    PCSPECIALIST 3070 gaming build, advice on spec pls - new thread pls do not merge

    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 @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.

    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?
