Thanks again for this guys! 7900xtx is seeming like a good shout currently, even if just semi-temporary until next gen RTX arrives - though my indecisive mind will not let me finalise the purchase just yet. As for the rest of the build, I'm putting a basket together based on Tetras' AMD build...

Thanks again guys! Some good food for thought here. Ye this is kind of my reason for asking for advice really. Though I have some pennies to spend, it's just whether its worth paying a vast amount of cash for it or not - especially if the AMD 'equivalent' is not massively far behind for half...

Awesome, thanks guys! It's looking pretty stand out that the AMD CPU is winning the poll thus far (especially with the point about upgrade options for AM5), so will do some more diving in to what to pair that with mobo/ram wise. That's a good shout, thanks. The upgrade isn't super urgent so...

Hey, thanks for the reply. Saving is always nice, especially this time of year but if it's worthwhile to go 'all out' on a 4090 then I can push to that. If the difference is marginal then saving money would be a no brainer I guess. Ray Tracing would be nice but not essential as long as I'm...

Hi everyone, With it being 'sale' week, I'm looking to build a new toy for gaming - lots of gaming (at 4k). Budget is up to about £4k, so a fair amount to work with - my current case (Fractal Design Meshify) will be reused, as well as the current CPU cooler (Corsair H115i AIO) if possible -...

Ok awesome, thanks. Here’s hoping I can manage to grab some stuff on Friday. Thanks again Danny.

Thanks guys. As far as future proofing goes then, the Ryzen 5 3600 is the way to go then it seems. Switching out the cooler to something a little cheaper will help with this too as the aim is to keep the build as cheap as possible, with the hope that this will last a few years without much need...

Brill, thank you. Some food for thought definitely. Size is a key factor in this one too, so I will browse through and see if any of the other smaller cases take their fancy (personally I'm more a fan of the one you have suggested than the one they have chosen). Never really considered AMD...

Evening all, Just needing a bit of advice from you lovely folks on a new build I've thrown together. Primarily it will be used for browsing with a side helping of gaming - WoW, Overwatch, Battlefield 5. Budget is between £600 - £700, though the lower the better with this one. Already have a...

Brill, thank you so much guys, you've been amazing! Will relay all this so that they can discuss at work and hopefully get to building it for him soon.

Awesome, thank you. Looks like there's not a vast amount of difference in the 2070 and 2080 from the AE benchmarks, if this is what he goes for. I will stop asking questions soon I promise, but would it be worthwhile saving some cash by getting the 2070 and putting this into grabbing hold of...

Ye that doesn’t look too bad at all. I think he is restricted in the software he can use (don’t quote me on that though) as it will be used at his place of work, though I will mention resolve as a better alternative. If resolve couldn’t be used, would a 2060 or 2080 suffice for 4K work, or...

So I’ve asked the question and he can’t wait as his current machine is crashing regularly when trying to work. Seems a shame, as Zen2 would have been interesting. With that said then, any recommendations from you guys as to what specs/builds I could suggest to him, would be an awesome help...

Thanks for the welcome! Didn’t even consider AMD to be honest, so if Zen2 will be as good as you say, definitely worth mentioning - All depends how desperately he needs the new build (think he is working from a Mac currently). As far as other components go, any suggestions on what would or...

Hi all, Hoping you can help me put together a new build for a friend, primarily used for editing 4k video (After Effects and Cinema 4D), with a budget between £3-4k (obviously the cheaper, the better). Currently his wish list includes something like the following (though these parts are not...
