I got this back in 2017 and its served me well.
Long story short is I got married last week and im allowed to get a new PC before we start having kids and all that... So i was wondering if there is any recommendations on what i should go for this time around?

The games I will be playing are Stuff like total war and red dead redemption 2, halo id like to play both at 4k- 60fps plus if not 120.
Any help would be grand thanks :)

Hi there,

Congratulations on getting married!

If you’re looking for a high end gaming PC (and 4K is high end) I would definitely advise holding off a little longer if you’re able. The new AMD CPUs are likely to be officially announced next week, and we have the new generation of GPUs from AMD and Nvidia dropping in a few months, which will offer much better price to performance.

Please could you also let us know what budget you’re working with, and if you know what monitor you would be interested in getting, or already have?

Thanks for the reply !

Thank you :)

I am in no real rush. But I do want to start looking and get an idea on what I should get. Budget wise... Im looking at up to 3k? It will be on fiance. Ive got a nice bit put aside for a deposit. Im looking at spending between £100-150 a month on it.

I am a complete Noob when it comes to all the ins and outs with pc parts. So thanks for the help :)
