Gaming PC

[Floodie91]

Hi Guys, im new to the whole Gaming thing, well i say new but its been over 8 years since i was into gaming on a PC, as value for money wise console was better for me at the time.

 

anyways, im looking to build my own PC, but i want to be able to play games such as fornite on 150+ FPS on high settings without breaking the bank, i went onto overclockers as they are a UK based company and im from the UK, was hoping people could either give me some decent suggestions on where to start or to use the link below to see if the one ive sort of built will work for what i am trying to achieve.

Cheers,

Hello,

 

1400£ is pretty overpriced for a 2700x and 2070S.

[juandeag2k]

This is a good build, however look into getting a faster set of 16GB RAM as it is very unlikely you will need 32GB for gaming anytime soon. You should spend the money saved from RAM and distribute it among the other parts.

Then I'll suggest you to wait, I know that in my area prices have increased for tech stuff (10 to 30% increase).

 

Unless you can't wait and get something more expensive and not as good.

12FPS difference which is really worth it with my build or get a 5700XT which is cheaper than both 2070S and 2080S while being above the 150 FPS you want.

[Floodie91]

okay, so been looking and found another build its saying about having a second graphics card, so if i ran say two 5700XT is that any better? im kinda a noob at this really can you run dual graphics cards together?

Don’t Crossfire. I don’t believe it’s supported by AMD (for the 5700xt), there are practically no games that support, your better of with a 2080 or 2080S.

Dual Radeon GPU’s

[Meganter]

Dual GPU will never double the FPS.

[732]

Going for dual GPU gaming isn't worth it, as not that many games support dual GPU configurations

Yes, I would expect about 150 on high settings.

I feel that the XFX 5700 XT Thicc II PRO or the RAW II would be better though, as they only have a 20 mhz difference.*

*this is on Amazon US

[Meganter]

Bad PSU, meh motherboard, meh GPU cooling wise if it's before the fix and 3600 is better than 2700x for gaming.

No idea about the case.

 

Everything else is fine.

[Meganter]

I'd look into that instead :
