Budget: £1500 - £2000
Good morning all,
Decided it’s time for a new gaming PC, however, I’ve not kept up with industry developments and therefore have no idea what’s actually worth using now.
I have a 1080p monitor I’m looking to keep (I’d rather have more frames more often than increase the resolution) and don’t need any other peripherals, just a mid tower and the stuff to go in it.
Specific things I’m after are; M.2 (500GB) for W10 (also needed), frequently used applications and a game or two. SSD (1TB). An AiO cooler (less weight = less of a ball ache when taking it to a LAN).
I overclocked my current CPU and I’m prepared to overclock again. Really don’t want any RGB on/in this at all and I’d like it to run as quietly as possible, if that means upgrading from stock fans, no problem.
Whilst I don’t have any brand loyalties, one of the games I’m planning to play on this is destiny 2, which doesn’t currently run on the Ryzen 3000. As I mentioned earlier, I’m more interested in higher frame rates at high graphical settings (excluding stuff like ray tracing which just tanks frame rate) than increasing the resolution beyond 1080p.
Whilst my upper end is £2000; I don’t HAVE to spend that, nor do I want to if the gains are becoming disproportionately marginal, I would however like this to not need upgrading till after cyberpunk.
Just a side note; the other “frequently used applications” are photoshop and illustrator, whilst the PC is mainly for gaming these programs will be used multiple times a week.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
