Hi, I am looking around at maybe getting a new PC as my current CPUK one is like 5 yrs old.

With the above budget, what is the absolute best pc I can get? I preferably want to have the below case as I like the look of it.

The PC will be used solely for playing games, like cyberpunk, rust, cs2, gta 6 (when its out). Preferably it will be able to run anything.

Thanks for any help.

Would possibly be willing to go above the £2.5k slightly if it means big upgrade, no monitors/mouse/keyboard needed, i have these already

@celest ember thank you, would it be worth for me to go for a 5080 ?

not really

austere moat
#

i want it to be future proof as possible

#

with the 2.5k budgets there's a bit extra there

celest ember
#

the 5080 is 10-20% better than the 5070 Ti but costs £300+ more

the 9070XT costs less than the 5070 Ti but is better

therefore the 9070XT is much better value than the 5080

#

the difference between the 9070XT and the 5080 is less than 10-20% but the 5080 costs £490 more

#

it's really not worth it at all

austere moat
#

is the 9800X3D future proof and allows for upgrades in a few years if needed?

celest ember
#

yeah it's pretty much the best gaming CPU there is, and there's very likely to be upgrades in future

#

Are you able to choose a delivery date or for it to be on a weekend or something?

celest ember
#

yeah there are delivery options at checkout for weekend delivery and such

austere moat
#

Trying to look but can't see, are there any extra warranty/insurance options

ah ty

#

this seems worth?

celest ember
#

not really worth it tbh - the cable management you get with the system is already good IMO

#

Thanks for the help, how long will the config URL last btw?

celest ember
#

austere moat

austere moat
#

i ordered for a sunday deliver and it says expected 18/08, hopefully it will be the sunday after that or before

#

oh wait est dispatch is 18/08

#

usually how long after dispatch is delvierY?

celest ember
#

next-day unless you pick a specific day (e.g. sunday)

#

if it dispatches on the 18th it'll arrive on the 24th (the next sunday)
