Unfortunately this kind of thing is unavoidable with any electronics. There are so many individual capacitors and components all crammed in together, you can stress test a PC and it will work absolutely fine for a while, and then suddenly one of the capacitors will leak and cause an outright failure. It's just the way electronics are. That's why warranties are so important, to protect against unseen failure.
The fact the PC died is not in PCS control, the way they responded and refunded you allowing to buy a more powerful one for the same money is far more important.
Don't be put off, where you have been one of the unlucky few with your last PC, we can get something far better specced that will make you sing on a daily basis.
If you're unhappy with the advice you've had from PCS, then trust us and we can spec something killer for your budget that will last happily for 7 - 10 years.
Would I be able to get better than ryzen 5 what was just suggested or is that about it for the money

can I see your evidence for that please as I know someone running an i7 very comfortably on that. Otherwise, stop saying things just to fit your ‘default’ coolermaster liquid 240 or a top end Corsair one narrative

Countless reddit threads a simple google search and common sense itll be loud the op dosent want loud I was giving him a opinion theres no need to be combative I know someone who runs a 5800x on a budget cooler just fine would I recommend it no because its loud and not optimal

I'm sure you know how to google?
If you don't understand boost clocks, and how poor Intel are at reaching their "advertised" speeds, then please don't be so aggressive.
It's one thing asking for more information, but you're just looking to cause friction.
Right Thank you for this I have emailed the person who was dealing with the credit so hopefully will get to speak to him tomorrow about the pc again

Your monitor is a 240hz monitor so actually the 3060ti would be a better pairing in theory, but there are reasons why I haven't configured it.
BUT, with the budget, you'd be sacrificing the core build at the expensive of factoring in the higher GPU.
Have you actually played at high refresh? Most people don't notice anything over 120Hz.
Warzone is expected to be played with DLSS on, this will greatly improve framerates, but it's still a hungry game, to get the best performance (as with any new AAA) you will be expected to optimise settings to suit your expectations of FPS vs visual fidelity. You should be able to comfortably average 144fps with a few settings optimised without affecting visual fidelity much at all.
Call of Duty: Warzone Best Settings and Options Guide
In our Call of Duty Warzone Best Settings and Options article we cover everything from sensitivity to video settings to optimize your game.
prosettings.net
With competitive settings applied, you should comfortably be able to average around 180fps peaking around 200.
Benchmark for Warzone on 3060
Simulation games aren't going to benefit at all from high refresh rate. And GTA will run perfectly fine with the 3060 even factoring in 240Hz, it's not a competitive title either.

Just further, some in game performance between the 5600x and the 10700k, they're literally neck and neck in most titles, with each going just ahead in intel vs amd titles.

Bear in mind the Warzone benchmark here isn't factoring in DLSS as it wasn't out at that time.

Swap the 3700X out for a 5600X, and change the PSU to a RXm, and you wont be far off the mark
Would you recommend to change the 3700x for a ryzen 9 5900x or a 3900x at all
Martinr36
MOST VALUED CONTRIBUTOR
I wouldn't recommend the 3900x as it's a last generation cpu, if you go above the 5600x you'll also need to change the motherboard to a 570, and also up rate the cooler which is also more expense on top of the higher price cpu, so bearing your use and budget in mind i'd stick to the 5600x
I've actually just ordered myself a 5900x system, without a graphics card or OS and that came in at £1619

I think I’m just going to stick with the one I’ve ordered would you definitely recommend the rxm psu tho as it’s only £9 extra
Martinr36
MOST VALUED CONTRIBUTOR
I'd still highly recomend the 5600x, it's going to out perform the 3700x, however that is your choice and yes definitely the RMx
Well I’ll change it to the rmx
But when I called up the other day I was told to go with the 3700x instead of the 5600x because “it has fewer threads and cores so futureproofing will suffer” so I don’t know what to go with in my pc what broke before I had the 3800x
