Gaming PC - 4K

[Matto]

Hi there,

I am very new to PC gaming, but am looking to put together a PC good for streaming and able to play games in 4K.

I have a budget of around £2300 for the PC itself and am looking to get a decent size 4K monitor.

Any help would be great. Thanks!

Hi again, sorry to reply to myself, but would super appreciate and advice. Thanks so much! Sorry again

Anything other than the RTX 2080 Ti as a graphics card will struggle to do 4k 60fps on the latest games (high/ultra settings). Trust me, I have one, and even that struggles with some games.

 

[SpyderTracks]

I would also suggest a minimum of the h100i cooler on that chip.

Plus at least silver warranty for a fiver.

Plus upgrade the psu to TxM series as the VS series are budget and not designed for high end systems.

But yeah, you’d need a 2080ti for 4K 60hz.

 

[Matto]

Amazing, thank you so much, I will make those changes including the sliver level warranty!

Made a few changes which takes you over budget but it's a phenomenal system...

Thanks so much, I think I will go for it!! Do you have any recommendations for a good monitor to go with the PC? I’m happy to spend £400 - £500. Again thanks so much for your help

The Acer predator in my system is perfectly adequate at that budget. Amazon seem to be doing some good deals atm, may be worth holding out for prime day as well.

Amazing, thanks again
