Custom Gaming PC builds, talk to me….. There’s a monstrous amount to chose from, especially when it comes to motherboards and gpus etc. I always think more expensive is better but in this case I think it’s a balancing game from what I have read up. What builds do people already have and what problems have you had? If you had a choice what would you get. I know components are hard to get atm so is a pre built a better option??

That monitor only supports up to 1440p resolution - it's comparable 4K brother was about £2300 new when it first released and is not being produced any more. Big jump in price and tech. There are quite a few 4K monitors floating around but most are piss poor quality and low-end - they may seem good value but the Hz rate, panel and general image quality is sub-par compared to the upper market. 1440p (2K) isn't a bad way to go especially if you can grab a 144hz+ IPS model for under £500. Many 4K screens now are 31.5'' and above - there's not a lot of basic high-end 4K ones so it can be a bit of a headache trying to find the right one and getting the wrong one can be expensive and impact your experience going forward. You can even grab a 2K one and apply DSR which upscales the image on Nvidia cards. That's another benefit and the 1440p range is very extensive now and good value for money. You'll also be able to run all new games maxed out for probably the next 7 years. Anything with G-Sync and good HDR is a bonus. Even if you get a cheaper temporary monitor for a year or two, it's not a bad way to go. The 4K market is a bit wayward right now with companies trying to grab the console and living room gaming market so a lot of resources are being plunged into increasing size ranges rather than producing typical 28'' quality ones.

Also bear in mind that you will need a extreme-end monitor to get a true benefit - no point in splashing out £3,000 on a rig and then having a £249 monitor from Curry's that does just 60fps and has a poor panel. You may need to spend another £1000-£2200 on top if you're going the distance. Alternatively you can pick up a high-end 2K monitor, run most games at ultra and still have a 3 figure framerate in return. The image wont be as good but the difference is minimal and the price is significant. Chillblast also represent excellent quality and value - this is a great build https://www.chillblast.com/chillblast-next-day-zen-rtx-3080-gaming-pc.html?category_id=529

Ok for srs, this is a good spec: https://www.very.co.uk/pc-specialist-fusion-sfr-gaming-pc--nbspgeforce-rtx-3080-tinbspamd-ryzen-7nbsp16gb-ramnbsp1tb-ssd-amp-3tb-hard-drive/1600660030.prd

Hmmmm. "I just want something good that will last a while and allow me to laude all over the console peasants, I don't care how much it costs" - sound about right? In that case, bosh: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/8pack-orionx2-dual-system-extreme-overclocked-pc-intel-core-i9-10980xe-and-intel-core-i7-10700k-fs-006-8p.html

Start with these questions, but perhaps more importantly, how long does it have to last you, and would you be happy to upgrade it yourself in a few years time? Also, what resolution do you want to play at? That'll define what graphics card you need. Those ones you linked above are silly money, you can get something good for half that.

@Diddums @phil bottle @Greboth @Tar-Eruntalion @RenFengge @TurboR56Mini @cyberninja2601 @BO7H B4RRELS and anyone else to help with some advice and bundles please. Clive I think also needs Intel vs Ryzen advice too. Fanks 🧡

ye for sure some of the bots are crazy in helis and stuff

I haven't played WoW since February and PS2 in about 3 years you dicks 😂

Thank god everyone here didn't spunk 70 quid on Godfall when it first came out. Would be good to check it out now its free!

Yeah man, @Diddums PC has a rare bug whereby eventhough it's pretty beefy, its only compatible with two games, Planetside 2 and World of Wankcraft🙄😅

Love this guy's videos.

Nice, I've just joined Xbox game pass, I figured I can try alsorts of stuff I normally wouldn't touch for very little outlay.
