Well that GPU is going to be overkill. If you're keen to get some ray-traced effects you'd do just as well with a 2060, your monitor is going to be a bottleneck to the 3070.

It'd also be a strong recommendation to go for an AMD system, would you like us to spec one up for you?

Well what we could do is spec you up a strong build base that'd be good with your current monitor within budget. And then if you do want to go 4K / 1440p in a couple of years, you'll just need to purchase a new screen, the right GPU to match it and it'll slot right in.

I appreciate it thank you! I dont mind spending extra if I know its worth it. 2 of my friends said I should get the 3070 so I dont mind. But im all new to this. Is it possible to do me a spec on the 3070 and with what monitor?
