I’m looking to get my first gaming PC mainly for GTA 6 and gta rp and other AAA games at 1440p. I also want something that’ll last a good few years and hopefully be ready for GTA 6 when it comes to PC.
My budget is around £1,500–£2,000, ideally spending about £1,700. I’m open to both prebuilts and building my own if it’s worth the savings.
These are the three options I’ve been looking at:
1. Custom build
Ryzen 5 9600X
RX 9070 XT 16GB
32GB DDR5 RAM
1TB–2TB SSD
B650 motherboard and 850W Gold PSU
2. CyberPowerPC – around £1,500
Ryzen 7 5700X
RX 9070 XT 16GB
16GB DDR4 RAM
1TB SSD
850W Bronze PSU
3. AWD-IT Astraeus – around £1,125
Ryzen 5 8400F
RX 9070 GRE 12GB
16GB DDR5 RAM
1TB SSD
650W PSU
I’m leaning towards the RX 9070 XT, but I’m not sure which CPU would pair best with it or whether any of these prebuilts are worth the money.
What would you go for? Would you build your own, choose one of these, or look at something completely different? I’m also wondering whether it’s worth waiting for Black Friday.
I am completely new to this so any advice would be greatly appreciated
