New Build Help (Uk)

* New build or upgrade?

Brand new build.

* Existing parts/monitors to reuse?

I already own a 1440p 240Hz gaming monitor.

* PC purpose?

High-framerate 1440p gaming (mostly Fortnite and Call of Duty) trying to push close to 240 FPS where possible on competitive settings. I am also an engineering student, so this PC needs to handle AutoDesk CAD, Revit, and SolidWorks seamlessly.

* Purchase country? Near Micro Center?

United Kingdom (UK). No Micro Center.

* Monitors needed?

None, reusing my current 1440p 240Hz screen.

* Budget range?

Around £1,200.

* WiFi or wired connection?

WiFi preferred.

* Size/noise constraints?

None, standard mid-tower is fine.

* Color/lighting preferences?

No preference, performance and stability are more important than lights.

* Any other specific needs?

Because of my engineering applications, I would highly prefer an AMD AM5 modern CPU platform for longevity, paired with an Nvidia GPU (like an RTX 4070 series) because of stable driver optimizations and CUDA support in SolidWorks and Revit.
