Hi guys,
So as per the title, I am looking to build a new PC that is relatively high-end and somewhat future proofed so that I will not need to rebuild for the next 5 years or so.
Why Are You Upgrading: Having used 2 gaming PC's over the last 10-15 years of gaming and spent a large portion of those years suffering poor performance after a few years of use I am now in a position to go all out and build something fast, powerful and long lasting.
Budget: £2,000 - £3,000
Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP
Use Case: Gaming. I play a variety of games such as Rust, CoD, LoL and plan to delve further into open world games including future releases which I aim to play at the highest graphics level. Additionally I would like to create and edit videos and potentially stream later down the line.
Are you buying a monitor: No, already own a AOC G2590FX 24.5" 1920 x 1080 144 Hz Monitor. Although I am open to recommendations that might better suit my new setup.
Parts Preferences: Not particularly, I am open to suggestions.
Overclocking: Do I need this? Not entriely sure I understand the purpose of overclocking but if this would improve performance and lifespan then I would consider it.
