She’s not crazy on 4K or 60+FPS but she wants to play modern games to a vaguely decent standard Also she does a lot of graphic work so a more grunty rig would help there. What kind of basic specs would one look for in playing most modern games/being a good work rig and also being vaguely future proofed? I realise this is a bit vague so if required I’ll narrow down specifically what she’s looking Cheers in advance | ||

In that case you can't tell without duplicate hardware | ||

Link: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/Cg2v4s Price is manually adjusted as per local market (BGN to EUR). Note Crucial P5 Plus (PCI-E 4 NVME) is marked as €89 as it's this NVME + be quiet! MC1 Pro cooler (non-pro wasn't available at Amazon). NVME and heatsink are the only outside local market items. So €75 for NVME and €14 for heatsink. Gigabyte X V2 (B550) may look like an odd choice to some, but most motherboards at that price were without integrated IO shield and I wanted to use a nicer one for looks. Of course, if it blocks dust that's also great.  It just seemed like good value for money to me overall (not just IO shield). PC case isn't the best but it was on a discount so I'd still say good value for money even if manual was trash (zero mention of ARGB connections). Still, no Phanteks P300 & P360 locally right now (out of stock?) and no Montech X3 (GN's recommendation) locally. So compromise was needed. | ||

A few degrees less if you change ILM (Independent Loading Mechanism) with a custom one. That's it if you care to spend roughly €40 for about 6 C less. I do hope Intel redesigns their ILM so you don't have to spend any more money, not to mention extra effort to install a new ILM. I'm currently on Ryzen 5900x but competition is good, you never know if you switch back to Intel in a few years time :D | ||
