Ok, I'll see what I can sort out! Thanks again all.

So what mobo and AMD CPU would you recommend? I can't be bothered with the faff of cancelling but if I speak to PCS direct they may amend it for me.

I've been streaming on an 8yr old Intel CPU for over 2 years, it's done just fine.

OK, I've got a decent cooler for the CPU (I think!) but the upgrade to Strix was basically the same amount that I saved by dropping to a 3070 so may as well!

Out of interest would there be any benefit in changing the mobo to the ASUS® ROG STRIX X299-E GAMING II?

There is no firecuda in the configurator? Don't know if the motherboard supports a 4th gen M.2 maybe?

The initial post has been updated with the final spec of the PC.

Thanks all, I bit the bullet this morning and changed to the ASUS TUF Gaming 8Gb 3070 which actually showed as in stock on the PCS site! I don't need 4K gaming, I need a PC better than my current 8yr old one and I need it before this one dies so it's the right choice. If I need to upgrade in a...

It's definitely a tricky balancing act, the only 3070 PCS have are the 8Gb, vs. the 10Gb 3080 but I'm not genned up enough on the cards to know what difference that makes, As for 4K, while I run 3 1080p monitors at the moment within the next 12 months I'll definitely be getting at least one 4K...

Ok, modded my build to include the new cooler, case and PSU. Drive wise I don't mind waiting, I have a 256GB SSD and 4TB HDD at the moment and they are both full to bursting. I'll be using the PC for video editing so I really don't want to be short on fast r/w disk space if I can help it. I...

Yeah, the delays are bad enough already, waiting till at least May for just the SSD drives. This PC was funded by my community and is needed for my business, the performance improvements from AMD aren't really worth the delay for me personally. That said, I've got a bit of extra budget so...

Unfortunately I can't move off of the current CPU but I'm interested in what power supply and pump you'd recommend? As for the drives, I copied the wrong spec, the 2nd NVME drive is actually a 2TB Samsung 970

Thanks to my wonderful community, I've just ordered this beast! No idea how long I'm going to be waiting though... *this post has been edited to reflect the final build after the discussions below. Case CORSAIR iCUE 5000X RGB MID TOWER GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Eight Core...

Budget is about £1,000. It's mainly to be used for recording and editing audio and then general Word, Outlook, Excel etc. No gaming and ideally a quiet system but doesn't need to be silent. Key is the ability to support 3 monitors (hence the selected GPU even though it's not for gaming).

Hi All, Just got my PCSpecialist rig on Friday and in the main I'm really impressed, the only niggling thing is the front USB ports don't work. I've checked in the BIOS and all ports are enabled, anyone got any suggestions? Spec is as follows: Case PCS MAELSTROM T900 BLACK GAMING CASE...

Hi all, Not sure if this is the right place for this but need a hand with a speaker set! I'm buying an IPS LG monitor for both my new PC and Xbox however it doesn't come with speakers which starts my problem! I want to use the Optical out from my PC and my Xbox so I'm looking for a set of...
