The lafite is 800 grams lighter than the cosmos and because it uses an U processor with a lower TDP, I would say the battery life will be a lot better. It also has the better screen. Otherwise, the Cosmos should be marginally faster at the expense of a higher power consumption. For the uses you...

You are most welcome. For example the AMD build below will perform similar to the intel one suggested above and it is about £350 cheaper. This would leave you around £800 for a decent 4k screen or a QHD with high refresh rate but if you are in no rush, wait for the release of the new gen...

What monitor will you be gaming on? Is this to be included on the £3000? For this kind of budget you can go for a 4k monitor or a 2k with high refresh rate. The processor you chose is not really for gaming. The 9700k would be better suited. Overall is not a well balanced build. If you need this...

I don't think there is any benefit of having 2 x m2 ssd on a gaming laptop. The sensible option is to go with a 500gb-1tb m2 ssd for windows and games then add a 7200rpm hdd for all the other files which will not benefit from being stored on a faster drive. The intel ssd is also a bit slower...

Not a problem. Let us know how you get on with the system if you decide to go for one of the above options.

Your monitors are entry level. For that kind of budget you should have enough for a monster PC and a monitor to do it justice. Something like OHD high refresh rate or 4k. What kind of games are you playing?

You did well in choosing this motherboard and adding the pcie card. One thing to note though, the card you went for does not have bluetooth. If this is something you are interested in, have a look at the Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I. The i9 is a processor that runs very hot therefore, I would suggest...

You are spending a lot of cash on the SATA SSD. You could get the below build with a much better GPU if you swap the SATA SSD with a HDD. Chassis & Display Recoil Series: 15.6" Matte Full HD IPS 144Hz 72% NTSC LED Widescreen (1920x1080) Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i7 Six Core Processor 8750H...

If the 500grams extra is not a deal breaker, you could get the Vortex with a full 2070 and g-sync for about the same price. Otherwise get the recoil with 2060 as there isn't a lot of performance difference between the 2(if any). Also, get the silver warranty for an extra £5. Chassis & Display...

I think the motherboard is a bit overkill for this build. You could drop to the aorus ultra and use the savings for faster ram and a better monitor. Otherwise it looks well balanced.

Looks good but if spending this much money, I would go for a better ssd. The samsung one or wd black would be more appropriate for this build. The 2080ti should give you the frame rate you are after. Have you checked any benchmarks to see how the gpu is performing in fortnite? The 2080 should...

What resolution is your monitor? If it's the QHD, 144hz Aorus, you could go for the 2080 or the 2080ti, if maximizing the frames is your priority. You can have a look at some game benchmarks and see what sort of fps to expect from either of them.

Looks pretty good. I really like this case too and have read some good things about it. Depending on what GPU you are planning to upgrade to in the future, there may be a case of upping the PSU. For example, you get a warning notification if trying to pair an overclocked 9700k, with the rtx 2080...

Maybe something like this. If you don't need wifi you can drop the card and save £35. Case CORSAIR CRYSTAL SERIES 570X RGB GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.35GHz/20MB CACHE/AM4) World War Z & Division 2: Gold Edition FREE w/ select AMD Ryzen CPUs...

I think the model number would depend on the GPU. It would be something like NH70RxQ where the "x" changes in relation to the GPU selected. D=2060 C=1660ti A=1650 It's not exactly a review but you can find some users opinions here. The model PCS is stocking at the moment has the newer...

Intel build vs AMD build. They will perform quite similar at 4k. Do you have the 4k monitor or would you need to include this in the budget? Storage can be upgraded as per your needs. If not overclocking, you can go for the stock cooler on the AMD build as it should be more than adequate. The...

I believe the full chassis number is Clevo PB50RF-G. As far as I can tell, it is same chassis as in the video but with the newer processor. The Proteus is cheaper due to lack of g-sync. It also sports the older processor. If you look at both models, the Vortex has the smaller footprint due to...

If you are interested in the vortex you might find the bellow video useful. The model reviewed is the older version with i7 8750h but everything else seems to be the same. I have been looking at the 17" model but PCS do not stock this at the moment. Video

I would look at getting a better PSU for this kind of budget. The 850w rmx series would be better suited. If overclocking, it may be worth investing a bit more on the cooler as jerpers suggested. You could get similar performance for less if you switch to an amd build. A ryzen 5 2600x should...

Thanks for sharing your findings. I am more interested in the g-sync but would not be opposed to a 1440p screen with a high refresh rate if it comes in the 17" Vortex chassis. My Defiance 2 is still performing admirably so I can afford to wait for a while longer before pulling the trigger.
