Honestly, I think you're pretty much there! RAM- I'd tend to stick to 3200mhz with the PCS options, if you were going to be video editing or using the PC for creative tasks then I might opt for 3600mhz, but as you say, due to the CL timings of the RAM, it means there's a very minimal difference...

Heya! Some changes we could make here. In terms of monitors, are you going to use your current one? If so what is the make and model or resolution and refresh rate of that monitor? Or do you plan to buy a new one with this PC? If so do you have a budget in mind?

Yes. It simply doesn't make sense to spend £4K on a PC for your needs, you're talking about diminishing returns after the point were at now. And yes, 11th gen Intel was poor, 12th gen intel is the current generation and significantly better

I can't even get to £4,000 on a build, not even close. I'd recommend going 12th gen- 11th gen was a bad generation, especially at the top end. This system should be an absolute beast for you. I'll let others recommend high end 4K 144hz monitors, it's not an area I'm too clued up on. Any...

There's a lot I'd change about the build, but it's just pointless spending £1000+ on a GPU if you've got a 1080p 144hz monitor which would run fine on a GPU for a third of the price. If you've got a £3500-£4000 budget, we could just recommend a PC and monitor pairing for that money? Then you...

What resolution is it? 1080p? 1440p? 4K? And I'd highly recommend upping the resolution before you up the refresh rate (240hz is pointless for most people)

Heya! Is the monitor you're after included in this budget? Or is there a seperate budget? If so, what sort of figure were you thinking? For a build like this you'd be looking at about the £300 for a suitable monitor.

Heya, as this is the forum for the system intergrator PC Specialist, we won't be able to help you with a self build here. Your best bet would be an open forum like Tom's Hardware or LTT, or the r/buildapc reddit. Best of luck with your building endeavours!

Heya! Before we begin, I'd recommend a watch of this: After that, we'll need a bit more info before we're able to assist. What resolution and refresh rate will you be playing in? 4K is vastly more demanding than 1080p for example. And what is "a lot of money"? It's kind of relative to each...

Heya, there's a number of things I'd recommend changing in this build. Before we're able to assist would you be able to answer these questions? 1) What's the budget for this PC? 2) What games will you be playing? And do you plan to do anything else with the PC? 3) What monitor will be used with...

For the white parts, PCS will use whatever stock they have. The motherboard will be white along with the case you're sending in, you could add some white braided cables and you might get lucky to recieve a white GPU (although statistically incredibly unlikely). The above seems like a pretty...

Heya! Honestly looks like a solid build, although if you're looking for top performance, Intel 12th gen is currently the way to go. For monitors, I'd recommend looking externally. Our current go to options are the Dell S2721DGF, Gigabyte M27Q and ASUS VG27AQ which should all be available for...

Bit late to the party but I thought I'd throw in some food for thought. The 6600 (which gives 3060 like performance) is £10 cheaper than the 3050 (which performs like a 1660TI) and £16 cheaper than a 2060 (which gives 2060 performance 😂). Yes it's not quite there in features (although AMD have...

If you go ahead with the purchase it would be great to see some before and after pics as well as some temp testing? 👀

You wouldn't need a bottom fan in the front of the NZXT case anyway, especially as you have no hard drives in the spec. With the positioning of the AIO it'd still cool the CPU and GPU which realistically are the only things that need cooling. Just because there's a fan slot doesn't mean it...

Heya! Before you swap the case, it might be worth reading these points of the PCS warranty: If you're happy to continue, I'd have 2 recommendations 1) NZXT H510 Flow: If you like the look of your current H510, you could go for it's high airflow brother the NZXT H510 Flow in Black or White...

Heya! If you're able to stretch the budget a bit further this is what I'd recommend, especially if you're looking to improve longevity and upgradability of your system. Any questions, ask away! Case LIAN LI LANCOOL 215 GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i5 Six Core Processor i5-12400F...

Where are the before and after pictures god dammit ;)

I'm aware we already have the Meshify 2 on the configurator but it's a bit of a long boi and incredibly expensive (at time of writing anyway). This review has just made me really want to see the 2 Compact up there- it's a super classy case, especially in this grey colour, it looks fantastic 👌...

It's really down to personal preference. Personally, I think if you're going for a white build you need to go for as much white as possible, otherwise it can look a bit odd, but others might disagree with this. A good way to see for yourself would be on a site like PCPP then selecting a white...
