Hi ,im looking to have overclockers build me a PC using the configurator. This is what i had in mind...

i5 10600k
ASUS z490 E motherboard
MSI 2080 super gaming X trio
Corsair 16gb ram 3600mhz
WD blue 1tb m2 ssd
Corsair 465x RGB case
Corsair H100i Platinum liquid cooler.
I game at 1440p and have a budget up to 2300.
Just looking for advice really on what you guys think.

The GPU is obviously great although you might find the 2070 Super much better in value and not much in terms of sacrifice. Also bear in mind new cards may come out end of year if you want to wait till that

If you already have an existing rig, wait until later next month. Nvidia due to release next-gen GPUs mid/late September.

Better throwing your money at a next-gen GPU when not far away from release.

I would definitely hold out for a purchase of a GPU till next month, next gen nvidia are out, price of 2000 series will drop some.

Price cuts maybe incoming for Intel CPUs also as they are not selling well right now and as others have said new Gpus on the way in 6 weeks.

If you can't wait then I would recomend a cheap B-grade card now to hold you over for a couple of months then sell it and upgrade to one of the next gen gpus, it comes with 3 months warranty cover and when you sell it you shouldn't lose much at all.

You might even be able to haggle the price down further especially since you are looking to spend a bit with OCUK on the rest of your machine.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x **B Grade** Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 WindForce X2 rev3.0 8192MB GDDR6 PCI-Express G (GX-1BG-GI)= £319.99

Total: £329.89 (includes shipping: £9.90)
