First gaming PC - Help

[TheActualAdam]

So I have been thinking about getting a gaming PC for a bit so started specing one out but only know a little about the specs. I need help this what I got so far can you let me know if it looks ok. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/TheActualAdam/saved/rT9h3C

 

1. Budget & Location

 

Preferable below £1500 but i can push for £1700. 

UK. 

 

2. Aim

 

Main aim is to play GTA fiveM and maybe stream a little. But wanna be able to play newer games too on low settings if needed. 

 

3. Monitors

 

I have one 4k 60 29inch but thinking about adding another. 

 

4. Peripherals

 

I have a mouse and keyboard in mind so good for that. 

I will need windows included in price. 

 

5. Why are you upgrading?

 

My laptop is getting old and slow. I currently play games on my xbox but want to get a PC so I can play different games and still do the stuff  I use my laptop for.

The parts list link is private, you'll have to make it public for anyone here to be able to see it.

This is not a system that is going to run 4k well. Going to be good for 1080p.

 

You may be overpaying for the motherboard - your CPU is not overclock capable, so you do not need a Z-490 motherboard. 5600X/B550 may also be a compelling option.

 

Not a fan of the case choice, it may have airflow issues.

Beats your system, but little more expensive. Get a windows key off of g2a or something

Your current build is a good balanced build, but it won't be able to run games in 4k very well unless you lower a bunch of settings.

 

This should play 4K better:

Little overbudget, but this is more of a balanced build. I was thinking the 3070TI would be better, but I feel the vram would not be enough for 4K unless you're just playing older games.

I think you were responding to the OP and in that case I agree, you have suggested a solid set up.

 

Unless we are going into the 3070ti vs 6900xt territory.
