AMD BEST BUY (FAC6) - Ryzen 5 7600 - RTX 4070 - AMD 7800XT - 16GB DDR5 - 850W Gold - 1st Player Case

From the Prebuilt sector, Absolutely

£110 PSU(lots of boosting laters), £185 CPU (new gen), £50 Ram(option to double), £40 Case(entry, mean cash in other things, its mesh) A620(4.0 board, £80 entry, cash elsehwere) £50 storage with market, (Low Gen4, cash elsewhere) £475 7800XT / 4070

as for 7800XT VS 4070 "YouTube it" lots of pro vs cons on either side in the battle.

Most folks are aware of the storage issues, but it's getting better, part costs are decent around than before in other fields, and these are reflected in passing that on with changes.

but the prebuilt market is in a little weird area;

-/- We have a major situation with Box UK, Rapped in that is CCL/Chili. (best of luck to the staff)
-/- Awd-it got broken into some months back, They are doing a lot of campaigns all over, More Amazon, and they're now on laptop direct; there doing more fancy theme designs now too, however, they did bring an incredible GRE from £1150 (thats on here), which would battle the gre in the bottom link in this post. however their 7800xt / 4070 are lacking behind, specifically the rtx as they're still promoting AM4s.. and doing more intel 14400f in other ways; hopefully them doing the gre via am5 is a sign of change.

Easter is also upon us, so Stormforce be an interesting watch too - retailer firm ++ but sometimes come in on the value line, but with the first -/- they really dont need to, one of the biggest marketing firms is doing less marketing.

If you're not fussed about AM5... You can do some lovely systems featuring 5600x/5700X via 4070/7800XT if u want by these chaps.

i.e
PC of the Week
250 RTX4070
60BEQUIET 850W 80+ GOLD
+35 TRANSCEND 110Q M2 NVME

= 920.00 with the high psu or keep to default psu = £860

AWD price £950 which is the same piece of kit of

PC of the Week
250 RTX4070

at £825

and I can't give AWD too much ear-bashing, because is a respective "old" link that still today beats Scan UK, Ebuyers, overclockers, very weird market.

update on scan; 12400f/H610/4070 at £1079.99 u can call scan to remove the win - £100 = 979
VS awd its 950+30 1TB = £980.00

AWD will come loaded with win unactivated, scan will be removed if not bought,

* 12400F/H610 edges a 5600X/A520; only taken scan 12 months to catch up. (edited)

I'm eyeing the Super Upgrade, an extra 16gb Ram and an upgrade to the 1tb WD Nvme drive, coming to around £1,200.

This will run alyx with 0 issues and you'll love it!

There is a pcpartpicker list in the description. It uses the cheapest websites for the parts. Comes to £1060 rn

Always hard to predict how long it will last. Depends what resolution and what settings you're aiming for. The GPU is aimed mostly at 1440p, and right now from looking at benchmarks, the components in this can run the vast majority of games at Ultra Settings, 1440p and get 60fps+. Over time you'll likely need to drop settings to maintain 60fps +, and doing that it would likely do fine with most games for 3-4 years. As for Ray Tracing, it will likely start to struggle tonrun games well with Ray Tracing within a couple of years.

If you're looking for 4K gaming, you're likely going to want to look at at least a 4070ti Super, but probably a 4080 Super if you want to be gaming at 4K for the same 3-4 year time frame. On the other hand, a 4070 will likely handle 1080p gaming at ultra settings for 4+ years.

But again, it's difficult to gauge how long any PC component will hold up.
