I'd hope it qualifies. The card was bought on https://www.caseking.de/ which looks very much like an authorized r(e)tailer to me. Did not receive a code by them through email. Will get in touch with them to check.

According to Nvidia's website, if you buy a 3080 you should get access to some games. I didn't purchase my GPU through Nvidia directly but still thought I'd get access to these games. I've checked the GPU box but it didn't come with any codes at all. Trying to understand if I just didn't get codes in the box or if there's another way of accessing these games?

1440p mate

Fair enough. If you had ~2k GBP to spend on a gaming pc on https://www.amazon.co.uk/, would you still go down the same route?

Thanks for this, Jeppes. If you get a chance to elaborate a little on your choices, I would appreciate it massively as I am trying to make the best choice and going with AMD was never a consideration until you gave me this list.

Thanks for the feedback! I replaced the Intel Core i7-12700 with Intel Core i7-12700KF instead, great tip.

Budget (including currency): Approximately 2k EUR (fine to go to 2500) Country: Ireland Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: CSGO, GTA; RDR2, Insurgency Sandstorm etc. Other details: This PC will mainly be used for esport titles such as CSGO at a competitive level. I typically do not upgrade components in the PC until it's time to buy another computer. I have had my current one for 7 years and it died on me yesterday. This is my drafted build. I want to check-in with all of you to see if any last amendments or improvements can be made before submitting my order Will the cooler fit nicely at the top position with my selected case? Do I have enough fans? Are all parts compatible? Am I missing anything obvious? I have to order the parts from caseking.de due to it being the best option for Ireland: https://www.caseking.de/save-cart/f000ae0082451691bbd0 Summary of part list: CPU: Intel Core i7-12700 2,10 GHz (Alder Lake-S) Sockel 1700 - boxed Intel Core i7-12700KF CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X63 Komplett-Wasserkühlung - 280mm, schwarz Motherboard: Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X DDR4, Intel Z690 Mainboard - Sockel 1700, DDR4 Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro SL, DDR4-3600, CL18 - 32 GB Dual-Kit, schwarz Storage: Samsung 980 PRO Series NVMe SSD, PCIe 4.0 M.2 Typ 2280 - 1 TB Video Card: MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Gaming X Trio 8G LHR, 8192 MB GDDR6X Case: Corsair 4000D Tempered Glass Midi-Tower - schwarz Window Power Supply: Corsair RMX Series (2021) RM750x Netzteil - 750 Watt, schwarz + Misc like extra fans, some cooling paste in case I need it etc. Total: €2.320 Thank you very much for your feedback.

Of course it runs on a toaster but I'm looking for a build that offers constant high fps with minimal drops. Preferably over 3-400 fps even during intense battle.

I will be buying the parts on Caseking.de (Germany)

Thanks guys. I will be buying the parts on Caseking.de (Germany)

Hi all, I've been out of the PC parts game for quite some time and now I'm looking to get a new PC that will max out frames in eSports shooters, CSGO being the main game. The rig will be used for 80% gaming for the above titles in 1080p @ >/=144hz. It would also be nice to have the ability to do some light streaming on an off-day. Max Budget: €1500-1700 for the PC itself. I'm in the EU. Budget does not include monitors or other gaming peripherals. EDIT: I will be buying the parts on Caseking.de (Germany) Looking forward to hearing your tips and thoughts!

Hi all, I want to build a new PC system that is fully optimized for high performance in CSGO on a high Hz monitor. I have only built one PC previously, and in order to ensure that I get maxed performance out of CSGO, I would love your advice. PC will be used for: 90% CSGO 3% Rocket League 3% Overwatch 3% Hearthstone I'm within the EU and I'm most likely to be ordering from caseking.de. The budget in mind is from €1000 - €1.500 with slight flexibility. Many thanks, Backstreet Glenn
