Almost 10 years ago I bought my 2nd PC from PC Specialist, and it's finally time to get the 3rd! The GTX 1080 served faithfully and will be going to a nice farm with all the other good graphics cards where it can run benchmarks all day.
Budget wise looking to stay under £3,500 but there is headroom if makes sense. Have looked at some other Check this spec! threads and tried to take into account some of the advice already shared.
- I will be playing mostly strategy games and some flight simulator, but would also like to play Cyberpunk and upcoming GTA at very good settings
- This PC will be in my home office, so ideally will run quiet too and not looking for any bright RGB LEDs
- My current monitor is an AW3821DW Ultrawide at 3840 x 1600 resolution. May upgrade in a few years
- Would like this to be another long term PC without needing upgrades, so looking to future proof as well (8 years of decent performance is good)
- I've gone with the 5080 as it may be a little more than I'd need right now, but should be a very decent card for 5 years at least
