[PC part sales] Cannon_Foddr:
Well my 10yo+ PC is starting to go wrong - the aging GTX 760 has finally given up & I'm having to use M/B on-board graphics atm, so now's the time to get a new one before anything else goes.

Firstly, I going to say I'm not confident in building the PC myself & like someone else has posted here, I'm well out of date on current technology so I'm planning for a company to build the PC on my behalf - if anything goes wrong in the build they'll have to fix it LOL

In UK while there's a few companies available, not many I've actually heard of but I'm drawn towards a company called pcspecialists to do the build (& yes I know about chillblast, cyberpower, overclockers etc) - & of course this does mean I'm limited to actual components on offer (they're biased towards corsair mainly)

Anyway, I've been trying to catch up on latest tech reading reviews, looking at comparison sites & THINK I have a possible build for my price range (I'm willing to go up to £2000 just for the base unit [after Tax] but currently both systems come to £1600~£1800) but would like opinions to see if I've got it right & possible suggestions (Probably not allowed to post links but you can visit www.pcspecialist.co.uk to see what components they do offer)

I don't really do much gaming (Minecraft is the main game) but I do have a LOT of 3d games (Tomb Raider/Fortnite + a few others) that I got free from Epic Games, but just not been able to play them easily on my old PC - just about can if I ramp down a LOT of graphics details etc but still comes with stuttering

I also do a little bit of photo editing now-&-again along with some Office stuff (Excel mainly) so I don't REALLY need an OP PC but I'd like to try & keep PC's for a while.

- My current PC has lasted 10years+ (so far)

I have been thinking about trying out VR as well (thanks to 'AWolfInVR' youtuber) so having a PC that can handle that would be nice if I do decide

Onto the possible PC(s) specs

If I go Intel route: Intel i7-13700F / ASUS Prime Z790-P (Not the Wifi version.. I really don't have any need for it since PC is cable connected)

If I go AMD route: Ryzen 7800X3D (Read this is pretty good when it comes to gaming) / ASUS Prime B650-PLUS

The rest is the same for both systems:

Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow - Could have a cheaper case, but I like the buttons/USB slot 'up-top' (Case will be sitting under desk)

Memory: 16Gb Corsair Vengeance DDR5 5200Mhz (Yeah, I could go 32Gb but some reviews seem to indicate it's not really worth it)

GPU: 8GB Nvidia Geforce RTX 4060 (Apparently this give better FPS/£ than a 4070 despite the 8GB)

Storage 1TB Samsung 980 Pro M.2 - No real reason, just though having a M.2 instead of a 2.5 SSD might be better for the OS (planning to reuse existing 2x 1TB SSD's for games / music / photo etc)

PSU: Corsair 750W RMe Modular 80 Plus Gold (Not really necessary I believe, but its the cheapest modular PSU they do & I like the idea of not having a lot of cables hanging loose in case)

Cooling: Corsair H60x RGB Elite (Thought I'll have a change & try water cooling, but think a 2/3 fan large radiator will be overkill - don't like RGB either but company doesn't have a water cooler without RGB no I'll make do with just the 1 fan)

Any suggestions/recommendations ??

Thanks in Advance
