I'm just looking for a single RGB fan to run white and throw some light onto the components.

Would it not be best to get a white led fan instead of rgb?

In my very limited experience with rgb, white is not very good. (only got my keyboard and gpu to go by though)

Yeah, sole white only Fan should give a better quality

So I've now ordered a Dell S2719DGF

Apparently it doesn't come with a Display port cable, so I'll order one of those, as well.

Pics to follow once delivered. Thanks to everyone for help & support so far

Thinking i will probably get the same monitor.

Look forward to the pics and if you can, any comments on the monitor.

EDIT

Just put the order in.

Delivery is between 1 and 3 weeks though.

Just hope it doesn't get lost in transit. Not sure who does their deliveries. (Got a feeling it will be Hermes or Yodel

)

Hi all, some thread resurrection, as after some advice...

I've just purchased a 5700X to replace the 2600 and am looking for suggestions to replace the RX580, please

I went from a RX 580 to a 6750 XT

TheDean · 28 Dec 2023 at 20:29

I wonder if an RX 6800 would work? I've seen them drop to around £389 now. Any other options worth considering around this price point?

TheDean · 29 Dec 2023 at 16:50

XFX RX6800 SWFT 319 arrives tomorrow. Please let me know if it's an awful decision for 1440p gaming at £389

It's not a bad choice for that money tbh, its a very capable card at 1440P.

TheDean · 29 Dec 2023 at 17:04

The other question is around the new Nvidia cards which are coming out in January - will that impact the 1440p GPU market? e.g I'm looking to spend around £350 - £450 but back for buck is most important

The new cards are going to be £600 + minimum and that's probably my being optimistic.

I doubt that they'll have much impact on anything within your price range.

I have been watching this deal for a few days. Very tempted. It's between this and a 6750xt which is £335

Is the £50 worth it?

It will give you the ability to play modern games at 1440p at decent settings, if you can afford it yes it's worth it imo.

6800 still a very good GPU, specially considering other options’ prices.
Some of the actual gen entry/mid options are a complete joke… and expensive for what they offer. Most people will be better off getting a 6800/6800XT and 3080 12GB than most mid range from last gen.
