Gaming PC - Budget £1000

Hi,

Posted last week about upgrading my PC and it quickly became apparent that I needed an overhaul!

Possible reusable parts include Leadex SuperFlower 850W 80+, 2 SSDs and a HDD.

Could anyone help with the rest of the internals with a case?

Thanks in advance!

Which monitor are you using? i.e. Do you have a plain 1080p 60Hz and would like a better monitor included if possible? Or do you just want the best system you can get for 1K and upgrade monitor (if needed) later on?

I have 2 1080p 60Hz at the moment, quite happy with them.

At this point I think I'm looking for the best system possible please

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Eight Core 4.4GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £289.99
1 x Team Group Vulcan TUF Gaming Alliance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C19 3600MHz Dual Channel Kit - Blac= £79.99
1 x MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £109.99
1 x Phanteks Eclipse P300 Air Midi Tower Case - Black Window= £49.99
2 x Akasa AK-FN062 Apache Black Super Silent 140mm Fan - 4 Pin PWM= £7.99
1 x Arctic Freezer 34 eSports 120mm CPU Cooler - Black / Grey= £29.99
1 x Powercolor Radeon RX 5700 XT Red Devil 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £399.95
1 x Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT Nitro+ 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £399.95

Total: £1,388.43 (includes shipping: £12.60)

Two 5700XT models in that spec, both basically just as good. Look up reviews see which you get a better feeling about.

5700XT is massively overspecced for 1080p 60Hz, but there you go.

The RAM I'd go for is Patriot 3600MHz C17 but at £30 over the Team Group 3600MHz C19 right now it can't really be justified.

Good airflow case for a 5700XT, especially with those two Apache 140s added for the front. Bit low on drive space amount. Could put one of the SSDs "anywhere" really, nothing mechanical in them, leaving one of the 3.5" bays free for if you add another mech drive. You can also add an NVME M.2 SSD to the motherboard. If you need wifi swap the Tomahawk for B450 Pro Carbon instead.
