Hi, I am looking to get a new PC as my current PC is 5 years old and has been struggling recently running AAA games on high setting and heavily modded games like Skyrim while multitasking on 2nd monitor.

Purpose: I am looking for something that I can use for the next 5 years without upgrading (objective is 1440p/4k gaming on high/ultra settings for AAA games but still able to get high FPS on competitive games. Ability to multitask other items such as discord streaming/calls, video streaming, web browsing or small games is also important) and general work as well. Planning to also get a new monitor. Most played games include League of Legends, Escape from Tarkov, Civ 6 and 7, modded Skyrim, BG3 and Total War Warhammer 2/3. But also want to play AAA games like Black Myth Wukong and Elden Ring with the new PC

Budget: Total budget is ÂŁ2500 (current idea is roughly ÂŁ2500 for new PC and ÂŁ500 for new 1440p/4k monitor). Unsure about monitors atm trying to get PC spec sorted first. But if anyone has any good recommendations let me know!

Country I am purchasing this from the UK

Brand Preference None, more concerned about best performance to cost within above budget

I will add the specs I am looking at and the case below which currently is a bit over budget. I was leaning towards 5080 super but that is out of stock so might look at 5070 ti. Not sure if other areas of my PC would be a bit overkill for a 5070 ti in comparison to 5080 so curious to see if anyone thinks there any potentials saving / efficiencies I can make to current build if I swap over to 5070 ti.

Any case recommendations from the ones available via PC specialists would also be welcomed!

Yeah I think price was not why I was considering 5070 ti instead of 5080, more that 5080 is only pre order atm and not sure how long it will be out of stock for

#

I was thinking 27-32 inch for a new monitor, thanks for the recommendation

chrome quartz
#

Our lord and saviour MiBu says 27 1440p and 32 4k

solar sand
#

Yeah makes sense i think I just need to decide if I want 1440 or 4k then

chrome quartz
#

Suppose if you could source a 5080 soon you could order without a gpu but I would probably just go with the 5070

#

It's a whole lot easier if everything comes from the one place

solar sand
#

Yeah agreed, I will look at a few 5070 ti performances review at 4k and see how it hold up first. If 5080 is still out of stock for another week or 2 I will probs go for 5070 ti
