Advice on new build

Budget (including currency): £1500 (Pounds)

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: AAA Games. Got a 1440p 60hz monitor

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

Not bad, but the case has no airflow and the motherboard isn't great. I also added a bigger PSU

Changed GPU to 3070 Ti. Same performance for gaming, faster at RT and non gaming tasks

Not a big fan of the case, not sure if you really *need* the HDD.

Data storage -- then and now | Computerworld

 

I bet when that 5mb HDD was new people never thought they'd fill it up. I'm currently using 3.4TB out of my 4TB on my current machine.....

Fair enough, I have 3 TB of NVMe storage on my machine.

 

That said - beyond that I would suggest going for NAS rather than internal HDD storage.

Is 3070ti worth it over 3070? I wonder if one were to cut some corners here one could get to a 3080 instead of 6800XT 🤔

With a mATX board a 3080 would be possible.

Do you have a system at the minute ? 

 

I personally wouldn't buy a 3070 ti/3080 as the 4000 series could be out in July if rumours are true.

@Gamer Schnitzel Not sure why my reply amuses you ? If you don't agree then maybe you should share your opinion ?
