New Build Help/Advice & Guidance

Dec969 · 25 Oct 2018 at 17:30

Hello All,

I use to game on a laptop but sadly that died due to overheating and just wear/tear over the years.

I am now looking to move to a desktop to play RPG/FPS and Strategy games (Skyrim/Battlefield/Total wars etc) and need some help configuring a desktop.

My budget is £2000, micro atx build or mid build is what I am looking for. Also like the look of the Lian-LI pc-Q37WX Mini-itx case tempered glass, thoughts?

Currently looking at getting LG 34UC88 34" 3440×1440 Monitor but will happily change depending on the build. (Ps I have a separate budget for the screen)

Any advice would be greatly appreicated.

Many thanks,

Dec969

Space isnt an issue but the again don't want anything to big.

I normally got for Intel/Nvidia but open to suggestions.

Yes l, the budget is around £2700 for screen/tower. I do need a a decent keyboard/mouse but can do with out in the short term to get a decent tower rather than splash out on it now.

Cheers guys really helpful!!

Just on the case, would you guys recommend a diffrent one at all? (Sorry for all the questions)

To be fair Im pretty open to case shapes etc, it is the ability to view more of the components which I like.

Thank you!

On a side note, is it worth getting an RTX 2080 than the 1080ti (Around the same price)? I could always then get an RTX 2080 ti and use dual graphics?

Yeah I do like the lian li cases though also don't mind some of the Be quiet ones either.

I have to say I pefer Nivida compared to AMD gpu's, however when it comes to processors it is a close call between Intel/amd for gaming by the looks of things.

You have been amazing help getting me familiar with the basics, I have a few hard choices to make but you have certainly set me on the right path!
