New pc advice

Hi all, I’m looking for some advice on what to look for in terms of a new gaming pc.

currently I do my gaming on console(xbox series x) , but I’m looking to replace long term with a gaming pc.

I see plenty of pre build options on specific websites, but my knowledge is basic.

in terms of games, I play shooters/driving sims / sports games mainly. I don’t want to go to basic, where the setup would need upgrading in 3 months time. I’d rather pay for a unit that will be solid, an reliable.

obviously I’m not a pro gamer- I don’t stream etc. But do play online- an with all that goes on these days with cross play etc, I’d like to be more competive with my setup.

id appreciate any advice, if there’s a pre built unit out there, that’s smart. Easy on the eye(something with cool lights an glass panel). That would suit me then please do. But if you think I should be building something to a certain spec the advice would be great!

hope your all safe and well

Going back to your original question and looking through the list, I would recommend this one: ▷ OcUK Gaming Rapier - AMD Ryzen 'Zen 3' 5600X … | OcUK (overclockers.co.uk)
I would also recommend dropping the additional drive and antivirus and increasing the M.2 drive to at least 1TB. This will come in at around £1900. Also, I have been following the forums and the RTX3070s are less of an issue than RTX3080s and will still give you a good gaming experience at 1440p.

Please stay away from big name pre-builds. Generally they give you all the specs on paper, but they typically hamstrung with costed down proprietary parts that you cannot easily upgrade, cases with poor airflow, bloatware and appalling customer service. There are plenty of youtube videos on this. There are others, but as a starting point check out Linus Tech Tips secret shopper series.
