Thank you both! I may have to treat myself to the 4.5 ones then 😄

Hi, I'm looking for some speakers for a new PC. - Primary use is for gaming, but I will use the PC for everything else too: audio-wise this mostly means YouTube and some casual music making (absolutely nothing serious). - They'll be stationed on the desk either side of the monitor. - The room...

Thanks for your patience Spyder, I'm terribly indecisive with certain things, and being new to all this stuff, along with budget considerations and overwhelming amount of choice is a lethal combination. I really appreciate everyone's help here. I was initially hoping to stop at £1800 so £2k is...

Sorry, components besides the case and cooler? As it happens I've just had an email reply from PCS saying they can offer Corsair AF120 fans fitted into the Airflow 4000D case.

Thanks again Spyder. As a total novice, it's hard for me to know how much credit to give what I'm reading, but I feel obliged to keep checking second opinions for something this expensive. Yes, I'll definitely be going through PC Specialist. I've heard a lot of good things and ultimately, doing...

Thanks for that Spyder, and your previous replies too - very helpful! I read it on various reviews, though none were seemingly as thorough as the table you've posted. I'm also reading similar things about the Corsair coolers... These two are coming a lot for good quietness though, but not...

I've been doing some more research and apparently the Corsair Air 4000d has pretty loud fans... unfortunately it'll annoy me no end, I really do need something that's going to run as quietly as possible. Any recommendations for an alternate case? Or do I need to adjust the build instead? Many...

Another question: can I hook up two monitors to this build? Would the other two monitors only need an HDMI input each? Thanks again!

Just one more thing I want to ask about. Scott mentioned about coolers, particularly the H100i and H115i. I'm sensitive to noise so really am happy to go a bit extra if it will keep things smooth and quiet. Would love to hear any more opinions about coolers for the build above. Thanks!

Many thanks again! Just one more if you don't mind - sorry to keep asking but this would be a big purchase! I've been told to ensure the Ryzen 7800X3D processor will still hold up for games that may not be so well optimised for multicore, such as emulation and indie games. Since I do a lot of...

Ah, this is a good point. I would super appreciate the whole thing being as quiet as possible. I've read just now that the H115i has some constant pump noise or something. I imagine that for a gaming PC noise is going to be a problem at some point, but this is something I definitely want to...

Thanks so much for your recommendation! I've read some excellent things about that processor and graphics card. I've just done a tiny bit of tweaking: - Gone from RGB RAM to normal because the PC will be sitting on the left of my desk anyway. - Beefed the 2nd storage drive to P44 too because it...

PC layman here, looking for a gaming PC. I've only ever had laptops with no dedicated graphics card and I've decided it's time to play some of the games I've been missing out on over the years. Some basic requirements: - Not interested in FPS/big online competitive games. The configuration below...
