Please see below for my current choices, and all help and suggestions gratefully received. A couple of points:
1) I have a 27" Asus ROG monitor, running in 1440p. The monitor shown is an extra one to use with my current/old PC as a backup
2) I use this machine mostly for work, and tend to have a lot of programmes running simultaneously. My current PC is starting to creak a little, as it's seven years old and has a now-slow SSD that I am very keen to move past
3) I am not willing to pay current GPU prices, and I don't really need an upgrade yet. I will transfer my still-excellent 1080ti to this new PC when it arrives and revert the older PC to integrated graphics, or buy a cheap 2nd hand card in due course.
4) Re the RAM - I have recently been experiencing RAM shortages. That might be due to my habit of having lots of Chrome tabs open, but it's a habit I'm struggling to dump, so I'd rather pay a little more and not have to worry.
5) I play a mix of games, many not too demanding, but I like to be able to run whatever takes my fancy.
Cheers in advance!
