Hello
It's been a long time since I built a PC, last time was an overclocked Barton 2500+
... wondering if I could get a quick sanity check on the below. I've mainly cribbed advice from the last few weeks of posts.
I want a mid-range gaming rig, 1440p I guess, not into VR. Is it reasonable to expect to be able to build something that will play games with OK performance for the next 5 years or so? Current thinking:
My basket at Overclockers UK:
I also do some dev work where I want to have at least 32GB ram. I had considered getting an X570 board for future CPU upgrades, but not convinced it's worth the cost right now. Spending a bit more than I'd hoped on a GPU, but looks like decent value for money at today's prices + fairly keen on not running too loud, I understand the red devil would be quiter than cheaper 5700XTs?
Many thanks
