Need a new Gaming PC

[Cabunag]

The PC i have is quite old i bought on E Bay some years ago the CPU is Intel r Core i7 [email protected] i then put a EVGA 1080ti it worked well even played the new Microsoft Flight Sim very sluggish in 4k but not too bad in 1080.

My favourite game at the moment is Beyond all Reason the CPU is slowing the game for other players.

I seen a ready built PC on here let me know what you think I usually play on 1440.

Here is the one i found

Hi.

The 5080 is certainly capable of 4k gaming but if your target resolution is 1440p you could drop down to a 5070ti or 9070xt while The 9800x3d is the fastest gaming CPU .

that's a bit of a stretch.
no one else commented because there wasn't a need to (unlike now, just to clear misconceptions)
micky's reply was correct and complete
what do you want, a chorus of "+1s"?

You didn't even ask a question, you just made a statement.

Late to the party.

For 1440p I personally feel like the 9800X3D with a 5080 is too much, that is 4k gaming territory. And even at that, the X3D is better suited to CPU intensive games.

9700x with a 9070xt and 32gb of DDR5 would be great value.

If you do any sort of video work which utilizes the graphics card then yeah that 5080 may well be worthwhile.

I was thinking of getting a 49 inch Monitor not 4k but close.

Philips Evnia 49M2C8900AM - 49 inch QD OLED curved gaming monitor, 240 Hertz, 0.03ms GtG, HDR400, Ambiglow (5120x1440, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, USB-C, USB Hub) white​

Or something similar, thanks.

5120x1440

tbh that resolution is not far off 4k anyway (7.4MP vs 8.4MP) so just get your original plan with a 5080

if it's a real time strategy games you play, you could still use a 9070xt or 5070ti..they're more than capable of 4k gaming..i use a 9070xt on my 4k screen no problem. RTS games will be more cpu intensive though quick look at beyond all Reason, although it does have multithread use, it still relies on single thread performance primarily, so sticking to 9800x3d/7800x3d etc still way to go...no point going higher core count
I just think 580 is a lot more money that an 5070ti/9070xt, for not that big an uplift in performance.

below if you want to build yourself saves over £600

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Sapphire Nitro+ B850A WiFi 7 (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MOT-SPR-05688) = £157.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Eight Core 5.20GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: PRO-AMD-03517) = £399.95
• 1 x B Grade Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB (2X16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C36 6000MHz Dual Channel (SKU: BG-MEM-CRS-02782) = £349.99
• 1 x Team Group G50 2TB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive (SKU: STO-TMG-03132) = £194.99
• 1 x Phanteks AMP GH 1000W V2 80PLUS Platinum ATX Power Supply Modular - Black (SKU: POW-PHK-05991) = £129.90
• 1 x Phanteks Glacier One 360 M25 Black RGB All In One CPU Cooler - 360mm (SKU: COO-PHK-03102) = £89.99
• 1 x PHANTEKS XT M3 Micro-ATX Case, includes 3x 120mm Fans - Black (SKU: CAS-PHK-05735) = £52.89
• 1 x Asus Radeon RX 9070 XT Prime OC 16GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-ASU-04155) = £599.99

Total: £1,975.69 (includes delivery: £0.00)

that being said, you you don't want to build, then ocuk will prob charge about £300 to do it for you, which then makes the Mach 6 more appealing as putting a 5080 into the above build raise the price to £2450, and there's no way ocuk would build for £150, so in that respect, it's a decent price (factoring expensive ram/ssd atm)​
