Hi there

I am looking to get a gaming PC that can run Arma 3, COD and some other simulation games (cities skylines 2 etc) on 1440p.

Didn’t you recently buy a PC with very similar specs?

My first gaming PC

Yeah mate no, the case is terrible. It looks great but it's horrific for airflow, it's basically an oven The CPU is 2 years old now out performed by the similarly priced 5600x Odd M.2 mixed with HDD storage 750W RMx is fine. We usually recommend the 850W just so that every GPU is an option...

That's a 3 generation old CPU on a dead-end platform (so no upgrade potential). We're onto the 9000 series CPUs now.

However, if you have picked AM4 platform for a reason, the 5700X3D is the best gaming CPU available for that platform. There are benchmarks showing the current gen 9600X lies somewhere between the 5700X3D and 5800X3D in 1080p gaming, and the 5800X is below them all.

If you want to play at 1440p, and want current gen components, then 1440p starts at £2000 (if the 7800X3D is available).
