Hi all - after playing AC:Odyssey on my current machine I'm getting the itch for an upgrade so I can play the game in even more graphical glory. I'm potentially looking at the following:
My basket at Overclockers UK:
I don't really want to spend £1,500 (although I can), £1,000 has been my previous target amount. I'm planning on cannibalising case, monitor, PSU, kb and mouse from current setup so that's one lot of savings already accounted for!
Some current thoughts on the build, small SSD for O/S and other routine software, larger SSD for games which are hard drive intensive and could use improved loading times (e.g. Total War games) and HDD for everything else. I use a dual monitor setup using two 27 inch Dells, although I can't remember the exact model. Graphics intensive games I don't play too often, but things like AC:Odyssey come along and they do tax my current machine.
Can anyone suggest any potential improvements/savings?
