Sorry, these are for the parts I’m going to get built from PCS but before I order just wanted some opinions, (UK)
#PC specs.. would you change anything?
alpine epoch
wary glacier
i'm guessing you already have a gpu?
naive compass
Would help if we knew your budget and uses of said machine
alpine epoch
Sorry the GPU is the Asus 4080 OC TUF, did want strix but can’t see it available my bad
My budget would be like 4k I’d say
wary glacier
with a budget of 4k you'd be in the range of a 4090
alpine epoch
That’s only if I go for a founders edition , the 4090 Asus TUF is a extra 200 ish
wary glacier
pcs don't do FE cards
alpine epoch
Ahh ok I haven’t checked that
wary glacier
the factory overclocked cards generally aren't much superior if you're talking a 4090
even the worst brand 4090 is STILL a 4090 lmao
naive compass
What are you going to be using said machine for?
alpine epoch
Machine is for strictly gaming, 240hz 1440p at the moment
What games? I play everything haha
rose ether
4k is good enough for a full setup. You dont really need a 4090 or a 4080 for 1440p.

As Nym said theyre not FE cards, the 'unbranded ones in the configurator are generally Zotac, Palit or Gigabyte cards fyi - you don't get to choose - personally I've had all three brands before and all have been perfectly fine
alpine epoch
I haven’t upgraded in over 7 years hence the parts. I am debating to go 4k with a Samsung G9

Ah okay that makes sense, I just feel shall I just stick with 4080 or push to a 4090
wary glacier
if you're going to be getting a monitor like the g9 the 4080 or 4090 will certainly be able to do anything you want with great viewing experience
rose ether
I haven’t upgraded in over 7 years hence the parts. I am debating to go 4k with...
wait. How much resolution is the G9 again?
its like super wide.
alpine epoch
Yeah I think I’m pretty set on the Asus 4080 OC TUF, but everyone keeps telling me to get the strix card
Nah it’s not super wide , just 4k standard 32inch curved
alpine epoch
I was gonna get a g7 240g 1440p
wary glacier
i kinda advise against the factory OC cards since they're crazy price and the performance increase with those GPU's aren't massive
alpine epoch
Yeah I keep hearing that a lot
wary glacier
especially since the price difference between that 4080 tuf card and a 4090 is £100 lol
wary glacier
gaming not so much, things like renders it'll get toasty
alpine epoch
Yeah I don’t do any of that just games 🙂
naive compass
For gaming you dont need a 13900k
rose ether
a bit overkill for the price.
wary glacier
have you considered an amd cpu btw? since you're just gaming the x3d chips are a great choice
alpine epoch
Never used them, but was curious
wary glacier
the 7800x3d is probably what i'd say to go with for gaming
the 7900x3d is also an option but a fair amoutn more expensive
rose ether
I'd personally wouldn't suggest the 7900x3D. You're losing performance of a normal 7900x
alpine epoch
Artic thermal paste £9 should I add that rather than standard thermal
wary glacier
the cooler you chose comes with thermal paste and is more than fine
rose ether
Corsair should have their own thermal paste on the AIO.
At least if you're buying the Corsair AIOs
alpine epoch
Would you change any of the Corsair braided cables
Kinda wanted them
Guess it all looks really
alpine epoch
Yeah tempting
wary glacier
i made 2 4090 specs, basically the only difference is the cpu
alpine epoch
I’m coming from a i7-4770k and gtx 1080
wary glacier
one of my firends is still using their 1080 too 
they're planning to upgrade with a similar budget to you 
but yeah here's the intel build https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/intel-z790-ddr5-pc/xKjBySyJjZ/
both have basically the same performance
wary glacier
if you have any questions about the choices just shoot em in here
alpine epoch
I literally have no idea how big the difference will be
Gonna be crazy
Cheers
My pc is caked in dust
wary glacier
i went from a 2070 super to one of the new amd cards and the performance increase was insane
and considering you're going from a 1080 to possibly a 4080/90 you'll feel like you're on a spaceship 
alpine epoch
Yeah, it be nice to run games with high fps again, I’m gonna ask PCS if I can collect the machine when I order
I only live 30 mins away

Yes you can, you just need to let them know 🙂
