Spec me a new comp!

[ste171]

Hi guys long time lurker, looking at replacing my i960, hd7950 build which has recently died,

Budget I'd like to keep to around 1800 to 2000 max, dont need windows,keyboard or mouse and I game on a 4k oled.

Would probably need to be prebuilt as I doubt I'd know we're to start........any suggestions welcome!

Thanks

Ste

Which games do you play? Are the special considerations like noise and styling - colour, size, etc - for which we need to cater? Is this subject to spousal approval?

Hi mainly fps and third person shooters etc, noise doesn't concern me as will be in the living room and usually drowned out by TV, no real opinions on style and not subject to spouse approval!

Here is a Ryzen spec with a GTX 1080 ti. I would ask ocuk to swap out the Founders edition 1080 ti for a different version (Something like the Gigabyte Gaming OC)

If you want to cut down the price a bit you could drop the cpu down to the R5 1600/X and change the SSD to a SATA one (Samsung 750/850 EVO or Crucial MX300 etc).

Also if you don't plan to SLI then you could get a cheaper B350 board such as the Gigabyte Gaming 3 and a 550W psu. The XFX XTR 550W would be fine.

A couple of the items are showing as out of stock (Ram and cooler) so you can ask for alternatives.

The case is personal pref so you might want to change it to something else.
