Hi,
I'm looking to build a new setup, my current one is getting old now (1080Ti & i7-4820k) and doesn't really have any parts worth moving over.
Budget: £1,200 - £1,400.
Resolution: I currently play at 1080p but will be looking to purchase a 1440p monitor too, maybe within this budget. Depends on what FPS I can pull with this setup.
System Purpose (gaming, workstation, HTPC, etc): Gaming only.
If a gaming system, what games and settings are desired?: I mostly play WoW, COD, OW2. I don't play single player games so RT & DLSS may not be as important.
Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc): Nope.
Do you plan to overclock?: Perhaps? I've never done it before so I'm open to it.
Country: UK
Preferred Stores / Sites: OverClockers UK, Amazon
Parts that can be reused: Old SSD's
Do you need an OS?: No
What I'm thinking of is something like

Case:
Phanteks Eclipse P400A ATX Mid Tower Case
CPU:
Intel Core i5-12400F 2.5 GHz 6-Core Processor (I'm not sure how useful an iGPU is?)
Cooler:
ID-COOLING SE-224-XT
Motherboard:
MSI MAG B660M BAZOOKA DDR4 Micro ATX LGA1700 Motherboard
GPU:
GeForce RTX 3070
Memory:
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB DDR4-3200hz
PSU:
Phanteks AMP 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX
Storage:
Western Digital Black SN850X 1 TB M.2
I can't decide what GPU to get. The 3070 & 6800XT are similar in price and also bench very similarly. Like I mentioned previously, I don't really play any single player games so I'm not sure the RT & DLSS will be useful in FPS games. Is the difference in performance between the 3070/6800XT that much higher than the 3060Ti/6700XT? The price is another £150+ and if the performance isn't that much different then I'm not sure if it's worth?
What's the difference in performance between different models of each GPU? Is a Zotic 3070 much different to an MSI version? If so, how much and is it worth the increase in price?
Also, is the pairing of the 12400f & B660 motherboard any better than a 5600x/motherboard pairing?
Thanks in advance!
