I agree, apart from the drive and the monitor the rest is pretty much useless. For £3k you can get a powerful new PC.

Yes, most definitely. The 2060 is still a competent card. The 3050 should be avoided if possible.

And???

I used Qfan in bios, then used the optimise fans option. Then set my curves.

Do you need 32gb of RAM? Personally I would get 16gb then use the savings to put towards a better GPU. I would have two storage, one small n fast for the OS and another for storage. CPU is far too small. Use Windows 10, not 11. Ditch the Bull guard.

Without a little more info it sounds like it's the 'post' beep. If so that's perfectly normal.

Duct tape is like the universe, it has a light side, and a dark side. Be warned.

The above spec? I would have slaughtered my HR manager with a plastic spoon to get something like that on my desk.

If he has commander, he did mention somewhere he had the lighting node, if so that only does the fairy lights, not the whirly whirly.

First, decide what it is you are likely to need / want from your monitors. Is 24" the right size? Is full HD sufficient? Is 75hz sufficient or 'might' someone want to game on them? How much do you want to pay? Only you know the answers to these.

I would suggest that if they are all plugged in to the AIO socket (top right) then that's wrong. The fans would be better plugged in to the four pin headers (bottom). I would put the three Corsair front fans in one and the rear fan in another. Oh I wish I had a pic of your mobo!

I would, just to clarify whether there's an issue or not.

I've got the 220 case with three front (Corsair) and one cheapo as a rear fan. I control mine through the bios, cos I think that there Armoury Crate to be coded by Satan and his little imps. The trick for me was to use the 'optimise fans' option, mine's now whisper quiet.

That's a nice 24" monitor, very well regarded. As for the "what's best, Intel or Ryzen?" Argument? It's been firmly in AMD's corner for a while, until Intel came out with its 12th gen chips which have caught most people by surprise and now (in terms of performance) firmly rule the roost. Whether...

Next time I'm in Soldridge I'll have to give it a look see.

FWIW I used to work for an Italian food manufacturer, one, but only one of my memorable days was when we were looking at selling pizza. I spent an entire afternoon in a pizza manufacturers test kitchen in Naples just eating fresh cooked samples. "Yes, very nice, although, let's try that first...

Watch some of this guy's reviews, seems to know what he's doing. https://youtube.com/c/techlessYT

Or wait for Intel 13th gen. Coming down the tracks.

If it is indeed a 'negative cost' option then I for one don't see why not...........waits to get shouted at 🤦‍♂️

In my (admittedly minimum) experience, things like this can at first be terrifying, but having got to grips and actually doing it successfully gives a huge boost to confidence and is actually very enjoyable and rewarding.
