Hi all…been ages since I was last on here posting!

Got rid of my old system a couple of years ago.

Will be playing battlefield, maybe new cod and is Team Fortress still going? Haha.

Anyway need a wife budget friendly pc…is 1080p still acceptable or is 1440 the go to?

Anyway for a budget of £1000 maybe £1200 can a system be build including monitor? Even less would be better.

Happy to build myself.

I want longevity 5+ years till I really need to upgrade.

I want to play at high fps at ideally high graphic settings.

Never had 1440p so this is a nice to have?

Thanks all much appreciated!
 
Wow thanks @Tetras didn’t think it would be possible.

How is the road map looking for the socket in that time?

Im not adverse to spending another bit of ££ on gpu or cpu after say 5 years.

What sort of fps should I see with this?

Also does this overclock?

Not really.


AMD have said AM5 will be supported through 2027, but we don't know if that means genuinely new CPUs, or just a respin like AM4 is getting now. I think it is likely AM5 will have at least one new architecture, perhaps 2, but even a 9800X3D should be a nice upgrade on a 7600, when the time comes.


If you look at the 1440p section of the average FPS page it has a little bar graph that includes figures for specific games in their test bench. These figures are at the highest settings available, with no upscaling or ray tracing.

AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT Review

With the Radeon RX 7800 XT, AMD is going after the GeForce RTX 4070. Our review confirms that AMD has achieved performance parity in rasterization and is pretty close in ray tracing, at a much better price point, and they are giving you 16 GB VRAM, instead of just 12 GB.

Thanks mate…is there an alternative cpu to look at and overclock or is that not really a thing now? Like I said with the Ryzen you could get some decent performance increase going for the cheaper cpu.

The 7600 is the lowest end chip (bar the oem 7500f which is a 7600 with no igpu) it's roughly equivalent to a 5800x3d, as its the low end you can always get a faster chip in the future.

The current best GAMING CPU is the 7800X3D which is twice the price but damn fast, will it make much difference if you use a 7800xt? A little, but debatable.
Again it depends on your usage needs but you'd likely need a GPU upgrade before you'd need a CPU upgrade if you went for the X3D

Sounds like a perfect spec for me. It’s been ages since I bought a full new pc. Last time I just got new cpu mobo and ram and used the GTx 480…so it’s a little less wife friendly when I need a complete new system!

Prices have come down somewhat from Covid days so happy with the spec which has been posted I think.
 
Really appreciate the replies thanks.

If the budget was pushed to £1500 would it make any difference to the spec or would I need to spend much more for any real benefit?

You would have the best gaming CPU on that platform.

It gives you better FPS and also what it does it gives you is more FPS at the most demanding parts of a game ,known as the 1% and 0.1% low meaning Less chance of stuttering (smoother).

Thanks for that…will have a think about what to do!
