Hi guys,

I have a spare msi 2080ti ventus gpu atm, I was just wondering if some of you kind people could spec me the components I need for a high (ish) end gaming rig. I'd like it to be somewhat future proof so I could upgrade components as and when in the near future if possible. I have around £1.5k -2k (max) to spend.

Many thanks

I can't thank you enough for taking the time to configure some specs for me :) I think I'll go down the AMD route, and like you've said get the aorus master x570.

Case wise....the corsair 400d is out of stock, any other recommendations?

So far in basket comes to 1376.01 (without case but with the x570) so something similar price to the 400d would be perfect.

Thanks once again, its greatly appreciated :)
 
Would you recommend going down the AMD route rather than intel? I don't mind waiting for the 8th for the zen 3 if its advisable, but can just as easy go down the intel route which orbitalwash spec'd.

thanks :)

Cooler comes with paste, win 10 you can get a key for £10 then download win10 put on a usb drive and install.

3900x can be had for £400.

Would you opt for the 3900x over the i9 10900k performance wise? I dont mind the price of either as it falls at the 1.5k mark but would rather have the best quality/performance wise

I try and get the best value for money so I would lean towards the 3900x especially for £400.

10850k is similar performance but less money.

Gaming intel are still on top but but at 4k is more gpu bound, take a look at this article its with a 3080.

You’re a star, and very kind with all your replies. Again, your time is greatly appreciated :)
I will download this evening and swat up.
One last question before I hit the buy now .....would this cpu cooler work well with my chosen case? I like the Simplistic design....
NH-D15 DUAL RADIATOR QUIET CPU COOLER WITH TWO NH-A15 FANS

Yes it's fine but the non s version is slighty better.

There gonna look ugly in that case would rather t either of the others but it's your call

Thought you quoted NH-D15S lol .

You’re not cracking up...I did lol!! But I then read further and read exactly what you stated, that the non s was slightly better. I’m presuming the non s will still fit? I’m going to press the order button! :D

To confirm this is my basket :) Ill get the win 10 key on a usb. But other than that everything in the basket plus my got is everything I need to get up and running? :)
 
Looking forward to putting the build together. I chose next day delivery (should have been shipped today, but order is still in progress! Bit disappointing considering I paid something like 24 pound for next day delivery!!)
