    My first build, please advise!!

    Hey, So i play competitive call of duty but it recently moved from console to pc so i gave up and i am now wanting to go at it again. I definitely want a build from a company but obvs i can customise. I spoke with pc specialist and they gave me a build with great power so when the 3 series are available again i can get one and itll work fine. But i ideally want a 3060 ti and i found this build by cyberpower uk. Is it good and will it be great for what i want to do? i have a 1080p 144hz monitor and my budget is nothing ideally above 1.8k. I will put both build down below.

    Cyberpower 3060 ti build (£1599)

      Flip a coin
      I have mainly used intel chips - not for any other reason except that’s what was normally supplied.
      After working on a couple of different sites I notice a lot of gamers are using Ryzen.
      I will ask someone else for an opinion also.
      I would probably go for the Ryzen
      As for a case, to me a computer case is a black box with bits inside - old school.
      Who really has a desktop computer on a desktop where they can watch the lights as opposed to the floor
