Looking for New PC

[xt3mad]

Hi, Im looking to build my first Gaming PC. Budget is £2500 including a new monitor. Games I play are Apex Legends, CS2 and some GTA5.

Any suggestions will be great thanks.

I was looking at buying this but thought I could get more for my money if I built it myself.

I tried to copy the spec, but a lot of the brands/models aren't specified, so I chose the cheapest or the best guess:

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Intel Core i7-14700KF (Raptor Lake-S) Socket LGA1700 Processor - Retail (SKU: PRO-INT-00801) = £349.99
• 1 x MSI B760 Gaming Plus WIFI (LGA 1700) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-37M-MS) = £149.01
• 1 x TeamGroup Delta RGB 32GB (2X16GB) DDR5 PC5-51200C40 6400MHz Dual Channel Kit - White (SKU: MY-0AW-TG) = £99.94
• 1 x MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Ventus 2X White OC 16GB GDDR6X PCI-Express Graphic (SKU: GRA-MSI-01576) = £779.99
• 1 x NVIDIA - Black Myth: Wukong Standard Edition Game Bundle (SKU: DIG-NVI-02698) = £0.00
• 1 x WD Black SN770 1TB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive (WDS100T3X0E) (SKU: HD-58F-WD) = £62.99
• 1 x APNX Creator C1 White Mid Tower Case (SKU: CAS-AER-00625) = £79.99
• 1 x Kolink Regulator 850W 80 Plus Gold Gen5 Modular Power Supply (SKU: CA-07V-KK) = £109.99

• 1 x DeepCool LE520 All In One ARGB White CPU Water Cooler - 240mm (SKU: HS-01S-DC) = £53.00

• 1 x Microsoft Windows 11 Home 64-Bit DVD - OEM (KW9-00632) (SKU: SW-18J-MS) = £99.94

okay, this is the best that I can do
the stars of the show are a 240hz OLED monitor, (amazing colours, and deep true blacks,)and a 4070 super to run it!(great graphics card,)
the power supply is future proofed at 850w, and has the 16 pin connector used with the best, and future nvidia graphics cards, should you slip one in later on it is also used with the 4070 super selected,

you could save just a little money, by getting a " thermalright peerless assassin SE ARGB air cooler " from the rainforest, as ocuk only has them on pre-order atm, this would give you more headroom for overclocking the CPU, which is overclockable, you might not be into overclocking yet, but it is fun to tinker, and it means that you can gain some performance later down the line, the CPU also has onboard graphics, should you ever need them, should you have a problem with a graphics card breaking, for example, or if you just needed to reuse the pc a small workstation later on
the awesome monitor has g-sync to go with the nvidia GPU
I can't fit in a windows DVD because I don't know if you have a dvd drive, and the case does not have a space for a dvd drive anyway( i might be wrong, looking at the case again, it looks like it has a vertical drive bay, if you do already have a DVD drive)
maybe you already have a windows 11 installation on a usb stick and you are only getting the oem DVD win11 for the key? you can get cheaper keys elsewhere than £100, or you can just use windows without activating it ,,for free, I've been on free windows 10 for years I thought that ocuk sold win 11 on usb, but I guess not ,because I can't find it!, anyway you will have some decent change from £2500 so, it is up to you what you do with it, I left money aside for an OS
the listed place holder air cooler has pre appplied thermal paste on it(I've double checked)
