What will the PC be used for?

Gaming and work - the usually. Yes I'd like a new GFX but erm nothing available.

Gpus are available if you go down the route of a pre build.

what sort of work do you do on the pc and also what res you plan to game at?

I currently play at 1080p but at some point it the future would like to upgrade to 1440.

Thanks but I've already got the CPU and RAM 2nd hand and have the ability to be patient rather than overspend on a 3060 and hopefully pick up either a 3080 or 6800 when they exist. I have the issue of trying to save money and also wanting a relatively high spec.
