It all depends on your budget really, some good displays in a range of prices.
Probably about £350 max. I’ve seen the Dell and LG ones that are well reviewed (I think they are the same panel) but I must admit I like the aesthetics of those new Gigabyte ones, although not may reviews of those. I do like Dell for monitors due to their perfect pixel guarantee.
It also depends if you want Gsync too which will add some more money, but are looking around the £500 mark for the good ones (Asus PG278QR, Acer predator etc), might be worth looking up the MSI optix monitors as they are a bit cheaper but are VA panels. But it's always wise to do your own research (youtube is good for this) for your own needs, which looks like you are already doing.
Its amazing how the 3000 series handles games so well, I'm not even sure what I'd use a 3090 for (if I could afford one).
Congrats! So for this you basically have to take your card to pieces? Is that for a custom water cooling loop? I'd never have the balls to do that, I'm planning on upgrading my CPU cooler to an all-in-one water cooler and even the thought of that makes me nervous.Just installed my waterblock on the GPU.
Cutting all the thermal pads was an absolute pain.
On putting it all back together one of the screws didn't really wanna play ball, but I got it attached.
Not got it in a loop yet as I've got my games room being sorted, but I turned it on quickly just to see if it was working.
Heart in mouth moment, but it did turn on thank god
Woah I knew the gpu market is a bit mad right now, but I put the RX 570 8gb Armor that came in my prebuilt [so without box etc] on my bro's facebook for £150 and the messages flooded in like crazy in the first hour alone. Even a shop down Canning Town who I presume would buy to sell.
Of course rather than being a dick and trying to milk it I'm gonna give it to the first dude that holler'd that I wouldn't need to bother with shipping, guy is jumping on a train from Romford in the AMs to pick it up to actually game.
There are loads of companies online. Scan definitely do them, I think NZXT do them with their components (I imagine this would be real pricey though), Currys do them but when I last looked they were all fairly low spec and overpriced. You can also just go on Amazon, but definitely look at reviews before buying anything, my brother-in-law was looking at £600 Amazon pre-builts and the specs were basically the same as you could get building yourself, so not bad value at all. A lot of local shops do this too, I bought all the components through a local shop on my old build and he offered to build it for me, and you'll probably have more control over the exact parts that way too, and you've got someone to guide you if you're unsure what you want.
Prices have gone through the roof, I got close to getting back the money i paid for my old GPU that I bought 4 years ago. It's no surprise scalping is so profitable right now and I don't see it changing anytime soon with covid and mining making a comeback.Woah I knew the gpu market is a bit mad right now, but I put the RX 570 8gb Armor that came in my prebuilt [so without box etc] on my bro's facebook for £150 and the messages flooded in like crazy in the first hour alone.

Edit: Not gonna lie I upped it to 200 after I realised that the 4gb iteration was costing more than what I was selling mine.
Nice. I felt pretty lucky to get anything ordered at all over Christmas and assumed it would get better after that, but looking back now I was really lucky, it looks even harder/more expensive now. Mental what's happening in some industries right now.Pretty happy I bit the bullet and ordered all my parts back in November when there was already a limited availability of GPU's yet prices were still pretty reasonable.
1660 Supers now going for 500+ euro over here, stores that have some in stock are also casually charging 800 euros for a 5700XT and 450 euros for 1650 Super.
Absolute madness
For performance, what exactly are you looking to do? If gaming, what resolution and refresh rate is your monitor and what games are you aiming to play?
They come in stock but sell quickly too, if you really want one you have to setup alerts/join discord channels etc.
Gives me hope, by the sounds of it there is a new generation of intel CPUs being released soon I may wait for that at least
I feel like I've come a long way since I first opened my pre-built 2 months ago due to lack of ps5 availability. Stuck in another RAM stick, changed the GPU, swapped out the stock CPU cooler for an aftermarket one with the rightair directionRGB, installed case fans which took research as I've only got one SYS fan header [Y-split 2 front fans on to it with PWM enabled, with the 3rd fan [exhaust] running throughas its' safety currents would exceed the assumed 1amp limit on the SYS], modified the case as the MasterBox Lite 5 has turd airflow, sold the old GPU and monitor covering 85% cost of the M27Q I replaced the latter with.
Next will be to change out the shite h310 pro vd mobo and the i5 8400 which seems to have ramped up the bottleneck at 1440p.
Cheers - I signed up to stock informer and got on their discord.
We probably will reach an fps level suited to my own fossile neurological system. 240fps is way beyond my level...
