Hey readers of this! I am looking to get a new PC alongside a desk, I do not want to be spending much, yet would like something that runs well! I make 50 quid a week, and would like to buy something by January meaning my budget would be about 1500 Euro if I save up from christmas and other events too. I am looking for a pc with good storage, something that feels right for a developer and also a gamer, I would like to have something that could run the new flight simulator and has 16GB ram! 

 

Thank's to everyone who leaves me a suggestion!

RTX 3000 series?

I could look at a few builds with this, I seen one for 1.3k and it does look good but I wouldn't know much about builds so I would like other's to give some thoughts too!

Ask the question again when you are about to buy one. Everyone is releasing new hardware in that timeframe.

I rather decide now then work towards getting it, I won't really be looking for anything new, like hardware, I am fine with what is out there right now!

Just work towards you 1500 budget. Deciding now on parts is a very bad idea because they are all being replaced and may not even be available come january

I don't know if that's a good idea, you could get hit with a buyer's remorse. Not necessarily for the performance but for the coming price cuts.
