perfect ty

#

ok so thats what i managed to make and i just wanted some thoughts on it, how well will my games run on it etc

#

i just wanna make sure that this pc is as good as i can make it for my games

visual jay
# whole turret

Probably the best option unless you can stretch a bit more

whole turretBOT
#

cprgbglitch :tada: Congrats @visual jay, you levelled up to 4! :tada: cprgbglitch

old lodge
#

And for a monitor i chose this

visual jay
#

That's fine, if you are happy with that go ahead

#

If you can stretch to 1,5k you probably get a better CPU but other than that solid for 1080/1440p gaming

old lodge
#

If i manage to grab a job after my semester i can def bump it up thinksmart

clever pond
#

@old lodge imo save a bit more money and get a pc with a 5070ti for bit more future proofing

#

only demanding game you listed is assassins creed so id imagine youd want to play the newest one also and the 5070ti will run anything at 1440p max settings, maybe even 4k 60fps on some games

ooooo nice

tidal osprey
#

7 fps less [on average] compared to the 5070 Ti, but also costs almost £200 less

#

(this is with a 5070 Ti in the same config i sent)

old lodge
#

Wowaaa

#

Also will the case have all fan slots filled?

#

Might be a stupid question but i seen some cases have slots for 9-10 fans but u can only select up to 6 fans and cant select more

tidal osprey
#

the case comes with 4 fans, another 3 come from the AIO (totalling 7)

it seems there are more fan positions in the PSU tray? but i don't think that will have any real impact on thermals or aesthetics

old lodge
#

okiiiii

tidal osprey
#

oh hold on

old lodge
#

Ty so much man

#

oh

tidal osprey
#

oh i see - 1s

old lodge
#

Np

tidal osprey
#

3 at the front, 3 at the top, 1 rear exhaust, 2 at the side, 2 at the bottom

so if you want to fill ALL the slots you can just add 4 fans (which you can do easily)

@tidal osprey i think the cpu just junped up £100😭😭😭😭😭

#

Now its 1690 ffs

tidal osprey
#

wtf 😭

#

oh this is weird

old lodge
#

My happiness just flew out the window

tidal osprey
#

they got rid of AM4 configs

#

leave it a bit - it should go back down

i imagine that's some sort of stock control mechanism causing the price hike - £100 out of nowhere is obviously not quite right

#

wtf is happening

old lodge
#

Overnight is wild but yh i will leave it for now anyways, wont be ordering till maybe mid july?

#

i rlly hope it does go down lol

tidal osprey
#

i have a feeling it's a stock control measure - either they have low stock or they don't want loads of people buying it now that they no longer have AM4 configs

old lodge
#

I still got time anyways so hopefully it goes down

#

Also because i got all those fans, could i shave some money off by removing the liquid cooler?

#

Would that be a good idea or no

#

11 fans finna make Antarctica look like the sahara desert

tidal osprey
#

i recommend keeping the AIO tbh

#

for a 7800x3d it's best to use an AIO

you can use an air cooler, but in future if you want to upgrade, you'd probably need an AIO

old lodge
#

Oh it went down to 1638

#

Which part price changed i didnt see it

tidal osprey
#

none i just switched config

old lodge
#

what did u switch?

tidal osprey
#

to a different configurator

some are cheaper than others - but it depends on the parts you pick

so i just did some trial and error with most of the AMD configurators to find which one was cheapest for the same set of parts

old lodge
#

Oh mb i was looking at the wrong one😭

old lodge
#

@tidal osprey will this run 4k right?

tidal osprey
old lodge
#

Yay

old lodge
#

cuz im thinking i might just change the fans to the black corsair ones, otherwise i got fans that are rgb and others that are white/pale blue

#

same with liquid cooling, what if i swap it to this

#

i wanna keep those base fans that come with the pc, and try keep other parts black if possible

#

unless the rgb fans have custom colour options

tidal osprey
#

they can be changed

#

ARGB = Addressable RGB

old lodge
#

Oh good thats perfect

old lodge
#

@tidal osprey where would the monitor connect to

#

so many god damn holes

tidal osprey
tidal osprey
old lodge
#

ok thanks!

old lodge
#

@tidal osprey what if i chose the cpu below the current one

#

Its about £50 cheaper

#

And i doubt there is much diff between the performance

#

What if i took that 7700x

tidal osprey
#

the 7800x3d is a very good gaming cpu

#

x3d chips are pretty much the best so I advise going with one

old lodge
#

Alr then :)

old lodge
#

@tidal osprey might be able to order today

old lodge
#

chaos in there😭

#

Poor cleaners

old lodge
#

@tidal osprey REEEEE

#

i have the greenlight to order

#

Can u pls just check it all to see nothings missing

tidal osprey
#

which one are u going with

old lodge
#

ik price for cpu didnt go down

#

but im still going for it

tidal osprey

but all fans slots are filled irght?

#

imma go with the first config, im sorry!

lmao

tidal osprey
old lodge
tidal osprey
#

nothing

#

the configurator itself was changed to get the lowest price

#

but the parts are the same

old lodge
#

oh so everything is the exact same, but made in a diff config?

tidal osprey
#

yeah

old lodge
#

oh, LEZ GOOO

#

ok i think imma order it now

#

brb

old lodge
#

How do u change the colours on the argb fans btw

tidal osprey
#

there is Armoury Crate, but i recommend using SignalRGB or OpenRGB

old lodge
#

Is that a thing i need to download?

old lodge
#

Cuz i saw a vid from yt and it said u gotta buy a cable in order to do it

#

Which is odd because the fans should be fully operational when i buy emkek
