Rate my spec

[john_smith]

Hi.

I'm building a system for a friend of mine. He wants to play MS FlightSim and i'm trying to make him play iRacing as well. I would imagine we'll end up with an ultrawide 1440p rather than 4k monitor. But it might start out with a 27" 1080p. He wants a system like mine but the budget is slightly restricted.

He's looking to spend around £1200, i've just bought the CPU so that's set in stone.

This is what I'm looking at. Should I goto AMD for graphics? I realise price is higher but I'm going to get him to up his budget. I dont want to spec something just below good enough in order to save £100/200.

Thank you.

TY, forgot an cooler. Not set on a 4070 or even NVIDIA. It's an opening offer to start discussions

Went with my original mobo due to stock issues. Also gone for a 4070 as it's a similar price to the 7800.
