Planning a new build and could use recommendations, tips and tricks. I haven't been keeping up on hardware for quite a few years.
I'm upgrading because my old comp is rather old with motherboard, CPU and RAM from 2010. I've upgraded the GPU twice since then (980 at the moment) and added SSDs.
New gaming rig - Main use will be playing games and just surfing the web, watching videos etc.
Playing on my Asus PG279Q ROG Swift, so 2560x1440 at 165 mhz. Only running the one monitor at the moment as I gave my other one to my GF, but will be running another just for browsing and videos in the future.
Playing PUBG smoothly is the fotm goal, but gaming in general at a nice, high smooth framerate is the general goal.
I also want to build a small, and preferably quiet rig.
I'm in Norway, but budget is around the equivalent of 2500 $. A little over is no sweat.
Peripherals and extra storage will be moved from my current rig (2 SSDs).
