My Build - PC Part Picker
So after spending the last 12 years as a console gamer i fancied something new. My old PC was a FX 8350 4ghz, 8gb RAM, 1050ti. I initially created a 'cheaper' build which consisted of a Ryzen 5 2600 and a RX 580 and although that performed very well i decided to sell what i had, fortunately a friend wanted an upgrade so i sold to her and bought something a little more powerful.
I sat on the fence for days on whether to choose a i7 8700k, i7 9700k or Ryzen but in the end i went for a Ryzen 7 2700x and it was just a price factor. Although i could have bought a i7 with an AIO Cooler, my 2700x was £319.99 with a cooler and a i7 8700k or i7 9700k with an AIO cooler was almost £560 and that extra £140 meant i could get a better quality graphics card. Yes i will get an AIO cooler when i want to overclock but for now i'm happy as it is and runs great stock.
The graphics card was another decision. I did go for a Gigabyte 2060 Windforce OC in the end which i am happy with. I didnt want to spend an extra £50 on one with RGB lighting, although it would have been nice, there is enough RGB in there :)
Im sure my RGB wont stay as a unicorns wet dream but i cant decide how to have it just yet.
