Need a £3000 gaming pc

[Tricklix]

Hello, this is going to be my first gaming pc (bye craptop 15fps) and I am looking to go all in. Don't bother with a CPU cooler, I'll use an EKWB custom kit.

Also, any advice (£1000 budget) for Monitor. Mouse, Keyboard, Mousepad and Headset.

 

Edit: I'll listen to everyone, what do you recommend to me?

[stealth80]

Is it 3k total or 3k + 1k for the monitor etc?

You don't need 3000 pounds to get a kick-ass gaming PC. You could add more drives, another 1080, etc to get up to 3k, but this is what I recommend.

isn't broadwell-e better than 6700k?

[Gruenbaum]

I don't think you need to spend 3000 euros on the computer parts itself. Get good reliable parts. (Top of the line of course) and make your room sick! Get sound proof paneling and posters. Custom desk! Make your room yours and the PC can always be the best for what you will ever need! 

 

The list above will forfill your needs for what you will want.

-> gIving the exact same performance as your previous PC with a second 1080 but if this dude wants to blow money then why not...

Why do kids these days just want the best of the best even though they don't need 50% of the power it could deliver.

I know im asking too much, I want 1 EVGA Classified 1080, could you upgrade other parts for me please?

[Gruenbaum]

I have a 1080, this one actually. I can run everything at max settings in 4k no problem. The card is super powerful. You could make your room and the area around you sweet with money left over! Do you have a gaming chair?

I left the GPU out but I would suggest a 1080, however there is room in this budget for a titan XP

 

If you wanted to lower the budget a little I would go:

BTW I have a job and second, why not? I'll play GTA V Ultra and more.

@OP, you are spending too much on this PC to just get one 1080. You can get either build I recommended, but you do not need to spend nearly that much on components. Save some money, custom cooling is expensive.

How would a build be if im spending £4k in everything (pc, mouse,headset,keyboard,mousemat, chair)

It is also a lot of work to maintain. Use closed loops like h100i

note - cost to performance is terrible at this price point.  You could spend half the price and get a PC that isn't noticeably slower.

I'll have a look at those chairs, thank you for your advice. This vs DXRacer vs AKRacing?
