Help Me Build a Gaming PC Under £2000
Asked by

Hey everyone! I'm planning to build a gaming PC primarily for racing games like Assetto Corsa, ACC, and LMU, along with some Warzone and the occasional title like Assassin's Creed or Cyberpunk 2077. I've put together a list of parts that I've been considering, which you can check out here: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/F7pdcx. I'm open to any recommendations you guys might have! I'm also thinking about possibly starting with a smaller SSD since I can always upgrade my storage later, especially since I have some hard drives I can pull from my current laptop.

Check out this build I put together: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/mJ2FrM. It's a bit cheaper and uses the 7800X3D, which is significantly better for gaming—about a 15-25% performance boost depending on the game. I also upgraded your RAM and chose a more affordable 5070. If you want some more performance without breaking the bank, consider the 9070XT for just £150 more; it's about 15% better than the 5070. But if you want to stick to your budget, the 5070 Ti is also a solid choice.

You can definitely build a solid system with a 5070 Ti for under £2000. I wouldn't recommend going with the Intel chip you picked; the 9700X performs similarly but is way more power-efficient and is built on a better platform. Plus, I noticed that the 7800X3D is on sale right now on Amazon UK, and it greatly outperforms both for a small price increase. Also, switch your RAM from CL36 to CL30 for better performance, and skip the liquid cooler—just a good air cooler will do the trick and save you some cash!

GamerGeek42: Thanks for the suggestions! I set it up this way: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/YZp9Qd. Do you have any other recommendations? I'm thinking I might switch to the 5070 Ti if it's available.
BuildMaster1: Looks good! I'd just recommend checking the reviews for the 5070 Ti to see which brands are reliable. Good luck with your build!
