Hi all. It's been a long time since I built my own PC and with so much choice out there and new specs, I am struggling a bit to navigate everything.
I would like to build a PC that would last a decent amount of time without the need for much additional upgrades. This would be a gaming PC, to play games like Witcher, WoW, BG3, and some others that are likely to come in the next few years, especially if on Unreal Engine 5. Budget wise i'm probably in the c. £4k at the max, but of course would be happy to hear options in case I can get a better price without compromising too much on quality.
I've put below the spec that I came up with, but would really appreciate any input into making this better / more optimal.
Thanks in advance!
