PC Feedback

[edgy idol]

Hi All

I would like some feedback on my PC build I am looking at putting together.
By budget is £3000 max and I intend to use this PC for gaming on top end graphics with high FPS. I use a 2k monitor and a secondary 1080p one.

I would like to know if its all compatible/work well with its components.

Thank you

you may as well just use m2s rather than a sata drive

you also dont need the extra thermal paste and id reccomend getting a ff360 rather than the 200

ff200 is the best they offer for air cooling but it will make accessing the ram harder if you ever need to access them

thank you 🙂

also get silver warranty it would cost more between month 6 and 12 to send it back to them

Echoing the points above, no reason not to go with m.2 drives nowadays as they are significantly faster and old format SSDs aren't much cheaper.

For purely gaming 32GB will be completely fine, you will get 0 benefit from 64GB for your use case.

You're paying an extra £200 to specifically get the Asus card. It's your money, and you're in budget, but I personally wouldn't spend that much extra to get a specific GPU model.

Thanks
Would the gaming pro or the shadow be a petter pick? Its a £30 difference so that might be worth the jump

All 3 have the same base 5070ti chip, so will all run within one or two frames of each other. They are all 3 fan cards so should have similar temps and volumes. You can research each card individually to see if there's any key difference, but my personal opinion is that they will all be near identical so there's no real point spending more to get a specific option.
