Delivered today, and once I'd installed all the windows updates, this motherboard does indeed have bluetooth working. Just in case any of the good people who advise others can use this info :)

And just this second, it's updated to building. Spec for reference: Case CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Six Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.6GHz/35MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard ASUS® TUF GAMING B550-PLUS WiFi (DDR4, USB 3.2, 6Gb/s) - ARGB Ready...

5600x & 3060 Ti 27-01-2021 Pre-Production 30 working days

ooh, that looks like Christmas!

5600X 3060Ti 27-01-2021, Pre-Production, 25 working days I've dithered about replacing this 10yo PCS build for about 3 years, so a week or two more won't hurt. It's nice to have something to look forward to tbh. When it finally arrives, I won't get the excitment of checking every morning...

Order: 27-01-2021 Pre-Production 22 working days 3060Ti & 5600x Good news above, gives me a couple of weeks to finish off Pillars of Enternity 2!

I guess that is what I meant. In a few years, I can think about a new monitor and maybe GPU at the same time if needed Oh, btw, I'm going to try for the Wifi motherboard, and see if i can the BT working. Will update here when I know, so others can advise in future.

I think maybe I'll think again about the need for BT and decide on that basis. Thanks for the advice everyone, and looking forward to joining the 3060 queue!

Thanks Scott - does the wifi motherboard also include bluetooth? I have plan to share mouse & keyboard with my work laptop due to the deskspace and wires everwhere. And I guess, does it have the same wifi performance (standards supported, antenna)? All in favour of saving 2 quid, fewer things...

Thanks, interesting on the storage config, I like it! I know what you are saying about the monitor & GPU power, but I'd prefer to be futureproof. I'm currently running it off an R9 270X, so I didn't see the need of going big Hz when I got it! Maybe in a few years. The motherboard is the one I...

https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-am4-gen3-pc/dNTpkchF6H/ Some office work, but mostly for gaming at 1440p at 60Hz I'm not a huge storer of media files I've removed the windows licence becasue I think I can transfer it from my existing (and 10y old) PCS build Budget 1500...

Weirdly, if you want an RM PSU, the 850 is £5 cheaper than the 750 at the moment, so that makes sense on both counts.

Thanks - I'm way down from wanting that level of GPU performance, will the reductions trickle down do you think?

I'm in need of a new PC soon. What's likely to be the difference in September? that new shiny things are available, or the things I can buy now will be cheaper? I spec'd up the following earlier https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-am4-gen3-pc/NCZUTN29Zr/ Now not sure whether...

Thanks again!
