Hello!, Spec for 1080p gaming build, gaming and general use only, no overclocking etc. Plan to last around 5 years so no plan to upgrade.
Budget £1500 so im a bit lower than that. (Its not coming up at the bottom but this was about £1375 I think)

Any adjustments to be made? - Was planning on 1440p build but money could be an issue! Plus I have a huge backlog of indie games on steam to play so 1440p wont benefit from that will it?Case

This would be good for 1080p; it would also do a decent stab at 1440p. Most games will render at 1440p if you want them to; personally, that's 100% the direction I'd go.

Would it be worth getting the 6700 XT or 3060 TI if going for 1440p with the only change to the above build, I probably wouldn't change the graphics card for 4-5 years if at all. I dont know if the price jump is worth it, but I dont mind paying £100 or so extra if it worth it in the long run. Cheers!
sck451
MOST VALUED CONTRIBUTOR
Yes, either would do a stronger job at 1440p. There isn't a lot to choose between them in performance for most purposes, unless you're planning to stream. I'd go with whichever is cheaper.

Cheers for the advice, yeah i'll have a look into that and decide, I was gonna buy soon but the motherboard is out of stock until early feb lol. I dont know if any alternative motherboards would be ok but I dont mind waiting.
sck451
MOST VALUED CONTRIBUTOR
For an extra £25, the Strix B550 board would be the best choice. It's actually a much better board and for that little extra it's probably worth it in any case.
Re @Scott's point, as the owner of a 3060 Ti I doubt you'll be turning ray tracing on in any case as the performance hit is too significant and I imagine almost anyone would rather have the extra frame rate than the traced rays. But there's no denying Nvidia are ahead in those areas.
AndySobriety

OK, do you think the 3060 TI is worth it over the 6700 XT just for the DLSS, ive not used it before but Ive heard its great! The Strix B550 you mentioned is out of stock also, I shall wait until they come in!
sck451
MOST VALUED CONTRIBUTOR
Well, the 3060 Ti is cheaper anyway! So I'd choose that.

Hello, Ive changed above build and added strix B550 as recommended and Ive put a 3070 in as my budget is £1600. Ive read some other posts and would it be worth getting AMD 5 7600 instead?, I dont plan on upgrading but I dont really know what benefit I would get with AMD5 over AMD4. Its just for 1440p gaming and nothing else really so i thought id just upgrade to 3070 as its within budget! Is this build OK, should last for 7-10 years I hope!, cheers!

Hello ordered this on the 8th and now going into the build phase, the 5000D case is out of stock until eta end of april, I really dont want to wait another month but I will if have to. Any recommendations for an alternative case, quiet, good airflow etc, cheers!
Edit* - OK so I received the first email telling me the 5000D case wasnt in stock, then another saying the PC was in the build phase (I thought maybe automated email as it goes through the phases), then I wrote this message here asking for case advice. They have just sent another email saying it is in the test phase now so maybe the case out of stock email was a mistake? Ive messaged them but no response yet, it cant be out of stock if its in the test phase can it lol.
