£800 pc build for high/ultra 1080p

I've been seeing 16gb ddr4 3200mgh go for around £70 so I might consider picking it upConcerns about the 8gb VRAM do arise This is WuWa constrained to 16GB DDR4 RAM and 8GB GDDR5 VRAM.Basically, the engine can manage with just 16GB RAM, it sorta wants more RAM for 1080p, but not VRAM. Look below. Tw

Give me specs for a Rs 75000 PC build with graphics card, monitor, mouse and keyboard

Excellent suggestion but there are few things I will change. I would get mouse and keyboard both at cost of Rs 1000 or less. And I would buy Intel i5 12400f processor instead of ryzen since I have a really terrible experience with AMD products. And I would also buy NVIDIA GPU if possible.

Helping a friend build a PC. Will a 9060 XT work?

14400F or even 12400F would probably be better with that board, I don't think the VRMs are built for 125W+ TDP units.. 5060TI might work better for 1080p if you want more features, also has lower power draw..

Looking to build my first ever pc and I’m wondering if this is a solid list to work with

Your build isn't bad at all and would be great value for the $$. I'll suggest 2 others that will push your budget but I believe it's worth the extra $$ but by no means feel like your build isn't viable This is pushing your budget but great boost over your list (which is a solid list). This gets a mu

70k build (already had cabinet) is this enough for 1440p gaming???

Enough for 1440p but not a quite good build, you're Missing the cpu cooler for the 12400f, and the stock cooler is not good enough for it, and the ram is slower, 6000mhz is preferred for ddr5, and that motherboard doesn't have vrm heatsink which is bad for the motherboard lifespan, and especially th

1080pc build with minimum budget.

For your requirements (1080p High/Ultra, 60+ FPS, online + AAA titles, no RGB focus), you don’t need a 1L+ rig. A solid bare-minimum but future-ready build would be around ₹55k–65k. Here’s a suggested config: CPU: Intel i5-12400F / AMD Ryzen 5 7600 (both very capable for 1080p gaming) Motherboard: B

Whats the best small build for under 700$?

Single fan GPUs are all out of stock, unfortunately. Only 3050 is available. Not the most powerful, but raytracing capable and will run the latest AAA games regardless. Could swap the CPU with 12400f if you want to save $20, but it's a bit weaker and lacks multithreading performance. PCPartPicker Pa
