Can I create a PC for under £800 in the UK?
Sure. Here it is rephrased:
Thank you for your kind words about Asrock. It's good to hear he wasn't promoting something too flashy.
Thank you all for your feedback. I'd prefer to invest in her funds and spend a bit more to ensure reliability and durability. In the past, when I assembled PCs, it was more economical to purchase higher-quality, more dependable parts. Cheap RAM and motherboards should be avoided completely, as they often fail within a year or two. I hope this approach will ensure her system lasts at least five years. If the 6700xt pushes costs over budget or forces reliability compromises, I’d rather skip it. It’s not something she requires; it’s just information I found that vram could shape the future of gaming, making now a better choice for her long-term needs. So if I’m opting for a more reliable power supply, better motherboard, and graphics that truly meet her requirements—rather than my personal preferences—what would be the optimal alternative?
An RX 6650 XT or 7600 would offer a solid upgrade, though it lacks the power and has less VRAM compared to newer models. It also reduces your cost by about 100 pounds. On the other side, an RX 6800 provides roughly a 30% boost in performance and includes 16GB of VRAM instead of the previous 12. Recently, these models have been priced between 360 to 380 pounds. The article includes several cards ranked by their time spy scores for reference. If you want a bit more longevity, AM5 support is expected to last until 2026, and the upcoming 9000 series should be available for upgrades.

If you're aiming for extended support, AM5 is reportedly compatible until 2026, and the next generation 9000 series will likely be available for upgrades.
