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€)
  • Is this budget just for the PC or do you need peripherals as well? (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard etc.)
  • Which country are you purchasing from? (Note that we only operate in the UK and Europe)
  • Any brand preferences?

If you don’t get a reply right away, please avoid reposting the same question in other channels. The community does its best to help, but responses can take time - someone may still come by with an answer soon!

#

any preference in terms of appearance? white build or colors? RGB heavy or light?

alpine rivet
#

Thanks for asking. About the aesthetics I prefer something minimalist but also elegant, could be with light-mid RGB and black build

#

If you want I can share a picture about my console set up so you can have an idea 😊

#

you'll need to chat some more before you can send pics here, but I think I get it,
RAM, cooler, and case fan RGB?

#

do you want a fishtank style case, or more traditional?

alpine rivet
#

Ohhh alright understandable. Well if is possible the RAM, cooler and case fan yes they would look fine on RGB.

About the case I’m very indecisive 😅, I saw some with wood and other with fishtank style but a fishtank style would be nice. I think Lian-Li cases looks good full black builds

here's the case I recommend right now, fish tank, but has good thermals with the radiator mounted on the front/side

Gosh thank you so much! 😊

(Could it be possible to have a 5090 on this build?)

Also if is possible a bit more fans. I know the price is already an amazing but I need the best I can have with the budget I have, do you think you can make it more like 3,5k. Sorry and thanks 😊 😅

the case itself comes with 3 fans stock, the cooler will have 3 more, and I added another 3, the case itself just doens't fit more

#

also, while there are cases that can take more fans, more fans also means more noise

alpine rivet
#

Yes just realized about that🫠

Thank you so much😊 I’m going to buy this one. The most promising I’ve seen so far!!

boreal horizon
#

the top 3 fans are admittedly less visible, you could probably leave the RGB out of those fans entirely

#

looking down, the top fans aren't visible unless it's directly down

alpine rivet
#

I’ll have that in mind, eventually though i might have to just for non-RGB on the 3 fans

if you are short or the PC is higher up than desk level, you'd see them

PCS don't ahve the case available in white, you can maybe arrange a special order with #📞support directly though

alpine rivet

#

yes, but will you be able to get the best use of it?

the issue with 4k is unless you plan on using a 32+ inch screen, you don't see any difference to a 1440p monitor, and you do clearly ahve money, so a 4k oled that big probably isn't an issue, but if you don't have the room for a massive display like that, 1440 is just fine, and you get higher FPS with it
