Great! Thank you both, that's helped a lot! One quick final question; are the upcoming amd gpus likely to be much better than the nvidia 3000 series/should I wait for the amd 6000 release, or is there unlikely to be too much difference? At the moment all the benchmarks for total war + driver...

Posted here during lockdown and had everything worked out but then life got in the way and didn't order. This time I'll actually get it and stop bothering the forum :ROFLMAO: Upside of the delay is that after a summer of work my budget for both desktop and monitor is now ~ £1800. Will be using...

Ok, this is what I've come up with. Is this balanced and generally ok? I procrastinated a few days and it went up by £50 :mad:. I've saved a quote at this price so it won't go up again for a while but are desktop prices going to keep going up like that? i.e. should I be in a hurry to buy this...

:unsure: It's 1440p? Maybe the link is being odd but the description on amazon for me says 2560x1440. It's one that PCS does, it's the 11th row down in their list, the £303 option.

Not entirely sure about the monitor, the one you linked looks good. Or maybe this one if I go for a flat one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/iiyama-GB2760QSU-B1-G-Master-Adjustable-FreeSync/dp/B071JH67R8 How big is the difference between curved and flat monitors? Also I remember reading somewhere...

Here's a few. It took me a bit by surprise too given the price difference. https://www.anandtech.com/show/14586/geforce-rtx-2070-super-rtx-2060-super-review/9 https://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/gpu_displays/nvidia_rtx_2060_super_and_rtx_2070_super_review/20...

I'm trying to decide between the 2060 Super and 2070 Super (the next option up on PCS). Quite helpfully I found some benchmarks online for the 3600 paired with each of these cards for Total War games, which across the various testers only showed a 5-12fp difference between the two gpus . The...

I'm happy to spend a bit more it it will give a better experience and future-proof a bit. Plus although I play only strategy games at the moment I can't rule out playing other games down the line. If I did go to a 1440p monitor, what sort of GPU would I need, would a 2060 be sufficient or would...

Hi, I’m buying my first gaming desktop, my budget for both desktop and monitor is ~£1000. I play mostly strategy games e.g. Total War, and when I have a pc that can actually handle them I intend to get games like Crusader Kings 2 and BSG Deadlock. I went on google to try to figure out what I...

Hello. I need a new laptop to replace my (incredibly old dell inspiron 1525) current laptop. I will be taking it to uni. I would like to be able to play Total War games at high settings so I know that the CPU is incredibly important thus why one of the two I am considering has a desktop CPU. I...
