Agreed just go for a new build. Knowing how popular the new Rtx line will be, buying a whole custom build with a Rtx 3070/3080 included will be a good way to beat the low stock issue that will occur.

Sorry can't see the specs. Could you post please

What specs do you have now? What kind of games?

Right now you have pretty much hit the limit in terms of pure cores and threads. I can only recommend that you squeeze every performance out of that 6700k by overclocking it.

Yeah you are right about the whole waiting part. My only thing is that we have been on Nvidia's Turing architecture (RTX 20xx series) for nearly 2 years old now. So this isn't just a small increment. And pricing may be good cause there seems to be competition from AMD now. In terms of the...

On a normal day I would have said just purchase the RTX 2070 Super and see if you are happy with the performance. You could save £900 for the time being, and when you are ready, buy a new complete build (minus GPU). But right now, it is currently the worst time to buy a GPU. New cards from AMD...

In all honesty, if 4k gaming is all you you want/need then you don't need to go crazy on the CPU, as most of stress is put on the GPU. Intel officially have the "fastest gaming CPU". But you won't notice it at 4K resolution. And you have to pay crazy money for privilege. You could save yourself...

Didn't notice that i9 10900k reviews are coming out right now. Lol

I would say wait for the new graphics cards by amd and nvidia due for release before the end of the year. If you must get something now or need a reference point then I would say RTX 2070 Super and upwards. The 2070 super would just about handle all games at 60fps on high /ultra settings. Future...

It does seem like the Nzxt H1 seems like overkill for AOE2 and CS:GO. Your basically paying £300 for case, Psu and AIO cooler. Your fist choice would, what type of form factor you want an ITX build. You have Cube shaped ITX case (example Silverstone Sugo series). Desktop/HTPC style ITX cases...

Mobo- Look at the X570 range as they usually have more ports and more i/o options RAM- Generally any top named brand should do you fine (G-Skill, T-Group, Kingston etc). 3200MHz is fine but you might as well go for 3600 MHz since your spending 3900x money. Cooler- The 3900x comes with a good...

There are loads of people like you that are in the same position. So currently all used Core i7 7700 variants are very expensive on ebay (£200+). As a long term investment for PC gaming it is not good, as it pretty much an old dead end platform, with poor value for money. You can spend that same...

Nope. 90% of the recent cases that come out no longer have 5.25" bays. So no more internal CD/DVD Writers. Only option is now external USB CD/DVD writers which are fairly cheap now

With the amount your spending might as well go for Nvme SSD. It's not that much more expensive. Go for something like a WD Blue SN550. Or if you want to save money go for something like Crucial P1 which is actually faster and cheaper (Seen around £100). Only issue that it is QLC and the write...

1440p at 144fps is very hard to run simply put. If you want no compromise to visual quality then you need a RTX 2080 Super or a RTX 2080ti. A RTX 2070 Super or a RX 5700 XT is a viable option, if you don't playing your games at reduced medium settings and not hitting that full 144fps

1440P gaming is mainly dependant on the GPU. 2070 Super is currently the best performing gfx card without being overly expensive. But this loses out to the RX 5700 XT in the value department (I think the 2070 Super is only 10% faster but at £100 cost). At 1440p the speed between the upper...

It all depends on how much you want to spend and what you are gonna be using the PC for. You can move to a slightly larger 24" Monitor at 1080p. The next step would be 27" which is normally 1440p, ideally. Your other thought will involve high refresh rate monitors. 120Hz+ monitors is becoming...

Why do you feel like you actually need the additional RAM? What are expecting the extra will do to your PC? But in general you can get any (Named brand at least) 2x4gb 1600mhz DDR3 RAM. Just get a used one as there should be many available at a decent price

Ryzen 4000 laptops are very new and still coming out as we speak. But general reviews are very positive and from the early reviews, look to be better value then Intel. Example...

Probably the Ryzen 5 4500U and upwards. The R5 4500U is the only 6 core 6 thread CPU for the Ryzen 4000 mobile series. But remember this the U series which means low power draw. So really you should look at the Ryzen 5 4600H which is 6 core and 12 Threads which is obviously more than i5 9600K...
