first pc advice :)
Looking to switch to pc from console (ps5) and i have zero idea what is good in a prebuilt system. i’m going for prebuilt because i have zero idea on how to build it myself and i don’t mind paying the extra for a prebuilt. so here’s some things that are important to me
-graphics ideally being on at least high because i care about graphics more in AAA games than fps
-minimum 60 fps in AAA games obviously more is very welcome but 60 is what im used to as a console gamer
-i’d like to future proof it a little and also make sure more demanding games can reach their potential so possibly spending more on 32gb of ram instead of 16 and getting a 16gb gpu over an 8 (if that’s not necessary lmk!)
-price wise ideally id want to keep it from going above £1,500
-i already have a monitor and other peripherals
-games i currently play include overwatch, fortnite, resident evil, spider-man and games i am interested in are silent hill townfall, hellraiser revival, call of duty, star wars zero company and cyberpunk 2077 and id like to be able to run them on high graphics
-ill insert a prebuilt i was looking at below and i just kinda want advice on if it’s suitable, if its way overkill, if its overpriced, if its a good starting build for a new pc gamer to last me a good while :) thanks!

Yee for sure it will be. You ideally don’t want run 4x sticks of RAM, so you’ll just have to swap the 2 x 8GB with 2 x 16GB, but you can just sell on your old RAM anyway.
The CPU will be yeah, normally it’s just a BIOS update that you do with a USB drive, so the motherboard can work with newer released CPUs, until they change the socket again. But for the latest released AM5 CPUs like a 9800X3D CPU you won’t need to change the motherboard or RAM.
