£1000 for a new PC to run Unreal Engine 5

2
Posted 18th Feb 2023
I’m well out of the loop on current hardware, be it the plethora of graphics cards, processors or totally new stuff like NVMe that didn’t really exist when I last built myself a PC from scratch, 10 years ago. 
Is this achievable? 
I don’t need a screen/monitor or peripherals particularly, so just the unit itself.
And how much difference would increasing my budget to £1500 make? 
Of course it would mean I could buy the next step up in components but would a £999 gfx card really make a significantly noticeable difference from (an already very pricey) £650 one for example?
Thanks for any advice.

PS I’m talking about the UE5 development software, not just (upcoming) games that might use it FYI

    Check out @sarden84 posts for best bang for buck

    Check out hardware unboxed (YouTube) or techspot web (same people) for GPU comparisons. They do price to performance charts at the end.

    The new 40xx series from Nvidia not good value for example. (edited)

    Have a search on youtube for something like 'unreal engine 5 rtx 3070' or another card so you can see the performance for yourself. The 30xx series are still very powerful cards (edited)
