im considering a new gaming pc as my old graphics card has died and as i will probably end up spending 1k on a new card i may as well update whole system.

I built my last pc about 5 or 6 years ago so I am so out of the loop with whats good or not right now. Any advice for what to go for or not? I have always previously run intel but im open to change if AMD better.
 
My current system that I built about 6 years ago (the graphics card is dead…):

-EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Superclock ACX 2.0 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card - dead : (
-Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 7 - Devils Canyon Core i7 4790K CPU & Motherboard Bundle
-Samsung 250GB 850 EVO SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 32 Layer 3D V-NAND Solid State Drive
-Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gbs 64MB Cache
-Kingston HyperX Savage Red 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit
-SuperFlower Leadex GOLD 850W Fully Modular "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply

I mainly play cod war zone and escape from tarkov. My current monitor is 1080p but looking to upgrade that too soon

As everyone says, need GPU 1st if going for a build. Only way of getting a gpu at lowest price is to try and pick up an FE card. you need to be on telegram and look up FE PartAlert. Suggest you set up an a/c 1st, then it's luck whether you see alert. no set time and when they do appear, they go out of stock within a min.(3060ti £369, 3070 £469, 3070ti £529, 3080 £649, 3080ti £1049, 3090 £1399)

I’m trying to get the gpu but damn I’ve more chance of winning lottery than grabbing one of these when they do show up lol

I’d look at something like this, you can chop and change a few bits as need like up ram to 32gb etc, already changed the cpu to an 8 core as while 6 is ok currently 8 will add some longevity.

i know the prebuilds dont come with a great psu, would my old one be sufficient on this rig? SuperFlower Leadex GOLD 850W Fully Modular "80 Plus Gold" Power. it is about 6 years old..... Supply

The Superflower is a quality unit so should be fine but say something happens and have to return the pc , do you change back yo the original psu before shipping.

Personally i would upgrade the psu probablly cost you an extra £50 and potentionally a lot of hassle.
