Hello all,
So here's the rub. I've just received back pay in work and I'm selling my PS5, so I have money burning a hole in my pocket and I have the itch. Been playing around with the configuration for a couple of weeks, watching component reviews and reading up on builds and I've landed on the below. Now, what I want is to play games on 1440p. I have an AOC Q27G2U 2560x1440 144 Hz QHD 27" Gaming Monitor. And my budget is £2500
My Needs:
Total War: Warhammer 3 on High to Ultra without any issues.
Football Manager with 6 to 8 leagues without any processing difficulties.
Future proof for future releases on each of the above titles.
Also Frostpunk 2, Cities: Skylines 2, Manor Lords, Baldur's Gate 3… you get the point.
Maybe a little streaming. But that's a big maybe.
What I don't do:
Any type of video editing
Rarely play any FPS games
I will probably not upgrade in the future (not technically proficient enough to upgrade parts myself)
I have a couple of questions regarding my build here. I'm seeing the 7800X3D has issues with ASUS motherboards. Has anyone came across these issues? Should I therefore go with the GIGABYTE X670 to be safe?
What's the deal with the 2TB SAMSUNG 990 EVO M.2, PCIe 4.0 & 5.0 NVMe, is it both 4.0 and 5.0? Does it just mean it's compatible with both PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 5.0?
Thank you all in advance!
