I would definitely throw a second M2 drive into the mix as well. It doesn't need to be anything special but if you're putting games on the primary drive you're going to see it slowing down significantly if it's filled more than 50%. I would consider the 4070 Super as well, if you can get it for...

Can the PC overhang the unit at the front? Overhanging would be fine, even if it was a little unsightly. The power increase over the past 10 years is absolutely huge. The wattage that performance parts put out is very significant and with the way auto boosting works to increase the clocks it...

I would definitely spend the extra for a known case. The above is excellent for looking after your expensive components. Definitely worth holding off for a nosey of the pricing if you can though.

Extreme has you more than covered. It's certainly not what I would run, and definitely not in gaming, but if you're happy with the reduced wear and tear to the cooling then there's no real down side. I would be sure that you have the case fans at a good rate as well though. If the AIO is set to...

If you want to adhere to the budget, lowering the CPU & cooling in line gets you almost there. Case CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 7700 Eight Core CPU (3.8GHz-5.3GHz/40MB CACHE/AM5) Motherboard ASUS® TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI (AM5, DDR5, PCIe 4.0...

You're seriously compromising important areas of the build to attempt to shoehorn in some highlight parts. In order to opt for a 7800X3D and a 4060Ti you would need to up your budget in line with the below. This is the minimum I would want personally. Case CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS...

Agreed. I hope they've been saving up some proper twists and a plot for the last season. Thankfully Cobra Kai didn't disappoint. You know exactly what you're getting with that show and they always deliver :ROFLMAO:

Unfortunately you have under-estimated the costs of a true 4k gaming rig. A high end offering would be closer to £3k. The main components are so expensive nowadays. If I was spending on a 4k system nowadays, even trying to be frugal, the below is what I would want. Note that the next generation...

We need to manage your expectations here and point out the shortcomings of the system that you specced. Low-balling most of the spec in order to select a performance GPU is not the way any of us would recommend you spend your money. The first part of the PC you will replace is the GPU and the...

Also, from the measurements you have taken my guess is that none of them would fit in the space you have allocated. The cable protrustion has to be considered as well. I'm surprised you are working in a space that's less than 500mm in width though. How do you get in? :unsure:

Would it be possible to have it sideways, or on top of something to make it possible to fit? It's just physics and thermal dynamics unfortunately. If you put big hot components in a small space, they're going to heat soak rapidly. To counter this you have extraction and intake fans to generate...

The North TG is another option that's slightly smaller, if that was any use. You would need to lower the CPU cooler but that wouldn't have too much impact. Oh.. I would expect the savings to be a lot less than £500. You would be more looking at up to £100. The only area you would be saving...

I wouldn't recommend either of those cases and I certainly wouldn't go down to anything like a nano spec for a high end performance rig. In honesty the minimum I would look toward would be the 4000. The 3000 is an option too but it doesn't really save you much. Below is where I land for a...

I would completely reinstall windows from a fresh copy sourced from Microsoft. You need to have a license available to activate though. Copy and paste from @Martinr36 :) Clean install instructions Download a new copy of Windows using the (Second option on linked page) to an 8GB (min) USB...

Curious how the likes of a 7950X or 7950X3D would fare against those scores though. Money for a decent Mac is insane to me.

I would definitely wait until the 9000 are released but I wouldn't necessarily go with a 9000 series chip, unless of course you do get more bang for your buck in which case it's a no brainer. It's a very weird situation where we're getting new chips without the new chipsets/motherboards. I...

I had the 9900K prior to switching to AMD. That was also a hot potato. Granted I pushed it a little with overclocks, but it took everything I had available from the H115i when I was running intensive processes. They've always been hot. The 6700K I have in my laptop sounds like a jet engine when...

It's nothing short of a disaster, and that's putting it mildly. For me the fact that a company representative would openly put themselves out there with public negative statements against a company like Intel just shows how clear cut it is. There is no way anyone with any clout would put...

It's not that it isn't recommended. It just needs gated and controlled. It's a very important part of your system and can go catastrophically wrong if not handled correctly. The warranty clause is in there for your own protection as well as PCS, contacting them opens up the channel of...

No boards on release is very strange to me. If I was starting from scratch I would want the 800 series tbh. The ProArt board is a great example of why, the only really good reason to go for it is USB4/TB3. The latest boards will already have that ability, and I would hope the lesser models will...
