Hello everyone. New to the forum and looking for advice about buying a new extreme gaming PC after my 10 year old PC has met its match. It's a big purchase for me and I want to know if I'm being rediculous or if the build I've made is seriously redundant in some way.
The monitor I'm looking to buy is the MSI 27" Optix G27CQ4 - 2560 x 1440, 1MS, 165Hz as seen below. I would like to get a 1440p monitor, at least 144Hz. Not sure how worth AMD free sync is. Should I prioritise AMD free sync?
I'm looking to play some of the latest games such as Red Dead 2, Dying Light 2, and the latest Doom Eternal with excellent performance. In the future I also want to use it for VR and am keen to get into streaming. This system will also be used for work involving fluid and stress simulations along with modelling on fusion 360 and Solidworks.
My budget is a bit wishy washy. I'd rather not spend any more than what it is already costing so approx £3.4k is my max (considering I might need a better cooling system).
Any help you all can provide would be super appreciated. Haven't upgraded in a long time so a bit out of touch with what is priority and what is unnecessary. Been through a lot of the guides on the forum trying to update myself. Thank you for any and all responses.
