Looking for a pre build gaming pc

[vik91]

Hi Folks
I have a ps5 and a Samsung odyssey g7 monitor.
I love playing fps games with high end visuals and looking into getting a pc due to lack of games for ps5.
I want to get a pc that can run games in 4k
Any advice ? My budget is £1500
Cheers

Hi and welcome.

4k gaming takes a costly GPU to give you the 60 fps needed to run AAA games , especially at high detail.

What games will you be playing?

Will you be building the pc or pre built ?

A prebuild to play AAA games @ 4K with the eye candy for £1500 is a big ask!

The best I can see from a quick browse on OCUK is a 4070 Super.

You can play @ 4K with a 4070 Super, but TPU's review has the average FPS (at highest details) of the FE at 67.5, with some games nearer 30 than 60, so lowering the details and using DLSS/upscaling to maintain playable FPS is going to be the norm sooner rather than later.

That said, if you were more modest in your expectations and happy to play older games, then they're decently capable of 4K and can push 90+ FPS if you're willing to step back a few years.

If you're happy to build, then the 7900 XT in mickyflinn's build hits 81 fps in the same review, maybe not a huge difference, but it gives you a bigger buffer to achieve playable frame rates. You're unlikely to be using ray tracing much with either card.

if you can stretch a bit more, you could do a 7800x3d and 7900xtx build for a touch over £1700..
