ok thanks @Nursemorph , I'll stick with the H500, re. the cooler if the frostflow is going to be similar performance and noise i'll prob go for the frostflow.
Reviews online for the Coolermaster suggest it can be quite noisy.
Very tempted by the CORSAIR H100X /W QUIET FANS but quite expensive.
H100i admittedly very good but seems a tad overkill and was hoping to not drop 100 on a cooler if i didnt have to.
How does the PCS frostflow 240 compare in performance and volume?
Also considering switching the COOLERMASTER MASTERCASE H500 for the NZXT H511, any suggestions on which is better...
thanks both, in that case, 750 RMx is fine, any suggestions for CPU cooler?
i want decent performance (won't be overclocking) but keen on keeping the noise down.
Hi All
Might be a bit soon for this but wondering if you have any suggestions regarding the CPU cooler for the 5600X and is 650w enough?
this is the current spec, which will be swapped for 3070 & 5600X.

ISP is See the light. its a new build house and they are one of a small selection of providers. To be fair they have been very supportive and the speeds are great, the WiFi from the router was shocking and I got a d3cent deal on the deco mesh through work.

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right forum for this, hopefully is.
I've got a TP-link M9 Plus Mesh FTTP setup and was originally using it in router mode but kept getting Double NAT on my xbox.
I contacted my ISP and they've told me that the router they supply does not support bridge mode. So I am...
Thanks @Nursemorph
Realised my SSD is 1TB, so will change the primary from a 1TB to the EVO 500GB M2 for the OS and my existing 1TB for games.
Suggestions all make sense, will adjust to those. Comes out at just under £1500 which is great.
Will i need any extra case fans?
Assume the 3600XT will...
Hi All
Posted on here a couple of times, was going to order a while back but decided to wait till the new nvidia cards have been released on everyone's advice (the wait is killing me!)
Last thread got merged into an old unrelated thread please do not merge
This is the spec I've put together...
Thanks Nurse, makes sense I’m running 8gb myself not had much problem but get your point. Bit out of his budget at the mo.
doing mine once new hardware comes soon, will be back asking for more advice. :)
Thought that might be the case.
Found this deal for £250, appreciate it won't have much longevity to it.
AMD Ryzen 3 3200G - 3.6/4.0Ghz
ASUS A320M-K
CORSAIR 8GB DDR4 3000Mhz
240GB Sata3 SSD - ADATA
AMD VEGA 8
500W Power Supply
Was thinking a nvidia 1650 installed might make this viable?
Hi Peeps
Looking to help my brother get a budget gaming PC wanted to see what the suggestions were when on a budget (about £400).
looking to play WoW, Football manager and some CS GO.
Doesnt need a monitor or peripherals. will be 1080 monitor. Nor Windows.
Any suggestions?
Cheers

They were the concerns I had.
Always liked Lian Li cases, but PCS have enough case options I don’t think I’ll about sending in my own.
thanks all, think I’ve got enough info to make my decision.
Appreciate the help.
Thanks for the help Oussebon.
Last thing, I've always liked the idea of an SFF Case but never felt comfortable building one myself (but as i'm not building this one)
Are they worth considering for a gaming build? Space isn't an issue just like the idea of having something smaller.
Spec idea...
Thanks for the info, so considering dropping the CPU/MOBO as suggested, think i'm going to keep the RX 5700 should be enough for my QHD gaming and will allow me to keep my overall budget under £1300 inc monitor.
Is the PCS frostflow 24 any good? never used watercooling, any maintenance...
Nothing specific, console gaming at the mo as current pc is unreliable and Long in the tooth.
WoW, COD, rpgs, mmos, playing fallen Jedi atm.
Is it worth considering a 32” monitor 4K? the scaling issues I’ve read have been putting me off...
Hi Peeps

Hi peeps
Bought a PC from PCS few years back and touch wood (giggity) has been solid since day 1, mostly used for gaming, photoshop and some prem pro.
Over the last 3 months i've noticed the a fan(s?) speeding up intermittently, temps have been fine so didn't think too much of it but today...
