck at home without one sucks.

Thanks.

Wait, what, he already HAS the 3900X / 2080 Ti rig mentioned in your OP? There's nothing to upgrade too then right now...

Just tell him to wait til mid/late next month, Nvidia release their new top end GPU and he can burnhismoney buy that on release.

If he wants to donate the 2080 Ti after, drop him my contact info please.

Yes, he bought that PC from a different place but he had to send it to service 3 times. First time the pump died, then the GPU died and the last thing was that the performance of the GPU was abysmal. So he is kinda sick of them and he requested a refund.

Due to an accident few years ago, he got paralyzed from waist down so having a PC and playing games it's a nice thing to have. He got used to that performance and he wants the same or better.
