Need suggestions for a new PC

Zikar · 8 Sep 2023 at 15:14

That time of the decade again where I haven't been keeping up with hardware so I would like to ask for some help.

Budget is £3k

Hopefully I would like to be able to use raytracing and aim for 4k 120hz.
The motherboard should have as many USB slots as possible.
A high storage SSD.
I have a strong preference for nVidia and Intel.
I will need an OS, I'm not sure if Win11 is basically required now or not.

I do not need monitors or peripherals.

Thank you very much for your time.

Doubt there will be any board with 3 HDMI's

Fair enough, removed that from my OP.

The motherboard? Can you clarify this?

Most Z790 boards only have 2 in total (1x DP and 1x HDMI).

If you mean the graphics card, that is also problematic, because modern cards are mostly DP with only 1 HDMI.

Sapphire's 7900 XTX Pulse has 2x HDMI and 2x DP and you can get 1x HDMI on the board, if that will be sufficient, but I'm not sure why you want them on the motherboard?

Yes, sorry, I removed that requirement, my mistake.

Seems that the case is out of stock with no ETA, thinking of getting this instead, I think it will fit all of the components but I wouldn't mind a double check. Will have to buy some fans for it, too.

I don't mind being a bit more subdues, in the end I went with the glass window version of the one I posted

Yes, I added a 140mm fan, the cooler comes with three fans too and since we're out of the hot weather that should be enough for now. Can always buy some more if need be.
