Hi @AleDix, what is your budget and what monitor are you planning on using with the PC?

I've already purchased this, and thinking of buying this monitor, do you think this monitor is good enough

You've asked for feedback, to be able to give feedback we need to know your budget really otherwise we could be suggesting alternative components which push you well outwith your budget.

A 1080 144Hz monitor is a good pair with a 2060.

Your budget is right on the line between a high-end 1080p system and a low-end 1440p system. 1440p is much better graphically...ideally we'd want to be aiming for 1440p 144Hz but your budget is more a 1440p 75Hz which is still better than 1080p.

If your budget (including monitor) could be stretched to £1300), then this would give you 1440p gaming (note this system includes a monitor):

Usually we'd recommend the 3300x CPU but is out of stock currently (however, if you ordered you could always maned your order when the chip is back in stock). Would prefer to have the 550 motherboard in there but that's pushing the cost up further, though you could up the motherboard if you changed to the 3300x chip as the money saved is roughly the price difference between the 2 motherboards.

Thanks, what I done was I purchased just the pc for £996 4 weeks ago and purchased the monitor separately from amazon today

I would cancel the monitor and get a 1440p 144hz one, the iiyama is a good one. That monitor is going to bottleneck the gpu already, plus gives you no room to grow.

Okay thanks, also I'm on a tight budget of £200, I'll just have to upgrade in the future? Also I won't be upgrading the pc any time soon haha kinda skint atm, what my plan is in the further future is to upgrade to 1440p 144hz and then upgrade some components to pc? Or bad idea haha

So, if I'm reading this right:

You ordered the system 4 weeks ago but haven't receieved it yet correct? If so, is it still in pre-production? You are allowed to make changes to your order right up until they start physically building your system without it affecting your lead time or queue placement so, if it's still not being built, you could adjust the specs and monitor

Yeah it's still in pre production, I'm also on a tight budget at the moment of speaking of £200 which I have recently purchased a £183 monitor so budget now been used.

You can get a 1440p 144hz monitor within budget, seriously, cancel that monitor, it’s not a good one.

At 95hz unless your an esports highly competitive gamer the difference between 95hz and 144hz you will likely not see much of a difference. Although I advise 144hz over 1440p the minor differences get very expensive.

So get 144hz 1080p rather than 1440p 95hz?

1440p would be a far better experience. 1080p is really a dead resolution and very restrictive.

Ahhhh right okay thanks, I think it might be too late to cancel my order because its been dispatched, I would've done it earlier but I've been at work! 😳
