    Hi all, Apologies for this, but changed my mind on the spec again, and I am looking for your opinions on the new spec. Configured this pc for my son. Max budget is 3700 euros. Will be used to game on a MSI Mag 27" 1440p, 165hz curved monitor. He also plays vr games on the Vive, compiles maps in...

    Thanks for the heads up, but I am ordering from Ireland and PCS are the only ones currently delivering to Ireland. Local companies in Ireland are even more expensive.

    Thanks for the input. Was trying to get my son to go for the 3070 and i7 12700 to save him some money and to reduce the power draw on the system, but it's his money and he wants to spend it all, lol.

    Max budget is 3700 euro. It's for my son. He currently has a 1440p, 165hz monitor ( MSI Mag 27" curved monitor). He is considering upgrading to 4k in the future, hence the 3080 over the 3070. He also plays vr games on the Vive and uses blender for modelling, and also builds/compiles game...

    Current system is from cyberpower. Living in Ireland and PCS most straightforward to import from after Brexit. Definitely cheaper to upgrade current pc, but he is buying it himself and wants to upgrade the CPU and GPU at a minimum. He wants a 3070 at least and new CPU. Current mobo is b450...

    Thanks for the advice Scott. Apologies, I did mean 1440p, 165hz. Felt myself that 3070 would be sufficient at this point, but was thinking the extra vram on the 3080 might give a bit more headoom for future/ more demanding games.

    Hi, Configured this build for my son. He games at 1440p, 165hz. He also does a lot of compiling and rendering. What are your opinions on the balance of this build to work for 1440p gaming and also for productivity/rendering? Any suggestions to improve on my configuration very welcome. Max budget...
