Last year I came here for a build but real life got in the way. Well my PC is dying a slow death now, it’s 8 years old! I want to run WoW at max if possible at 1440, I don’t really do other gaming on my pc as I will have either a PS5 or Xbox series x for that.
I’d like to be able to stream and run Spotify in the background, run two monitors as well. With the new 3070 and the way the nvidia card helps with streaming this seemed a good option, when they are released and I’m willing to have a go at building myself, it looks fairly easy and I’ll get a windows key off eBay as well, it if there’s a bargain pre built system I’m open to that.
Budget will be around £1k, I’ve got peripherals sorted anyway. I open to having RGB and wouldn’t mind a white case, but its not a deal breaker.
Thanks in advance
 
Do you have any components you might be able to reuse such as SSD's, or do you want new everything as far as the tower is concerned?

Are you including the 3070 in the budget or is it £1000 for everything else?

Everything from new, I just think all my old gear wouldn’t be useful, I’m probably going to hand down to my 8 year old. thanks.

What about the 3070, is that included in the 1k budget? If so you're going to struggle as it's almost half of it by itself.

Although I don't think a GPU of that magnitude is warranted for WoW at 1440P.

Ye I’d like it to be, obviously that may push it up a bit. I really have no clue when it comes to what I would need.

you could get away with rtx 2060 Super easily enough, but the pricing of it is high still as 3070 hasnt been launched nor 3060Ti/60

yep, if you can get the free 500GB M.2 then saves cash but again not ocuk .. yet..

shame looking at £600 for the vision

For give my ignorance but this has no psu etc? I appreciate waiting for the 3070 to come out as well will reduce prices on other cards as well, just getting an idea at what I need to order, also what is the M.2?
 
The OP will need new PSU, cpu+mobo, ram and GPU.

to save money and keep to the budget the only way to do it is to take the case and the SSD drives from the old system.

you will be looking at

Corsair RM750
Ryzen 3600
ASUS X570 Prime-P
3200MHz 2x8GB DDR4
And the RTX 3070 or the AMD 6800

That should be within the budget.

Sadly I need new everything so looks like a budget increase :(
 
I think best wait for the AMD GPU drop see what that does for you.

the RX5700 can be bios flashed to RX5700XT which will give you everything you need. But at a fraction of the cost of the newer GPU. And that means you can afford the case and NVMe drives within your budget

do some research on the 5700 cards. Some are very good and can bios flashed without issues. Others aren’t as good.

Ok thanks however I have no idea what bios flash is or how to do it, I’m building for the first time and just want a basic build and go.

Just google “RX 5700 to RX 5700XT”.

Very simple process. Easier than putting the PC together and installing windows and drivers and programmes.
