Sorry, meant to add budget is 1300 max to include the monitor. Also would like these to last a few hrs without having to fork out to upgrade a part. Did look at using the Rtx 2060 but can’t swing that and the monitor. Would an AMD Ryzen 5 5800 perform better than the i7?

Thanks again

You could get a much better PC at a lower cost if you go with an AMD build, their latest 5X CPU's are the best on the market.

An equivalent AMD build would look something like the one below (the more knowledgeable on here will further fine tune it)

If you intend on gaming at 1080p which you'll have to given your total budget and you're happy with 1.256TB storage there's a further £57 that could be saved from this build (1660 super & 1TB HDD) giving you £200 to put towards a decent 1080p monitor. (recommended)

Hi thanks LiamBrown and NurseMorph for your replies, unfortunately I can’t stretch the budget as I have to buy 2 of them, although I do appreciate what your saying re the monitor. Will keep playing around using your improved case and the AMD option. Stepping away from it for the afternoon as my head is starting to spin from all the options. Thanks again

We have decided to get the monitors elsewhere, as there is more choice at other retailers. Need to keep WiFi and existing license. Can I ask why your power supply is so big? And why did you pick the gtx1660 super over the ti?

Thanks again
