First build in a long time as I start to move back into PC gaming.
My budget limit is around the £1500 mark and I'm looking to build a system that is solid at 1080p but can move to 1440p when I get around to sourcing a new monitor in the near future. My focus is more on performance/FPS than running at ultra settings.
I'm fairly out of the loop when it comes to hardware though so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
So far I've come up with the following. Thoughts? I'm not stuck on brands, just want to build the best I can in performance for the price.
A few thoughts, cpu cooling, air or water? I've went with AM5 so that I can upgrade cpu down the line without switching on the board. Will the Asus TUF be future proof or am I better investing in a higher end board?
