Uk, 2.5k budget Streaming Editing and 4k use!
Unfortunately my AM4 build on a 3900x and 2070super is at its end, since the mismatched ram sticks which used to be stable on the board (It was held together by duct tape and glue with 4 sticks at 3200 and 3600 speeds massively downclocked) has stopped working together. Currently have the setup working (somehow) on 24gb, since the 4th ram slot has decided he’s not very happy, and so has one of the ram sticks.
This took a not very pretty “all iterations” tear down and ram slot test, and a 24gb setup which may become 16 at a stray gust of wind, or have slots stop working altogether, is unfortunately not good enough. Sadly I need this for video editing and streaming, and since this is worth a good portion of my income, I can’t wait years for prices to (maybe) drop.
I will need a standard hard drive/OS only sad for boot, to get the current setup working as a media machine and light gaming on my tv downstairs for its retirement, and will be using my current storage for the new PC as a straight transfer.
Please give me advice on wether a stretch to 5080 is worth the price, or if it’s not in budget at all for the build. I will mainly be playing overwatch on 1440p (as many fps as possible since overwatch input lag is determined by frame rate past monitor fps).
I will also be also hdmi-ing the build to an adjacent 4k 120hz oled for couch gaming. Running 4k native on ultra settings etc is not necessarily a deal breaker, but is on the wish list, being able to handle almost all games at a reasonable level on this TV. Is necessary.
All peripherals are dealt with, do your worst!
