any advice on this build? Currently playing Anno 1800c Civ 6, F1 2020. Like playing fallout, GTA etc. Will get this as a decent 1440 monitor.
Budget wise I was hoping for tower and monitor under £2k. Budgeting £350-£400 for monitor so little wiggle room on £‘s.

Can you post the configuration link as it makes tweaking the build a lot easier.

If you are only looking at standard 1440p rather than ultrawide then you really only need the 3060Ti rather than the 3070, but whichever card you need to up the PSU to 750w

Thank you for the advice. That was the monitor I was looking at. Will your spec stay cool enough?

When I use the configurator it was telling me I needed a 550w with my spec and I increased it to 650w. With the agents spec it is saying 450w which seems very low, but why do I need 750w particularly?

Future proofing, this PSU will allow you to upgrade over the years. It's also a unit of much higher quality, full-modular so there's no excess cables all over the place, runs cooler, quieter and is semi-passive so the fan only kicks in when the system is under load (y)
