Thanks. It's quirky in other ways too (the CPU, the storage, and using Windows Professional all seem a little surprising to me), especially for a system that's primarily for gaming. You do kind of need to decide what display you'll be using in the long-term to make a build make sense. 4K60 is...

That's a quirky setup! I can't tell: what resolution will you be gaming at?

Might it create a bottleneck? Yes, in some circumstances, and the lower the resolution and settings the more likely. But that's realistically unlikely and you can always get rid of the bottleneck by turning the settings up.

I'd really strongly consider the send-in-your-own option. The price for most of the cases I've suggested above is pretty good and you get a much bigger selection so you can get what you actually want. The 5000T is very expensive if you're buying it based on size rather than aesthetic appeal.

The 6500X is a really good case. Definitely a good option if you're going that little bit flashier. Yes, you're best with two sticks of RAM. 6000MHz is normally best. Those Dominator sticks are really good, though: lower latency than the 6000MHz ones, so with your budget I'd be inclined to...

It's a great PC but I'd make a few changes to it. Can you include the green config link, please? What monitor will you be using?

I'd definitely be considering getting a case that I definitely wanted, rather than a compromise based on the PCS selection. You can do "send in your own case", so I'd personally be inclined to do that. It sounds like you want something not too wide (in the way the O11 models are) and relatively...

The USB-C stuff will be about the case having a USB-C port but that cheap motherboard not having the connector, so the port wouldn't work. This is fixable by not choosing the lowest-price/junk-quality motherboard. But basically this PC is not good. You have gone for the very cheapest possible...

That's certainly true of the FE cards and it's how they're so tiny, but all the AIB cards seem to be pretty conventional (and therefore pretty massive).

My only objection is that they're big, bulky and expensive, and the only benefits are aesthetic. But that's just me being functional with my taste in PC design. I'm sure they're really great cases.

Not at all. Let us know how you get on.

That's a decent graphics card (I have the same) but do note that it is unlikely to do a good job of high-settings 1440p gaming. It's getting a touch long in the tooth now and will be limited in many games by its 8GB of VRAM. That's not to say "don't get it", but it's not going to set the world...

What graphics card will you be putting into it? Basically a gaming PC setup has three key components: The monitor The graphics card (which provides data to the monitor) Everything else (which provides data to the graphics card) This system is obviously only addressing point 3. So you really...

That's only part of a PC! Basically, it only makes sense to look at the whole thing together in the round. Can you post the full build including the green config link? Also, what's the budget? What monitor will you be using? By the way, it doesn't actually make sense to think that running at...

We can't comment on other companies' products: this forum is for PCS only.
