No real reason for going down the Intel route other than Quiet PC were selling a model called Serenity Ultimate Gamer i18 and it came with an Intel chip installed.  I figured I'd build one with similar spec' and source the parts separately.

This build has really helped up my game, it has propelled me from a crap player to a mediocre one in a short space of time.  It almost feels like I'm cheating

I got a test intel nuc i5-7260U with 24Gb and 640gpu.

When I start unreal it goes in chopper mode.
This compared with my "production PC" is a terrible game experience.

So I can imagine that your new system would and should make progress. 

"mediocre" maybe, still better than me imho    

Just picked up a new monitor the MSI one I had can no longer handle higher refresh rates.
Can't remember who suggested a curved monitor but it seems a really good spec for £120
AOC C27G4ZXED .
Haven't tried it with UT yet...

My setup has been altered a little bit since this post:

My keyboard is now a Logitech K270 Wireless Keyboard - my SteelSeries keyboard was bought used off of Vinted, and it unfortunately died by static(?)

My mouse is now a Logitech G203 Lightsync - my original mouse packed in after being used for about 6 years.

I also have the best addition to my setup
