New monitor +gpu

[JamesH85]

Hey guys,

My friends looking to upgrade these and has £400 to spend, could some in the know spec a combo for him?

AMD or nvidia doesn't matter.

Currently has a 5750 and a garbage 22" fell monitor.

Thanks!

Edit: just informed he can stretch to £500

He games, Dota, wow, overwatch, and Starcraft.

System:

2600k at stock
Corsair 600w 80 plus bronze builder series psu
Antecedent p180a case I think it is.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Sapphire Radeon RX 480 Nitro+ 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £239.99
• 1 x AOC G2460PF 24" 1920x1080 TN FREESYNC 144Hz 1ms Gaming Widescreen LED Monitor - Black/Red= £199.99

Total: £451.68
(includes shipping: £11.70)
​

​

Something like that or spend more on a larger 1440P resolution screen.

I also wonder if a 21:9 (2560x1080 for example) aspect ratio monitor would help as it would show more of the visible map on screen if the game supports that sort of resolution.

The RX 480 will also allow him to play much more demanding titles if he wants to try a first person shooter.
