  • 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)

    No idea if you still need this but I have used PC part picker for three home build desktops (one for me and one each for my two sons) back in 2014 and they were all very successful and all three still working today (although I have subsequently upgraded my CPU, SSD and RAM).

    it works well in identifying where you may have selected incompatible items.

  • Cheers.

    I ended up buying from PC specialist. Their build dashboard checks comparability, which is useful.

    Going with Ryzen 5600x, RTX 3080, asus 570 something mobo.

    ETA some time in 2025
