I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound naive or obstinate. I genuinely want to learn. I'm just scared, I know for a fact that if I buy the best I won't be let down... atleast I'd like to think I do. Whereas if I went anything below the best there could still be the regret of "why didn't I buy better"...

So you're telling me to either lower the specs, or purchase something higher than 1440p? Also, I'm not saying you are wrong or that it's optimal by any means, but I know someone who has the same specs and uses a 1440p monitor and they are perfectly happy with it, bottleneck or not. But by...

I don't mean to "revert to something incompatible". I'm not adamant on anything I've said thus far that's why I'm here looking for help...

So I think I've made up my mind and I'm going to go with this: Case CORSAIR iCUE 5000X RGB MID TOWER GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Eight Core CPU (4.2GHz-5.0GHz/104MB w/3D V-CACHE/AM5) Motherboard ASUS® ROG STRIX X670E-A GAMING WIFI (AM5, DDR5, PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 6E) Memory (RAM)...

Yeah, I know. It's just that for a 1080p monitor which is what I currently am running, I was told it might be overkill. I just wondered if the same applied to a 1440p. Edit: You're right, I misread the dimensions before... Sorry!

Alright. But while you're here, since I've decided on a 1440p build could we wipe the slate clean and start over? I'm still willing to spend up to £3000, including a new monitor. Would you or Tony care to recommend anything? I've already stated the kind of games I would be playing so I'd like a...

He's not ready to shed just yet...

Ah, but shouldn't I be running Windows 11 these days?

It's the Corsair Crystal 570x, I've had it for about 8 years now lol.

No no windows is definitely still on the PC, I'm just confused at your first message mentioning the windows key, sorry I'm not good at this stuff :(

My last pc came with a Windows 10 (64-bit) Home DVD that I no longer have...

This is how I place my PC next to my desk. Would it cause any issues in the long run? The wires are coming from an adapter at the center of my desk attached to the wall so they kinda do a U turn into the back of my PC. But I placed it this way to give it more room to breathe at the back...

I don't have a windows key. Could I still go ahead with this build? Also, I think I've decided to go for a 1440p setup. Would you still recommend this build or would you change anything? Thank you (Sorry to double post I'm just having a hard time making up my mind before I spend such amount of...

I'm curious, do you guys prefer to have your PC on the desk alongside other things, or out of the way on the floor? Are there any particular benefits for each place? Me for example, I have my PC on the floor on top of a stand so I guess technically not floor but you get what I mean :P , I know...
