Hi,

I am looking for a new desktop PC that can run games such as squad and post scriptum at 1440p 144hz with relative ease without going too far over budget.

My current budget for the desktop is £1500-£1800 with a budget of £450-£500 for a monitor.

I have completed a spec on here already which is shown below.

Unsure on which case is best, I have just chosen a standard one at the moment, but if anyone has any ideas on which case would be the best for future upgrades then please say.

I didn't choose a cpu cooler as I have read the standard AMD cooler is good enough but still unsure on this!. However, any recommendations on improvements/budget saving would be very helpful!

Also if anyone has any ideas of a monitor that runs 1440p 144hz well on FPS games, please let me know!

Thanks guys.
 
I suggest you use 500gb at least for the m.2 drive. It can be Samsung or the PCS one. Also, I don't really think there is a need for Artic MX-4 Extreme compound.

Up the warranty to silver (£5 extra) and don't use the bull guard because the windows defender is just as good.

I think the rest is good. You should still wait for an expert to help you.
