Howdy all,
Looking at buying a high-end gaming rig to play the modern AAA games at 1440p 144hz at maximum settings (within reason...). I need to be able to connect the PC via wifi as my router is no where near my desk.
My budget for the PC was £2500 so I can then have some money leftover for a monitor, so the total overall is less than £3000.
I'm torn between the ultrawide monitors or just a really good 27" - understand this will impact on the GPU?
The bits I have guessed are the variety of SSDs avaliable, PSU and RAM (should I get 32GB now?)
This is what I have spec'd for the PC. Many thanks to all
