Thanks for creating a spec thread!

Please be sure to include answers to the following questions so people can assist you quicker.

  • What is the purpose of your PC/laptop? (e.g. gaming, general work, 3D rendering)
  • What monitor resolution will you be using? (e.g. 1080p, 1440p, 4k)
  • What is your budget including currency symbol? (e.g. £2,000, 1000€)
  • Which country are you purchasing from? (Note that we only operate in the UK and Europe)
  • Any brand preferences?

Mostly gaming with some general work.
1440p / 4k.
Ideally under 3k
Uk £££
No preference high performance low cost 😁

#

Thinking maybe going for 14700k instead?

Any advice on the cpu?

toxic hawk
#

i would go for amd since am5 will be supported for at least a few years into the future so you may not need a motherboard replacement

#

whilst intel is at the end of the platform so any cpu upgrade would need a new motherboard

#

which amd cpu someone else would have to help out there

👍

compact field
#

If you want to go lower in price you could change the GPU to a 7900 XTX. While slower with RT its faster in rasterisatzion.

#

And I just tried and could select the 7800X3D. Perhaps it‘s stock again.

#

Also I‘d remove the norton. It‘s very inefficient and not really usefull

#

And do you need 7TB storage?

toxic hawk
#

yeah norton just causes more problems than it fixes

trim tendon
#

Ah ok il take a look. I have never used an amd gpu before and I have that stick to what you know mentality. Yesh my old pc had 5tb storage and was almost full. Nearly 3tb of just work related photos!

#

Been thinking of dropping the extra fans. And going 4000d for the case

#

As its slightly smaller and cheaper

4080 and a 360mm aio probably won't, you'd want something bigger, like the 5000 corsair cases, or stick with the lian Li case

trim tendon
#

Ahh ok well otherthen that you think it's good to go?

burnt tinsel
#

you got alot going on on the fans, , link, corsairs other connectors for the AIO, and the Lian Li fans, thats not ideal to ahve 3 different ecosystems

trim tendon
#

Yeah I wasn't sure about the fans. I would like to just have 1 brand of fan that I could control from 1 application.

#

then I recommend opting for the be quiet! case, and the frost flow 360

#

all "standard" 3 pin RGB and PWM headers

trim tendon
#

Would there be much of a change in thermals

burnt tinsel
#

I doubt it, the be quiet case fans are 140mm fans

trim tendon
#

I was looking for an option to remove the fans that come with the case. So I can have them all linked with the same ones from the corsair aio fans. But eBay your saying makes more sense

burnt tinsel
#

if you wanted to go full corsair link, then I'd recommend , and opt for the link cooler, plus 6 link fans

trim tendon
#

Ah so the ones with the lcd display do not support link?

burnt tinsel
#

PCS don't stock the link w/ LCD screens, the link coolers are expensive enough as is, another 100ish quid on top for an itty bitty LCD screen isn't an easy sell, you can get it stand alone, but it will still cost a lot for how little it is

trim tendon
#

Just tried the 6500x and says it needs additional USB 3 headers. So I I think the be quiet option is the one I like atm

burnt tinsel
#

it doesn't need them, it just has more USB options than most motherboards can support

#

it's not like you'll be hurting for USB options with the rear IO

trim tendon
#

Thats true. Just nice to have everything can be used if wanted

#

in that case I really recommend the be quier! and the frostflow 360, equal cooling capacity, costs less, though on the downside it's a little louder

#

the cooler that is, the case is a very quiet one that still has airflow
