Ok I've made a few adjustments, replaced the 3080 with a 6700XT, as you aren't going to benefit anything by pairing a 3080 with a 1440p monitor, I've also changed the motherboard to the Rog Strix, and tweaked the storage a little.

thank you i went with 3080 as my rental gaming pc with 3070 means i have to play med/high and dip under 120 depending on map area so thought a 3080 would help me play high/ultra i am not a major amd gpu guy

warzone driver 466.63 using amd ryzen 5 5600X rental is £110/week so decided to just buy a gaming pc instead
You realise Warzone has DLSS, so you should be averaging around 200fps with 1% lows of over 144fps.

That's with the 3070.

A lot of people don't understand the point of DLSS, you're supposed to use it, it's not properly configured without it enabled.



So either your system isn't configured properly or you have a hardware issue.

Or it's related to you broadband ping rather than the PC performance.

Looks like a good build from Martin although I'd configure things slightly differently

Stepped back down to the TUF X570, I think general consensus is TUF X570 is paired with 5800X and STRIX X570 is paired with 5900X- although you have room in the budget so if it's an asthetical choice then that's fair enough. Then I've gone for a 3070 instead of 6700XT. You'll get better performance from the 3070 plus all of its fancy NVIDIA features and better encoding for streaming if I'm correct? Also swapped to the PCS SSD instead of the Corsair. Think it's been found recently that the re-write performance of the Corsair isn't great and once games are on SSD (which is what I assume this drive will be used for) loading times aren't all that different anyway (seen here). Also something to note, the Meshify S2 is HUGE front to back, the more normal size case would be the Meshify C which is still a lovely option and saves a few £

thanks dlss causes issues for me so it’s currrntly disabled i am getting same issues ask husk and Isaac who use 3080 and a 3090

my discord buddy is Ryzen 5800X + EVGA FTW Utra 3080 + 16GB 3800Mhz B-DIE overclocked - playing in 2k rez with most settings in low/normal and SMAA 1X - 150-170fps

thanks! monitor arrives tomorrow, seem I paid £747 for a 3070 w/ PSC. wish i could get FE £460 but i missed the restock Friday cause...bots!

£94 extra for the asus rog strix 3070 worth it since already paying £747 for a Palit/Zotac?
At that markup I’d say the strix 3070 was well worth it.
 
no-gpu £1,461
3070 £2,208 (+£747) i assume Palit/Zotac
strix £2,302 (+£94)

So £747 for a palit/zotac PCS are charging

will try and change my order to a strix today assume that has a longer wait time
