  • Anyway, I'd like to build a PC, and am looking for specification recommendations, as I've not specced a PC for over 10 years.

    It will be an office machine, but I'd also like to play games when nobody is watching, or I'm on really boring work calls.

    When not playing games, or playing around with big data sets, I'd like it to be pretty much silent.

    And I'll likely be running a 3 monitor set-up, which I'm guessing will mean two graphics cards.

    Does this sound like it fits the bill?

    • Ryzen 3600x
    • RTX 2070
    • Asus ROG X570-F
    • a whole bunch of RAM

    I've no idea if any of these work together, or if they are bottlenecked anywhere - any tips gratefully received

    (Budget is 2k)

  • Comfortably that spec for under 2k.
    Don't need to build your own PC unless you particularly want to.

    Just looking at the 2k figure, if you can find a student to get the 20% then Dell Outlet would do you this for £1972.80 (2055+VAT -20%)

    The 'scratch and dent' is almost always extremely minor

  • A 2080ti is a bad investment at this time as they are still wayyy over priced.
    Not sure why folks are advising against not self building, its just leecy Lego, plug it all in and go! Plus you save loads of money.

  • This is definitely an option that I'll look at.

    It will be through the company, as this will be a work PC, so if it's >2k I can claim the VAT back in any case.

  • This is a pretty darn good spec for the money especially for a few cheeky games when no ones looking brief.
    You won't get a 3x series nvidia card for realistic prices for a good few months.
    New AMD chips are sounding pretty sweet though
