    Money is ok.

    GPU at 1440p? Not in my opinion but other people on here know better than me

    1080p should be pretty stable for most things 60fps though I reckon?

    lot of build for the cash, but very little gpu per spend though, but its got some nice parts in the rest. defo one to add on to for a higher gpu, but cutting performance at first per G worth.

    is this from a facebook page btw? ive seen this.

    it was ebay - he owns it now. He says it is possible to get a decent GPU uipgrade for under £300? perhaps a used 12gb RX 6700 XT?

    Why 3060 instead of 4060?

    something to do with vram, and it being 12gb meaning will be relevant for longer?

    Should be as simple as remove the 3060 and put the 4070 in it's place, right? Same size from what I can tell and drivers etc will do their thing automatically?

    The drivers should update automatically but you should check after it has been online for a while if you haven't had a notification.

    When removing the GPU you need to check how it is fixed to the actual case not just the motherboard & don't force anything removing or installing.

    Power leads should all clip out & in & the clips on the motherboard need to be pulled back fully before removing & they should just click into place themselves when installing the new one. It really is straight forward.

    When you are putting the new gpu back into the motherboard slot don't press too hard until you know it is in position. You can't really see the slot when you are doing it. .
