1st Gaming PC Build

1703joe · April 23, 2023

Budget (including currency):

£2000 (Tower + Montior)

Country:

UK/England

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for:

All types of gaming, mainly single player stuff. Cyberpunk, Starfield, Star Wars Jedi Survivor etc.

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):

I'm new to PC building and have a limited knowledge on parts, compatibility and bottle necking etc. I've done what feels like a lot of research but I'm sure I'm missing some obvious stuff here. I'd like to spend max £2000 on the tower and display and it will be used for gaming of all types but mainly single player stuff. Would like to buy ASAP if possible

Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated!

p.s - 4K gaming is the dream but if unrealistic with these parts/budget please let me know!

Hello... With this price range I was not able to add a 4K Monitor but a 1440p Monitor with a Fantastic Gaming PC. I took you from AM4 to AM5 and was able to squeeze in a RX 7900XT!!!. I have been building PCs for 30 years so if you have any questions please let me know.

Go for better cpu, double RAM and double storage. 32GB of RAM is pretty standard for modern AAA gaming nowadays. A lot of AAA companies are recommending systems with 16GB of RAM, and it's only going to go up from there. Storage is a given, because AAA gaming takes up a lot more space than before.
