Hi everyone,
I am currently looking to buy a custom built pc as my current pc (6 years old) is in need of a replacement. I built my last pc for saving money however the price difference now isnt massive from what I’ve heard. I would use this pc for gaming, university work and recording/editing videos. I have a 1440p monitor with 144hz so ideally would like to be hitting that on most games.
I normally go for nvidia however after seeing the price difference for amd cards, am now considering those.
I am UK based and am looking at pcspecialist but if there are alternatives I am open to recommendations
