Evening all,
Been nearly 7 years since I bought my last PC and back to the experts to help tweak / amend the build.
I use the PC for gaming mainly (Diablo 4 probably the most recent highest requirements, which I obviouslywant to run ultra with no issues) with some multi tasking from time to time while gaming also.
Using 2 1440p 144mhz monitors.
Idea behind the build is to be efficient with both parts and cost (happy to spend a little more if it will give me more longevity or higher performance at good value) but also hopefully have this PC still relevant enough in 4+ years time similar to my last 2 I build.
Specs of my 1st stab below looking at Scott's recent guide have sided with AMD for the 1st time ever both CPU and GPU.
Not really got a budget within reason so if there are improvements to be made happy to pay for them but at the same time happy to drop down if I am paying for nothing.
Any help that you can give would be appreciated as always, any questions happy to answer too.
