Hi folks!
I am ready to purchase a new gaming PC. I am looking for something around the £1,200 price point that is capable of driving my 1400 x 3440 monitor at 30+ fps for the latest AAA titles (not too worried about hitting 60+ although that would be a bonus!)
My only criteria is having a small enough system to replace my current Mini-ITX one which sits under my desk, hence I am thinking Micro-ATX (to give a little more build room than my current PC!)
I have the following shopping basket as a starter:
My basket at Overclockers UK:
In terms of CPU, I like the Zen 3 platform in terms of bang-for-buck, I was tempted to go for 5600X but the 5000 series seem to be in short supply at the moment. I could wait if it's going to be worth it. In terms of GPU, the RTX 2060 seems like a good balance between future proofing and value for money, I did also consider the GTX 1660 Ti but the 2060 seems a bit more powerful.
Please let me know your thoughts - all feedback, advice, suggestions appreciated, as always!
Many thanks,
JC
