Hi I’m getting my first gaming PC coming over from the Xbox series x, finally wanted to upgrade to the master race. I need help building a Pc I’m using pc specialist and have around a £3000-£3500 budget and will be using it for gaming. I play a lot of games ranging from FPS to MMO to open world single player games and am thinking of getting a 4k 144hz Samsung odyssey monitor. Could you more experienced guys help with with a good build that can run all games pretty smoothly would be hugely appreciated😁

Thanks bro, how big of a difference ingame would the 4090 be to the 4080 super ik its quite a lot better

How come you used two different SSD brands also is that beneficial @brazen trench
Your a legend bro
brazen trench
So 990 is a very good fast drive, which is what you want for your boot drive. The P44 is also a good brand, maybe not as performant as the 990, but it's cheaper, so makes for a good games/data drive
You could even go P44 for the boot and not notice the difference tbh
unkempt imp
Could I do both 990 because it only adds on a tiny bit in price or isn’t it worth it @brazen trench
brazen trench
If you have money to burn.... sure
unkempt imp
I just wanna try future proof it too
I don’t wanna have to upgrade for a while is all
brazen trench
I might put the money towards the braided cables though, will make the build look much better
unkempt imp
Yeah 100% I’m doing the pay within 12 months no interest scheme anyway not paying it in full
With a bit of a deposit
Just a monthly payment for me which won’t dent my salary too much as I’ve stopped drinking like I used to😂

Gives you a starting point. But with a 3K-3.5K budget, you can easily get the best CPU and GPU and then just build your case and fans etc around that

Yeah, I changed the second ssd to 2tb 990 too same as the first and added on gold warranty because for the extra little bit I wanna know I have the warranty there should I need it. It looks like a monster build that and comes in at £3.6k
I’ll keep that build there but I might wait until the new cpus are out in 11 days to see if it’s worth that upgrade or just keep the 7800X3D instead
@brazen trench just 1 more question, would the 8 cores hinder me in anyway doing other things, I wouldn’t be using it as a workstation
Like for general use
brazen trench
Not at all
tepid hedge
for basic office/browsing 2-4 cores are all you need, but the 8 cores give extra flexibility for background tasks, and the handful of applications that do want a few more cores

the rx 7900 xtx is better than 4080 super so why not rx 7900 xtx
odd fox
the rx 7900 xtx is better than 4080 super so why not rx 7900 xtx
Because they wanted an Nvidia card
open hazel
Because they wanted an Nvidia card
is nvidia better ?
I mean the 7900 xtx has a better performance but is nvidia for example has a lower temperature or something ?
meager notch
If you want ray-tracing stuff then the NVidia cards definitely win
unkempt imp
the rx 7900 xtx is better than 4080 super so why not rx 7900 xtx
I’m going for the 4090 now
