Hi Guys,
I grew up as a PC gamer in the 90's/early 00's as my dad was well into his PCs (loved Doom/Quake/UT etc), but it's always seemed so expensive and daunting looking for the right machine, with all of the options available for each component! Having been a console gamer for the best part of 15 years I'm totally out of the loop on this.
Anyway, after some research over the last 2 weeks I've used PC Specialist to make up the following Spec desktop for just under 2 grand:
CASE: Corsair Obsidian Series 500D SE
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12 Core
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS ROG STRIX X570-F Gaming
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3600MHz (2 x 8GB)
GRAPHICS CARD: 8GB AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT - HDMI, DP - DX 12
STORAGE: 1TB Samsung 860 QVO 2.5" SSD, SATA 6Gb/s
POWER SUPPLY: Corsair 750W RMx Series Modular 80 Plus Gold Ultra Quiet
COOLING: Corsair H115i Pro Cooler w/ PCS Ultra Quiet Fans
WN: Wireless Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200
USB: 2x USB 3.1 PCI-E Card + Standard USB Ports
No Monitor yet but i have 2 weeks to look at them. I have an old monitor i can use in the meantime if i can't find a decent offer for one. Open to recommendations!
Let me know what you think, I approached this as a novice so happy to hear thoughts.
Many thanks
