New PC for son

[Colapops]

Hey all. Planning on getting a new PC for my son for xmas, he plays lots of games and current PC is struggling at 1440p.

At the moment he's got some crappy pre built thing from Curry's with a Intel CPU and a 3060TI that sounds like a jet engine, 16gb ram and a terrible case.

Id like to keep the price around 1300quid if we can but dont mind going over if needs be.....

Now i spent 1700quid on my PC built in March and got a 9800X3d and a 9070XT etc etc. I was planning on a 7800x3d and a 9070XT pulse, is it worth stretching to a 5070Ti? Motherboard and PSU options?

I will sell the old PC so that will go towards it.

Thanks.

9070xt to a 5070ti. personally, nope, wouldn't spend extra. the 9070xt is more than capable for 4k, let alone 1440p

I have a 9070XT........... was asking if its worth spending extra on a 5070Ti instead of a 9070XT for sons build.......

Thank you for the suggestions. Im thinking the 7600X3D and a 9070XT. Whats the XFX triple fan 9070XT like for noise levels? Im tempted just to get the Pulse like ive got because its pretty good on the noise front.

PSU- 750W is enough?

I was waiting till black friday to order everything but now iam just thinking order it all now. I have ordered the memory already.

Do we think OCUK is going to have any more of a sale when proper black friday comes? i can't imagine much will change....

Finally managed to get the build all done. Its built, windows installed, all ready for him for Christmas. Should last him years. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. It cost me £1460 for everything. Most of it from OCUK, CPU and HD weren't.

I went with:
7800 X3D
32GB RAM 6000MHz CL 36..
Sapphire Pulse 9070XT
Sapphire Pulse B850M Wi Fi mobo
2TB WD M.2 SSD
Be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 850W ATX 3.1 80 Plus Gold
Lian Li Lancool 216 RGB Mid-tower PC case
Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Digital Black CPU Cooler

Pretty chuffed with the whole build. He should be very happy lol.
