Hi all, been a long time since i've been here, forgot I had an account. Right im looking at getting a new Rig, my current rig is a i5 with a 970 GTX and 8GB ram, im still on windows 7! lol.

Ive specced this up for under 1300quid would like some input, not sure on best memory, PSU, etc etc and I will also want a new monitor. Any suggestions on alterations would be most welcome.

That looks pretty good, I do like that case I picked though.....

I can happily build it myself, just fancied having it all done for me for once.

Thanks for reply.

Good point, thought I'd said, I plan on getting a new monitor to run at 1440 144hz which appears to be the sweet spot.

Pretty set on a 2070 any reason why you suggest the AMD GPU?

Don't plan on touching this for years, this is going to last a while.

Thanks for ya help. Is that case ok as its really small? Little worried about these small cases.....

Also maybe a dumb question but I don't see any DvD drives on PC's anymore. how do you play older games with a disc?
