Firstly, thank you all in advance for any advice given l really appreciate it. The situation is that my current pc is a Lenovo AIO and l have a huge desire to switch from the PS4 to PC gaming. The AIO will be kept as a dogsbody pc as to be fair its great at what it is meant for.
I have never built my own pc before but am willing to give it a go, although l am mindful of the three year warranty which to be honest will probably sway it. On to the new requirements, for myself l want to play MSFS, F1, first person shooters, try Cyberpunk and essentially just want to be able to play every thing at the moment - yes l know....haha, while my son wants to play things like Minecraft and Roblox etc. One thing l would like is to future proof as much as possible and try to avoid upgrading for 2-3 years, this is the reason l have gone down the AM5 route. I currently have a 27" 1080p monitor spare which is fine for a couple of months until l get hold of a decent 34" ultrawide. The budget is £2.5k tops and l will post the 2 systems lve been looking at below.
I am quite set on the Ryzen 7700x for both systems and l think l am happy with the B650 atx motherboard, along with 32Gb of 5600 C36 RAM. I suppose the real dilema is the GPU - was set on the RX6800xt, then l spotted the 4070ti in the Khopesh build.
I am erring toward the 6800, but am l on the right track and anything else l should know/change? Thanks again.
