Hello,

as this is completely impossible I have decided on a 9070/9070xt and parts to go with that.
My case vibrates so I might even get rid of that.

Could I improve upon for atx

Thanks for the replies.

No set budget. A decent £/performance for 1440/60hz.

I have always ended up upgrading ram so thought 64gb.

for the Antec?
 
I don't have an infinite budget, hence keeping my old monitor and the 9600x.

honestly if you got no set budget then might as well sell your current screen and get a high-refresh rate panel instead. why hamstring your new system with a sub-par screen?

I'm not up to date with screens and mostly play RPGs.
 
The parts in the original post total a bit under £1600 so that can be the budget.

The monitor is an old dell IPS. It'll definitely need replacing sometime in the near future but I'll keep it for now.
 
Thanks.

I have an old Windows 10 USB somewhere if I can find it will it work with a new motherboard? I think a usb stick can be made from the microsoft website for 11 but I really don't want to pay £100 for a licence.
