    Get a used GTX 980 TI. There around the budget you mentioned and are basically GTX 1070s with slightly lower vram. If you think it will bottleneck your processor, just overclock it assuming you have a Z-Series motherboard. A while back, I had a i5 2500k rig that did bottleneck my 980 ti ( this rig was a while back, I had to sell it so I could afford a server I wanted to build ) but overclocking fixed the problem drastically. Another good option would be a GTX 1070 but there usually a tad more expensive. But since the RTX line-up came in recently, all the previously expensive cards have dropped in value.

    yeah i mean i lost out on the 1080 due to damage. but gtx 1070 should shred 60hz in surround for mmos and stuff, idk if it could do 120hz surround tho would be nice :P,
    the 1660ti seems like something id never o for cause if i was going to latest gen hardware id not be going half assed, im going a £600 total spend so the mobo, cpu, ram and m.2 ssd are on amazon right now for £315.49 and then the plait gtx 1070 which i will get towards the end of the month will be £226.
     
    so im at a total of £541.49 leaving £58.51 for anything else. most likely another 8gb ram stick

    thats good enough for me, the 1440p monitor isnt my own but its one i'll use at my cousins..
     
    i only own 3 144hz 1080p screens tho they barely do 60hz in surround on the gtx 970.

    fatboynate2 got a reaction from nox_ in looking for a mechanical or membrane with white backlight   
    im sold on the MASTERKEYS PRO M WHITE, the fact i can code my own lighting effects with c++ is a major perk. and it ticks every box on my list just found one on ebay with brown switches for £70 with £2.79 postage. also it requires no third party software.
     
    thank you dude.
     
    i never buy unbranded peripherals unless its not crucial they last a while. 
     
    the mouse i use is a utech smart venus mmo mouse with 12 buttons on the side so pared with this keyboard i should be good to go for wow in the sun  since uk weather has been nice so far this past 2 weeks.  
     
    now to solve the issue getting my 5ghz wifi to reach 600 yards to my laptop across the road in the woods. usb wifi with super ac like asus' pcie ones for desktops or some sort of battery powered repeater. will be the only option

    There aren't any membrane TKL boards as I know of, and I tried finding that kind of board for my friend, but no luck. For that kind of budget you have, 50 pounds that is, there aren't many options, maybe buy cheap chinese one with rgb and set it to white? Something like this one : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Redragon-K561-TKL-Mechanical-Keyboard-RGB-LED-Backlit-Metal-Plate-Clicky-Gaming-Keyboard-Blue-Switches-87/32896207996.html but it offers only blue switch, aka clicky and a bit louder. Maybe someone will provide some different ideas. Or get this one : http://www.coolermaster.com/peripheral/keyboards/masterkeys-pro-s-white/  it will be around 80 pounds or less, it ticks almost all your boxes, build quality is great, but no black switch variant, which is good for heavy hitters  I think.
