Pre built gaming PC

[Gazza4354]

Hello.

I'm looking at buying a pre built gaming PC as my PC is just for basic stuff so not very good. I don't know a lot about what is good and what isn't so if some of the more knowledgeable people would kindly point me in the right direction.

I'm looking to spend upto around £2000 can be flexible and hoping it offers future upgrade options down the line. I bought a new monitor at the start of the year so if it's good enough then wouldn't need one. This is the one I got Monitor, my keyboard and mouse are just basic and I have the hyperx cloud 3 headset that I use on my Xbox so could either use this or get a new one. I would like it with a decent sound card in so I can hear where the sounds are coming from much easier.

Purchase Timeframe: No major rush

Budget: around £2000

Usage: normal use plus gaming

Preferences: Good sound card, options to upgrade in the future if possible.

Current Hardware: N/A my current PC isn't just basic

Peripherals: Have monitor I bought a few months ago and an Xbox headset, basic mouse/keyboard

Special Needs/Requirements (inc Wi-Fi): Wifi please other than that I'm unsure

Regards,

Gary.

Ideal spec for a £2K PC:

Storage: 2TB+ SSD.
RAM: 32GB+.
(Listed those first because they're the most unusually/high priced at the moment)

Graphics: 9070 XT or 5070 Ti. 5070 or 9070 non-XT can be acceptable, if the rest of the spec/price makes sense.

If you're playing at 1080p (you are, right?), then a 9060 XT 16GB or 5060 Ti 16GB are also good cards, except that they've gone up in price a lot lately, which can make them poor value relative to the higher-end ones.

CPU: 7800X3D if a good price, otherwise: 9800X3D/9850X3D. This assumes gaming is primary use and there's no CPU-intensive secondary use. 250K/270K are an alternative if you're interested in more multithreading for the money. Note that Intel's socket is believed to be dead, AMD's should have at least one more gen.

I can't help with sound (cards). I expect you'll have to add that to the prebuilt yourself.
