Hi All,
As you may be able to see from my post history my 4 year old GPU blew and believe its probably a good time to rebuild.
Approximate Purchase Date: As soon as possible really, coffee lake don't seem to be in-stock in many places within the UK at the moment, so that's the only factor really delaying the build.
Budget Range: Around £2000, slightly over isn't really an issue.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Heavy gaming from AAA's, WoW, and other random assortment of titles. Also work as an Junior Engineer which requires a lot of CAD work, having a decent spec computer allows me to work from home occasionally. (Mostly 2D CAD, but occasionally Civ3d and Revit) PC should be more gaming oriented as the working from home isn't very often.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes, plus using my old Benq 27" monitor as an off-screen, thus would love the monitor to be 27" too.
Parts to Upgrade: Everything exlcuding HDD's and SSD's.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, have windows 7 premium, but would like to upgrade to Win10
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Never been done wrong by Ebuyer, so preferably through them.
Location: London, UK
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU, Nvidia GPU (Unless AMD really is the best route)
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe (If the budget allows I guess)
Your Monitor Resolution: Current screen is 1080p 27" 60hz monitor, which will be used for watching twitch while gaming etc. New Screen preferably be 1440p 144hz 27"
Additional Comments: Case window would be cool, also a new Keyboard. Will be keeping old mouse though.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Build is OLD, would rather spend now rather than keep repairing old PC.
What I was thinking so far:
Ebuyer shopping card
Excludes the monitor and case as I have no real clue on these
Any help appreciated, understand you guys must get hundreds.
