Hey folks,
Been awhile since I've been on here. I'll be moving soon and I was planning on getting a new pc for when I've moved instead of lugging my older one. Side question: What do people generally do with older PC's? Does PCS do any trade-in things or anything like that? Doubt it but hey ho gotta ask I guess.
Anyway the PC will be mostly for gaming, likely 1080p but might go 1440p if the build can sustain decent performance. Also may be doing some photo editing/ Photoshop work but more a hobby thing rather than a work thing. Ideal max budget is £1800 but reducing where I can would be nice if the performance doesn't suffer too much. The price on the build at the moment is closer to £1900 but it's to do with the SSD.. I don't really know much about them, what's the difference between the 870 QVO and the 970 EVO m.2? Is the performance difference worth the difference in price? If it helps my current SSD is a 500gb Samsung 840 EVO.
Edit: Price with the 870 QVO is £1756.00
Also not really too keen on any of the cases under £100, might provide my own but that's roughly what I'm willing to spend on a case.
