Need help making a PC build

[weary agate]

i need help with building my pc, my budget is £1500 (can go up in budget around a couple hundered if there are better parts worth getting) i would prefer buying the things from amazonuk due to not wanting to buy 1 item from a place and waiting a while for it to ship out. its going to be used for gaming, mostly used for gaming. i dont mind aesthetics but i dont want to look in my pc and think "ew this is ugly".

CURRENT BUILD:

bump

Y did u get such a beast cpu but cheaped out on other parts

Get cl 30 ram and for a couple hundred more dollars you can get a much better gpu

[weary agate]

i know little when it comes to this type of things

[weary agate]

do you think you could send me a revised version?

Not as sure about the cooler. But this is a much better gpu

[zealous wagon]

99% sure the cooler is not strong enough, plus this ram is CL36, aim for CL30 or CL32

I'm also unsure how good the airflow is on that case

Plus I'm not sure how that motherboard is, seems cheap for the budget

[dark garden]

stop the cl30 propaganda

[dark garden]

this motherboard is quite ass

[zealous wagon]

For a budget of £1500 having CL36 at 6000 is just wrong

If you're spending that much then just get a decent ram kit at 6000 cl30

[dark garden]

why? explain urself.

[dark garden]

a decent cl36 kit is good.

[dark garden]

may the list not disappear

[weary agate]

this one works

[weary agate]

if i were to get the budget to £2000-£2500 what would you recommend

[dark garden]

switch gpu to 9070xt / 5070 ti

cuz other stuff have a redicilous price rn

[weary agate]

any others like a case with better airflow etc

[fathom marten]

a trip to cyprus

No but fr, go hard on cpu, cooler and motherboard. You can always get more ram or a new gpu later down the road.

this has better airflow

i just like the look of the xr

like the look of this too

[weary agate]

cpu recommendation? or keep the same

[dark garden]

literally the best gaming cpu already

[weary agate]

i see thanks, is this a reasonable price for 5070ti?

[fathom marten]

No gpu prices are reasonable today tbh

I payed that much for my 5070ti, an economically horrible decision but oh well. it was the only one i could find.

[last halo]

I was gonna go 9070 xt but didn’t see any in stock for a reasonable price. What are a few good mobos that I can recommend?

[fathom marten]

Asus makes good stuff

[dark garden]

9070xt is cheaper

[dark garden]

look at the motherboard roundup

[last halo]

Ehhhhh. Hopefully true, but Asus support…

[last halo]

Where?

[dark garden]

[weary agate]

changed the case and gpu

(from my list)

[last halo]

Why 5070 Ti over 9070 XT?

[dark garden]

has dlss4, better ray tracing, is a little stronger

its also cheaper

[weary agate]

gpu not in stock :(

[weary agate]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ygJzHW @dark garden what do you think

[last halo]

Given pricing and availability 7900 xt is your best bet, I think. Looks good

If 9070 XT was an option, I would go with that instead, but for the price…

7900 xt will get close to 9070 xt depending on the task

cooler to this

[weary agate]

what ur the difference

[dark garden]

better and cheaper

[weary agate]

apparently this struggles to fit into the case

what do you think about getting an AIO or something similar

[dark garden]

why would it

[weary agate]

chunky

[weary agate]

also im being told that the cpu bottlenecks the gpu

[dark garden]

by who

[weary agate]

put it through some of those online checkers, and some reddit posts

[dark garden]

they are random num generators

[weary agate]

actually?

[dark garden]

yes

[weary agate]

do you have any idea what the bottleneck would be like?

rn i have a 1080p monitor but most likely will upgrade to 1440p
