Hi all,
Looking at putting together a new build. Paired with a 4k 144HZ monitor, most likely the LG 27GN950-B. Will be mostly used for AAA games, RPG's and similar.
Couple of questions though regarding power supply and cooling. Re. The power supply I'm assuming that the 1000W is what I should be looking at rather than the 850? Both seem to go through the configurator though.
Regarding the cooling I have no idea what to select, could someone make a recommendation for me here please and explain why?
Budget for the desktop itself is £3500.
