hi,
a bit of a rookie with pc's. Upgrading my 5 year old PC.
Would this all work fine together? like long lasting etc?

would i be able to run all games on max?

austere narwhal
#

Should be fine, could maybe upgrade the ram to 6000mhz

hardy burrow
#

only see theesee two options

split marsh
#

Ahh, is it a custom or a prebuilt system?

hardy burrow
#

Sorry, its custome icue one

cprgbglitch :tada: Congrats @hardy burrow, you levelled up to 1! :tada: cprgbglitch

#

Eh its fine as it was really, Just you might get a few FPS more with 6000mhz RAM

split marsh
#

Are you set on the Corsair ecosystem? Lian li and such are feasible options too, and you might be able to sqeueze in an upgrade here or there with the savings

hardy burrow
#

a little bit haha, i have all corsair peripherals and quite a fan of syncing all the lighting in icue

split marsh
#

Ahh gotcha! Do you have a max budget? I can see if I can maybe squeeze some 6000mhz in there for you too

hardy burrow
#

um sort of capping it around the 3k mark ish, would that be done outside of the sites builder?

split marsh
#

What I can do is make a "custom build" on the site builder for you, it's outside of the limited choices you can get on the iCue system builder

#

Give me a sec and I'll pop one in

hardy burrow
#

Oh thats awesome

#

bit of a side Q, when built by cyberpower, is it done so that the fans etc would be picked up by icue? my current PC is from scan 3xs, and originally they didnt make it so that icue picked up the fan / cpu cooler etc so had to have a friend do it for me.

Im a disabled user, so limited to what i can move around inside the pc bymself with non steady hands

split marsh
#

Great question! When it's all built with an ecosystem like Corsair, Lian li etc, when the builders are constructing it, they would make sure it would all be wired correctly so it would be picked up by the ICUE

hardy burrow
#

appreciate the help man

split marsh
#

No problem, How's storage? Right now the system is configured at 2TB, I can add a lil more or stay the same, Whatcha thinking?

hardy burrow
#

i picked two of these

split marsh
#

Ah okay! So 4TB is the aim?

hardy burrow
#

Yess sir

split marsh
#

No problemo

#

These are mostly personally preference, You could pick whichever one you'd like

austere narwhal
#

Dom Plats do look good

split marsh
#

I'm a huge fan of the titanium ones, just for the fact the covers are removable, and you can add custom ones

#

and the RGB looks sick

hardy burrow
#

hahs i like the left one, i like how the lights are in the strip styled

austere narwhal
#

Vengeance are nice, Just Dom Plats have more LEDS if you want to set per LED RGB

hardy burrow
#

I have a similar styled now with the blocked style lights, wanting to try a strip design out haha

I can wiggle the price down if you'd like it cheaper

#

and great thing with that 4000x case, is you don't have to purchase any additional fans to fill it out, it comes 3 as standard, and 3 on the AIO

hardy burrow
#

Oh that's awesome man haha, thats somehow £22 less than what i currently had!

appreciate it man, think thats perfect for me

#

Additionally, could even knock it down a bit more by opting for a slower 2nd NVME (not really noticable) as the main one will be the fast one (and windows will be installed on the faster one)

hardy burrow
#

Oh yeah i dont mind doing that, i barely use 1tb now, i just liked the idea of having plenty of extra space without the constant re install of gamers

the £22 was the fast track i picked😁😂😂

Thats awesome man, only £19 more than what i originally did. i really appreciate it ♥

No worries! any questions just reach out 🙂

hardy burrow

thank you dude❤

austere narwhal
#

You could consider an AMD GPU to save some money

split marsh
#

^That is an option if you want to save some

#

*and in some games, an 7900 XTX from AMD actually outperforms the 4080

hardy burrow
#

Im not really sure on the differences but rn i use the geforce tools alot and gsync, im guessing those are only with the card i currently have?

split marsh
#

I do believe things like gsync are only available with GEFORCE cards, however there is alternatives (I don't really use AMD so not too sure on the ecosystem)

#

If you did go for a AMD GPU, you could upgrade to a i9-14900k with all the extras mentioned in the previous builds, for about £30 cheaper

A lil video too that shows some of the benchmarks compared to the 4080

Hmm thank you for that, I'll have a little sleep a google about it haha

Again, appreciate you guys. Already better than my scan experience 😂
