What you after in terms of usage. Just gaming? Want a particular theme? What resolution does it need to handle?
4k gaming and I also use autocad
Sweet. Leave it with me! Do you need anything else included such as a monitor mouse keyboard headset?
first game i will be playing is baldurs gate 3
Haha I respect that it’s very popular right now
i do want a monitor but was looking at an ultra wide screen, so might get this seperatley elsewhere such as the samsung odyssey g9
also do you guys have a place where I could sell my second hand pc?
just to confirm the £5-6k budget is just for the tower, im looking to spend another £1500 on the monitor, keyboard etc
There is no second hand sales under cyberpower your best bet is Facebook or eBay
Will send over a config - if you want the G9 I’d say go for it. It’s a brilliant display
Just to check after you steering towards AMD or Intel? @hushed osprey
Dont know, not sure whats best?
:tada: Congrats @hushed osprey, you levelled up to 1! :tada: 
I think because you’re a gamer a 7950x3D is a great option
Extremely good chip and the 3D cache makes gaming that little bit better
Are you happy for me to add additional services such as the 3 or 5 day rush service? Still within budget and gets the system built and sent as a priority in the queue

Ive thrown this together. Doesn’t include a monitor
Loads of storage for your games and cad files on very fast SSD’s everything will be mega quick.
Gone for a Strix 4090, looks awesome in that case. Infinity fans with a Galahad cooler, probably the nicest looking fans on the market currently and of course the 7950x3D to make sure you get the most out of it when gaming
Have added a 3 day fast track service so it gets to you nice and quickly.
If you want to look at water cooled custom loop options we can have a look at that too. It will be more expensive than the current price
Ok, thank you for these, will take a look through them. Would you suggest 32GB DDR5/6000 or 64GB DDR/5600? 1ignoring cost
32GB should be more than enough
Yeah 32 is plenty! You can always buy 2 extra sticks seperately when they do the build to fill out the RAM slots if you want
They just don’t have 4x Kits available right now
Or you can always buy it in future as you will have access to buy parts being a CyberPower customer
Yup there’s an upgrade service, at any point as an existing customer you can buy other points
But if you want the extra sticks on this build, once you’ve placed the order just call the sales team with your order number and they’ll send you a direct payment link for the cost difference 🙂
OK, I did fill out a spec myself can I send it to you for your comments?
Absolutely
noted on the RAM, thank you

Im not clued up on PCs like I used to be so I dont know if ive selected stupid options or certain components dont worrk well together? etc
Send it over
My opinion is not worth getting a custom loop if you are not comfortable with changing the coolant every 6 months
The most important part is making sure the pair up doesn’t bottleneck too much and that the cooling is sufficient
No I can’t - send it how it was shown in the video link I sent
oh wait
its showing for me now, how weird
its solid. you don't need a 1600w PSU as the 40 series graphics cards are surprisingly good with power efficiency.
I'd suggest getting 2 of the 2TB drives instead of 1x 4TB. Just in case the main drive corrupts or something. It doesn't happen often but my favourite saying with PC's is better to be safe than sorry.
Otherwise I think you've put a very solid rig together. i WOULD personally go towards the Lian Li infinity fans because theyre still good for cooling but look a bit cooler.
And cheaper 😄
These are mine for reference. Of course the RGB is fully customisable
How do you change the inside and outside seperatly?
I can't do that ;-;
the dot is the inside, the brackets are the outside!
yay !#
ok cool, thank you for all your advice. Are you aware of any issues with sharp radius curved screens like the samsung odyessy and using programmes like Autocad where you draw straight lines?
I couldnt see the LIan Li fans as an option, is that due to the case I have selected?
:tada: Congrats @hushed osprey, you levelled up to 2! :tada: 
not particularly, my technical guy at the office who does my structural + building control drawings uses a curved screen too
the programme carries it mostly.
me too. how bizarre. maybe it isto do with the case, or they've literallyjsut run out of stock lol
@graceful crescent mr boss could u confirm ?
either way the fans you've selected are still very capable of looking cool and performing well - if theres no resolve to the infinity fans, you'll still be absolutely fine.
Ok cool and I presume with this build I would be able to run games at high graphics setting in 4k with decent frame rates?
oh absolutely
the 4090 is amazing. no CPU can quite bring out its full capability yet, in terms of 4k performance, you'll be at the absolute tip top of what you can get.
i have some friends who run it with the highest speed ram on the market, some of the strongest 4k monitors and they still cant max it out
sounds great, last question, what monitor would you recommend even if cyber power dont sell it? and any recommendations for mouse and keyboard?
Corsair have just released a new K70 MAX keyboard.
In terms of mouse, i'd go for a logitech 503 or 305, at your preference.
monitors.. now thats a good question. let me have a look at another discord
thank you
ones i've seen that are popular
SAMSUNG 49" ODYSEEY NEO G9 (G95NA)
ASUS ROG SWIFT PG35VQ
ASUS ROG STRIX XG439C
all are pretty buffed out for gaming. you'll probably feel like you're in the game! lol
thank you so much for all your advice

neil, to be nosey, what kind of cad work do you do?
timber frame buildings
right up my alley. i'm a developer + main contractor. feel free to drop me a dm if you need anything on that sde of the business in the future
dont you need proof of some kind
got a QS in house etc
thats for the tax man
where you based?
Bedfordshire. I have sites in Brighton through to Grimsby, if the job is right, i'm all over it.
