If you are going to take last generations CPUs into 4k system, there is no harm in knocking it up with the recent price adjustments to 8Core 5700X as well, its common knowledge the higher reso is more GPU bound, but a good board with GOOD VRMS at this level is needed, a case what offers fantastic airflow and lovely liquid cooler in the mix here at a very good price, a good air cooler is more then enough though but, the price on the aio is really sweet and it looks cosmetically good. (360 fan boi here speaking)

32GB 3600mhz by kingston is nice(RGB +10 one down) and a very good price, followed by the gen4 kingston nvme and I've picked the 1000W PSU, no point messing about with 850W at this spec,

if u do desire the 5800X3D


This is from an older 6800xt, the gap in the time was £130 between 5700x to 5800x3d, the gap from 5600x was +40
5600x-5700X which is now £20 on-site, both have come down a little but the 5700X by £10 more then the 5800XT so i expect the sales call to be £140

which would make it a nice lovely £2160 System. (i would personally go 5700X tbh)

don't forget u can use code BBUGER for £20, so place order call up after, or enq first and then place order then recall back ;-) - u could buy a Burger for that. (edited)

Pretty solid build. Awd are decent to deal with and can make custom requests with changes. I'd switch out the psu personally, upgrade the ram and add another ssd and it's sorted... Cracking price.

If you are gaming at 4K, the cpu doesn’t matter. Even a 5600X will do. If you are going for high fps 1080p esports gaming, forget it. 5600X is not enough.

Decent

Why would you have a £1000+ gpu and then use a cheap cpu that's just going to bottleneck all the time. Any good system builder knows the bottleneck should always be the gpu.

Can I add as someone who bought an upgraded build from this site, that you will need to install the graphics card yourself as they post the build without it installed. So if you’re a total novice this could cause you a lot of issues.

Just bought all components minus the gpu for £500

Ryzen 7 5700x, 32gb ram, 1tb nvme etc all on Amazon
Build it yourself

This rig don’t even have nvme - jeez (edited)

One thing to consider on this is that for gaming the only CPU upgrade that will be possible to improve performance in games is the 5800X3D, that's it game over done as there are no more CPU upgrade options on AM4 to improve gaming performance. It will play games for years no doubt but it is a platform that has no more options for upgrades beyond the 5800X3D.

What an awful setup to put a 4080 in

Was thinking of getting this but got a another pc from awd last week, can I return it, any experience returning to awd ?

What CPU would be the perfect fit for this build out of all cpus on the market?
