Thanks! That tracks with what I read on reddit where pre-builds are known to have cut corners on some parts to make the whole thing look more affordable.

Can anyone please share their thoughts on this pre-build: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/computers-for-next-day-delivery/1653/ It's what PCspecialist recommended for me. Is it worth considering?

Additional question on the GPU - I've realized that there are always a few brands making the same part, so for RADEON RX 7800 XT I see people mentioning Gigabyte, Sapphire, Asus etc... but on PCspecialist it doesn't specify this? AMD is the manufacturer here and Radeon is a product line?

Thanks Scott! I've also asked PCspecialist customer support for a suggestion, so curious if what they come back with would be much different to yours. Out of curiosity - is it always better to configure everything from scratch (I did this the last time around too) or does it ever make sense to...

Thanks! And if I need to spend a bit extra that's fine too. I just want to use Space Marine 2 as my benchmark to build towards, as 99% of my time is spent playing older games that my current PC runs great. How important would a new monitor be? Because in all honesty, I really doubt I can tell...

Oh wow... what budget would I need for those recommended specs?

Fantastic, I appreciate all advice! My monitor is ASUS TUF Gaming VG249Q and my max budget is £1,500. I don't need to max out on my budget, the game I'm using as benchmark for my new PC has a recommendation of: CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X / Intel Core i7-12700; and GPU - AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT /...

Sure, you guys talked me out of trying to work with what I currently have, so I'll just keep trudging through various advice online, until I figure out a brand new PC. The mountain of options and variations of parts is already giving me a headache o_O Also, you guys advising to sell my PC and...

Fair enough, I think I really tunnelvisioned on upgrading over than buying everything, as the latter will be a massive pain due to how many option that opens up. I'll build a brand new PC for about £1,500 and try to sell what I have. I'll use the advice you kindly shared in your earlier post...

Fair enough. I probably came off pissy, but I do really appreciate everyone's willingness to offer advice. After considering my options and what you guys said so far: I don't even want a more expensive system. I can afford one, but I don't understand why would I spend more on a PC. I just...

I can also save up for a few months and spend even more :LOL: I appreciate the advice but it's so impractical

Nah, upgrades didn't change, just wanted to double check since I have no clue about this stuff. They said £1.4k for the above.

Is changing my current ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PLUS that much advantageous? Because this mobo isn't that bad, I'd prefer to leave it in and I won't have to hassle figuring out how to assemble my whole new PC just relying on pcspecialist to do it for me. This is the upgrade I've been advised...

Do you think even my case needs upgrading though? Also, I've never sold a part in my life, is there someplace you can recommend for that or is it the standard ebay/fb marketplace combo?

I gave up on thinking of a small upgrade and I'll just shell out around £1,500 on getting everything upgraded. Just need to figure out whether I can still keep my mobo or not and whether I want to put it together myself.
