Oh ok but I am also talking games like Garry's Mod, Rainbow Six Siege, Trove, all that good stuff.

No I have a keyboard, mouse and monitor so I should be fine on that.

What resolution monitor? refresh rate?

1080p, idk.

For around £1400 you should be able to get something with a RTX 3070 + 5600X or 11400F

Thank you all!

Sadly, you should be able to get away with spending a lot less than this, but the GPU market is still real borked

You dont really need a 3060 you could easily save a lot of money and go for a 1660 super for just 1080p.

Is it worth the extra money from a 2060 super to a 3070 if you only play in 1080p?

you want to get the newer generation if possible but prices are greatly inflated at the moment so i would go for a cheaper card instead of a 3070 or wait a while to see if prices drop

if you cant build your own one than might be worth looking into

I was looking to get the 3700x with the 8gb 2060 super.

However I coukd probably only afford to upgrade to the 5800x or the 3070.

I'm not a huge gamer and will be playing mainly on 1080p and a lot of heavy football manager use tbh. Which combination do you think would suit best. I'm limited to around the 1400 mark all in for the tower

i think your plan is good since you are on a budget, plus your uses dont sound demanding.
