First of all I greatly appreciate your input here Spyder. To be honest, I don't think I'm very partial to curved monitors, never tried one personally but I think I'm just too used to straight ones at this point. Any other monitor recommendations for the build you have provided? Thank you again :)

Copy that, thank you again!

If you're willing, you could attempt to configure me a build including a monitor up to £3000. That way I could use my old monitor in a dual monitor setup... I believe you understand what I'm looking for when it comes to game performance, I typically only play games in my free time so you can...

Well the thing is I don't even plan on using ray tracing or vr, infact I deliberately lower my graphics in some games because I prefer to have less "clutter" if that makes sense. So with that being said, is your recommendation still solid for what I'm looking for when gaming? I more or less...

I'd like to add something else if you're willing to answer, what made you recommend a NVIDIA card over AMD? I would love to know the reasoning

That's excellent news. I've never gamed on anything above 1080p, so that's what I'm used to... But, if I can comfortably play 60fps Elden Ring (it's locked to 60fps without mods) and for example 144 to 165fps in other games without any stutter or frame rate drops within reason, then I think I'll...

Understood, and if I may borrow your knowledge for another question, are you certain that this rig could reliably run games likes the ones I listed on max graphics with little to no stutter? That's one of the things I care about the most... Stability and consistency. Thank you again :)

Yeah it is indeed a 1080p monitor. I could upgrade, but I didn't feel a need to do so right now, I do enjoy this monitor as is. Regarding the 4070, I heard it is a very hot card so I'm worried about overheating, did you also account for that aswell with your recommendation?

Thank you for your reply Tony! And no, I don't overclock at all. As for SSD, this is what I had on my old machine 1st M.2 SSD Drive 256GB SAMSUNG SM961 M.2, PCIe NVMe (up to 3100MB/R, 1400MB/W) 1st Storage Drive 1TB SATA-III 3.5" HDD, 6GB/s, 7200RPM, 32MB CACHE I'm... Not sure? I just plug in...

I'm looking to spend up to £3500 on a new PC that I plan to use for heavy gaming. What I mean by heavy is lots and lots of long play sessions under load, so I'd like my PC to stand the test of time. I play games such as Elden Ring, Destiny 2, Final Fantasy 14, Borderlands 3, GTA 5... "demanding"...

Oh sorry, I'm using a 165hz 1920x1080 monitor

My peripherals are already covered, I just want a PC recommendation

Hi all, I'm looking to buy a brand new PC. I play games for around 5-6 hours a day and I want a PC that can stand the test of time for the games that I play. Examples are Elden Ring, Destiny 2, League of Legends, Borderlands 3, Final Fantasy 16 Online etc. I'd like to be able to play these games...

I bought a new monitor the Acer KG241YAbii, 24", 75hz, 1ms. I'm using a HDMI cable connected to my GPU aswell. I fired up a couple games, Destiny 2, Elden Ring, League of Legends as some examples, and it just looks horrifically blurry like when I move my camera around it's as if I have a motion...

I clean it out monthly with a can of compressed air.

I've attached it to this reply.

I was playing Destiny 2 and all of a sudden my PC shutdown. It booted back up immediately so I'm not sure if there were any signs of overheating. But ever since that shutdown it takes a long time for my GPU to cooldown after gaming, before the shutdown it would usually drop down to about 30c...

I believe I updated from Windows 10 version 1803 or 1809 to Windows 1903. As far as how I did the update, I just did it through update and security check in Windows settings and everything was seemingly smooth during the update.

I've been reading through my manual that came with the PC and it says things like "If there are no problems with the current BIOS, DO NOT manually update the BIOS" and "Manually updating BIOS can lead to system failure to boot" - That's the thing, as of right now I can't see any problems with my...

Yeah it is, I bought it back in 2017 with a three year warranty but that is over by the looks of things.
