Looking at the spec you've posted above, you're purchasing from Ireland and looking for the whole shabang? If that's the case then the below is what I'd recommend.
For your other accessories- The monitor will come with the cables it requires, I'd recommend sticking to a headset for gaming, if...
As another option, you could go for something like this: It swaps out the slightly more powerful 12600 for the fantastic value 12400F and the acceptable 1660 Super for a far more powerful AMD RX 6600 (a card that has performance like a 3060) which I'd argue is value champion GPU right now. Yes...
Heya! Couple questions first
What refresh rate/ hz is the monitor you're playing/ plan to play on? If you've got a 60hz display, then the 3070 would be ample, if you're looking for 144hz, then the 3080 would be the right choice.
Any reason for DDR5? It currently doesn't offer much performance...
Just before the end of AM3, AMD have striked back against Intel with 6 new CPU's to join the 5800X3D- The 5700X, 5600, 5500, 4600G 4500 and 4100.
With lower priced boards, this could really bring AMD back into contention for value builds!
Good choice and sounds like a plan!
For the USB C port, you could get something like this if you have an internal USB 3.0 header available? Not the prettiest but gets the job done. You might be able to find a cable but didn't see one in the 40 seconds of searching I did.
Yep! Z690 should be all good, it should also only be a few £ more
Looks good! I'd make the 2nd drive a PCS M.2 so your boot drive is faster then drop the thermal paste, Corsair AIO's come with high quality thermal paste pre-applied
Heya! Really solid start but a few areas we could adjust here, but a question first, what monitor will the PC be used with? (either make and model or resolution and refresh rate would be ideal!) It's important to know so we can get the right GPU pairing, once we have that we'd be happy to adjust!
Sounds like a good plan (y) Always nice to have a bit saved up for future upgrades ;) Would you mind posting the latest spec you're looking at? Would be good to see it as a whole so we can give it the go ahead!
Do you still plan to buy later in the year? If so I'd wait a couple more months and hold off and buy a 4080 first time round in Sept/Oct.
I've said a few things that has alluded to my uncertainty about it, I'd recommend either looking through or posting in some Sim racing forums to see what...
This was on my mind. When I had my PCS branded RGB case, they were all plugged into a propritary hub which was SATA powered then used a remote for control. Now I don't know if this case uses that system, but a taking off of the back-side panel or a call to PCS would probably give you your...
Very nice!
Realistically, aside from a couple of titles, you won't really need 32GB of RAM, if you were to plan to get into video editing then 32GB would become useful, but 16GB for the majority of titles would be fine
The 12600K will be cooled amply be the H100i. It's a weird CPU temps wise...
Assuming you mean the H511, very much so, it's known to be a bit oveny where as the 4000D and Meshify are fantastic high airflow cases.
I don't believe the 4000D does either. If your NZXT case fans do you could always transfer them over? For case fans it's not the end of the world, but it's...
No worries! It indeed will be, although performance wise I'm not sure what to expect. It might be asking around on some sim racing forums to see how peoples systems perform
The 1000W has been put in with future upgradability in mind. Realistically 850W will run this system fine, but with GPU's...
Thanks for this info! You're almost there on a lot of this, just a few more changes to make and you've got it.
The only other thing I'd add is at this price, you could spend another £70 or so on the Corsair Braided Cables, while they won't add to your FPS in any way, they'll really help the...
Hey all!
With the 2022 Season inching closer, I thought I'd make a fresh thread to look forward for what will hopefully be another super enticing season. Who are your favorite drivers? Which teams are you backing this season? Any bold predictions? 👀
One of our lovely Discord members has set...
No worries, it was pretty late!
Yep, PCS has a pretty great upgrade system if you're not confident in doing upgrades yourself, I believe it's a flat fee of £60?
