Computer Build
Hi All,
It's been a while since I started playing the game... things have changed a lot. There are now so many more choices available. I'm currently using an i7 4690k and a 980ti with dual 1080p monitors, so upgrading is essentially the norm.
I'm planning to invest around £2000-£3000 for a complete new build, including two fresh monitors (1440p at 165hz). This is mainly because of a monitor problem and the overall age of my system. My current specs probably won<|pad|> to support dual 1440p at a high refresh rate.
My main use is for work (development) and casual gaming like League of Legends. I don't play many AAA games, but I'd like the option to.
Could you please share some PC Part Picker recommendations?

The setup details remain unclear, leaving some aspects uncertain. For improved guidance, consider specifying the programs used. There’s no certainty about storage requirements or whether the case should feature RGB lighting. It could be a straightforward build offering significantly better performance than what you currently have. (Note: The i7 4690K is not a valid i5 model; the 4790K is the correct variant.)
