    Hi,

    Any advice on this build would be much appreciated. It is purely for 4k gaming on an LG OLED 120hz HDMI 2.1 TV (with zero productivity stuff). I am a bit flexible on budget.

    - The big question is where should I buy a custom build (or a pre-built similar spec)? I think I need to avoid the UK for Brexit reasons so is PCSpecialist a good option? Anywhere else I should be loooking?

    - All of the benchmarks I see suggest that for 4K gaming, I would see no benefit from going up from i5 to i7 or i9. Would you agree?

    - I've read that there is no real benefit yet to DDR5 over DDR4, but I know nothing at all about RAM. (As far as I can see, DDR5 would cost €174 more for 32GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 5200MHz (2 x 16GB))

    - I am also clueless about the motherboard, cooler and power supply.

    - Storage: the 2 TB M.2 is for games and the 8TB HDD is for media storage.

    Thanks!
