New Intel Based PC advice

[JimmyDazzler79]

Hello all,

I am looking to purchase a new PC. I ask this question very 4 years or so as I am not so knowledgeable on PCs but love gaming.

1. Looking to play the latest games at a high level of detail.

2. Intel based system.

3. Budget £2000.

4. Would like it to last 4-5 years.

5. Wireless connectivity.

I have a 1440p 144hz monitor already.

Any recommendations would be great. Will probably buy in Jan/Feb.

Merry Christmas
G

Why Intel? There’s not much to recommend about them these days. Check out the thread below for more info...

AMD Vs Intel

So some of you aren't aware of the reasons why so many people are heading away from Intel to AMD, so thought it would be important to lay that out for people to refer back to. A lot of you will go to cpubenchmark or userbenchmark to find performance metrics for CPU's. These sites are complete...

Intel is just what I have always bought. I guess I am one of those people who like to stick with what they have used in the past.

I am open to suggestions for AMD and will have a look at your article you posted above. Thanks

Are AMD a good choice in your opinion?

Yep, I’m using AMD myself and until Intel sort themselves out I won’t be recommending them to anyone. I’ve just knocked up a great pure gaming spec, it’ll last you 7-10 years with the right upgrade path 👍
