We need to know more in order to advise properly. Have a quick read first:Any recommendations for a configuration of a PC? I'm looking for an RTX 3060 Ti and Ryzen 5 3600 combo. I have a budget of £1350 for just the PC.
It that case I'm wondering what is the particular reason you want a PC with RTX 3060 Ti? This GPU is mostly for 1440p gaming and would be overkill for 1080p. You'd be much better off waiting for 3060 to be released after a few weeks or get a 2060, or wait a few more months for 3050 & 3050Ti (but I'm not as certain about those as about 3060 which is just around the corner). I'll amend the above in a few mins.My monitor is an MSI Optix 1080p 144hz, and my plans with the PC are mostly for gaming.
No point in "investing" (aka futureproofing) in a GPU. I understand if you'll have a new 1440p monitor within a 6-9 months period, then getting a PC with 3060Ti would make sense, but if you'll change after a year or later - then no. By that time will be better 1440p GPUs for a similar (if not better price). GPU prices are now on the rise, especially for 1440p or above.Well I'm able to change to 1440p gaming at some point, I just want to be able to play any modern game at 144 fps with no problems. I'm a bit naive on computers, but I've chosen to go for one which I knew would be overkill so I wouldn't have any issues with such. I previously had an Acer Nitro 5, and chose to sell it and save some cash in order to go for a beastly gaming rig.
You need to focus to a good build base, so you could keep it for 7+ years with 2-3 GPU upgrades within that time.I do competitive gaming such as CSGO or Rainbow Six Siege, but no, I don't get paid for it of course. I don't plan on changing my pc for a couple of years, hence why I wanted to drop this much. I actually do have a configuration ready for it which is £1344 altogether, but I don't know how to list it up since I'm new to forums here.
I know GPU prices are raising due to demand and quarantine, which would also mean another reason for me to be able to futureproof this pc until I can get a 1440p monitor.
Solid build, but out of my budget. Max I can go for is £1350. I'll look further into it, and plan my order for tomorrow. Appreciate the help.This is rather a nice 1080p build which could be tweaked here and there around for your own needs. A PC case I've chosen and absolutely wonderful. CPU is a great performance CPU for gaming. Motherboard can be this or X570-Plus if you want some sort of futureproofing.
RAM could be upped to 3600MHz if you wish.
GPU RTX 2060 is current the top best for 1080p.
The rest kind of speaks for itself.

Just drop your build specs here before buying so you could get some advice from othersSolid build, but out of my budget. Max I can go for is £1350. I'll look further into it, and plan my order for tomorrow. Appreciate the help.
Yep I'd second that, in fact this is what you could doWith that budget, going for the 3060ti is compromising the rest of your build. If you step back to a 2060, you can manage a 5600x with B550 motherboard, a larger M.2 drive, a better PSU (which will give you better life) and overall a better, longer lasting PC. The standard AMD cooler should be fine and you don’t need Bullguard. £5 for the Silver warranty is a no brainer.
Brownie points for coming in exactly on budget @AgentCooperHere's a few tweaks from me!
