Any improvements to making this more budget-friendly?

[ebojony]

Please help me !​

Hi all ! I'm new to the PC-building business, and was wondering if I could get some advice. I would like to see if there are any recommendations/changes that you'd make to the spec below to assist me in making this PC more budget-friendly whilst maintaining the performance I desire. I occasionally stream, but almost always have a plethora of tabs/apps open at once when using PCs, so it needs to be able to handle that. I'd like a PC that can run 4k easily, with little to no drop in framerate if possible. I'd like quite a lot of storage, minimum 1TB. My budget is max £1500/£1600 for the perfect PC. Aesthetics being considered would be great too (I love the look of white PCs with LED lighting)!

Basically, a high-performance PC that I won't have to make changes to in the near future, capable of running 4k with little issues within my budget - I am aware I'm r e a c h i n g lol.

Thanks in advance guys

Hi all! Pls help me; I'm looking to buy a new gaming PC, and I'd like one that's high quality but equally budget-friendly. Could someone pls design me a PC that's capable of running 4k at a high framerate? My budget is preferably under £1500, but I understand that'd be difficult, so can budge to £2k for the perfect PC (but would really prefer not to). I also tend to run lots of tabs/apps at once and occasionally stream so something that's able to handle that too would be fab.

For reference, I'm planning on playing a variety of demanding games on it, including MW3, Overwatch, TS4, and Cities Skylines 2.

Bonus points if it's white with LEDs!

You’re going to really struggle to put something together that’s capable of running anything in 4K with that budget, unless you cut A LOT of corners, which no one here would advise.

What monitor are you going to use? If you need a new one, what is the budget for that?

Hi @ebojony if you take a look here: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/foru...posting-collaboration-of-helpful-hints.77691/ there are some handy questions which are always asked and really useful to really help to spec out a rig.

I've moved the new thread you created back here, its best to stick to one thread for advice so everyone who chooses to help has the same information and can get all of the history easily.

I'll leave any proper spec suggestions to others but for my 2 pence worth, always remove Norton and always have (at the very least) silver warranty.

I’m afraid this just isn’t possible.

no matter what GPU you fit now, that will be the first bottleneck that will need replacing, roughly every 3 or 4 years, nothing you can do to avoid that, that’s how gpus work.

For resolution, 1080p you’re looking at roughly £1500, 1440p - £2000 and 4k - £2,500

The card you’ve picked above, the 4060ti is a 1080p card. It will just about manage 1440p, but certainly not at a “gaming” level. For 4k though you’d need a 4080 Super which is £1000 just for the gpu
