Looking for Something Great

[Miss Pat T]

Hi
I'm planning to treat myself. I have a budget upwards of £4000 with a budget that can be stretched to include a monitor as extra if necessary. My current PC has lasted me nearly 9 years so far, and still runs well, although it is struggling to run any games from the last 4 years anywhere close to their full potential. I'm looking at a gaming rig that will play everything in the current market, and for the next couple of years, at maximum settings. To be fair, I'm not overly sure what I'm looking at when customising the options in store, and end up maxing everything out, and am not sure whether that's either sensible or necessary. Any help and advice would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

[Miss Pat T]

Thanks for the super quick reply. Half the price of what I was speccing out so really pleased! Would this be a quiet machine?

 

[AgentCooper]

You’re welcome! 👍

It would be fairly quiet, but if you’re the type who prefers a very quiet and discreet system this would be the preferred choice...

Na, I just got there quickly today 🙂

But I would like to take a brief opportunity to give you a huge thumbs up as a new ‘spec helper’ on the forum. You seem to know your stuff and are giving out consistently sound advice. Kudos to you, good sir. You’re more than just an American actor who says wow a lot 👍

I was sort of expecting the G9

Im more suprised you didnt try and flog him a G5

 

[Miss Pat T]

Many thanks for the replies. I see a coupe of components are pre order. I'm guessing the 17-19 days is an estimate or is it pretty good for 17-19days?

 

[Miss Pat T]

Many thanks. Trying to put through an order but it won't allow it as the CORSAIR 1000W AX SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® TITANIUM is currently out of stock. Given that the ETA is 8/1/21, I figured that wouldn't be the rate limiting step
