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...

Understood thank you you guys have been invaluable.

Thanks for the response again :) does the build have liquid cooling? Or would you recommend it? I've never used liquid cooling before so I don't know about maintenance and what not

Sorry to double post, I just want to emphasize that the PC I had before this one was 8 years old, so I'd like this one to be perfect for me it's been a long time since I worried about specs so if anything on the build stands out as bad or incompatible please let me know.

I understand, I have just never had a setup as high quality as the one you suggested, but then again it makes sense with my budget. I'm just afraid of maintenance and taking good care of it for such a price, but at the same time I am desperate to upgrade. Would the monitor arm be suitable for my...

Thank you again! Do you think my budget is a little bit overkill for what I'm aiming for? The games I listed as an example weren't really perceived as "heavy" in this thread... I'm wondering if I could achieve smooth frame rates in those games with max settings with a cheaper build. Do you have...
