Hello All, I've got a fairly new computer with the following specs (happy to add in more if relevant): Case FRACTAL DEFINE 7 BLACK QUIET MID-TOWER CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Six Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.6GHz/35MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard ASUS® TUF X570-PLUS GAMING (USB 3.2 Gen 2...

i can't find too many people talking about the standard 6800, but i ordered mine on launch day and am now in the build phase.

Well depends on your point of view. If you subscribe to the idea that there's no time like the present, then order now to enjoy a new build in January! Also, once the current stock issues have been resolved, and the hype about the new products has died down a bit, the major brands will be...

Thanks, I've decided to downgrade the primary storage drive too. Case FRACTAL DEFINE 7 BLACK QUIET MID-TOWER CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Six Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.6GHz/35MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard ASUS® TUF X570-PLUS GAMING (USB 3.2 Gen 2, PCIe 4.0, CrossFireX) - ARGB Ready! Memory (RAM)...

Hi all, I've posted here before and have the following build in the queue. I've recieved a notification this morning advising that the PSU is meeting stock difficulties so it gives me the chance to review my build. The advice I've previously recieved has been noted and suggested it was a bit...

hello again!, i'm right in thinking there's zero benefit in having a more powerful psu than is required, but perhaps going overboard on the cpu cooling may bring some small benefit - at least in terms of quietness? another question i have and i realise the answer is probably quite subjective -...

thanks again scott. I guess it's the cpu cooler and the 850w psu that are over spends? Even with an upgraded GPU would I be OK with a 750w? With the cooler i was thinking that a aio would be a bit quieter under load than a standard cpu cooler or an upgraded air cooler?

Hello again, I've started to think about this build again. There doesn't seem to be a firm release date for the 3060 yet, and the and GPUs are still about a month away, if I'm not wrong. My current thoughts are to be an interim GPU, see how I get on with that and possibly upgrade in the future...

Hi, thanks for the reply. Understood on the motherboard. The monitor is MSI Optix AG32CV Full HD 31.5” which is 1080p @ 165hz (although I haven't purchased that just yet). Possibly waiting on black friday to provide some good deals. With the 1440p option, are you suggesting that an upgrade to...

Hi Folks, I've read some of the sound advice going around these forums and have also read the Sept 2020 buyers guide which was really helpful. My aim is primarily to get a PC before too long, hence avoiding the new CPUs and GPUs that are launching at the moment. Although as others have...
