Fair enough, in that case please could you let us know your budget as stated above so we know what we’re working to.

Hi there, This build could do with some adjustments. Firstly, if you’re able to, I would recommend holding off for a little while. New AMD CPUs drop in September which are on a new platform and will offer much more upgradeability and longevity. If you don’t want to wait (which if this PC is...

As you are on finance, amendments are a bit different. I believe that you pay or are credited the difference, and the finance agreement made with Hitachi isn’t touched, but best to contact PCS about this as I might be wrong! Case LIAN LI LANCOOL 215 GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i5...

If this is purely for gaming you can cut down to 16GB of RAM. Very few games will require more than that (MSFS and a few heavily modded titles) and it’s an easy upgrade down the line. For £100 more the 3070ti doesn’t offer enough over the 3070 for me to recommend it, especially as you’re over...

If you’re able to hold off purchasing I would strongly recommend it. We’re expecting new AMD CPUs to drop next month, and new GPU releases from both AMD and Nvidia later this year. If this isn’t a PC you NEED e.g you use it for work and your current has just died I would strongly recommend...

You’ve mentioned futureproof in your post, but even without that I would strongly recommend holding off for a couple of months before purchasing. New AMD CPUs drop in just over a month on a fresh platform, and we will see new GPUs from both Nvidia and AMD later this year as well. If this is a...

Pretty strong attempt, but there’s a few areas I would strongly recommend changing. First question is: how urgently do you need this PC? New AMD CPUs are rumoured to be out in a month which will have a very high chance of taking back the performance crown. If you can’t wait I.E this is a PC...

Hi there, Congratulations on getting married! If you’re looking for a high end gaming PC (and 4K is high end) I would definitely advise holding off a little longer if you’re able. The new AMD CPUs are likely to be officially announced next week, and we have the new generation of GPUs from AMD...

Somewhere along the lines you managed to switch out the 3060 for the 3080ti, which is a 4K gaming card! This brings you back closer to budget, and reverted your storage back to the 980 pro 670p combo as recommended above (and what I have in my own PCS rig!) Case CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED...

Happy to help spec something out for you in a few months time 👍🙂

Hi Daniel, Is this purely for gaming? No streaming, editing, etc? What monitor are you pairing this with? The big question is how urgently do you want it? Next gen GPUs are only a few weeks away, with next gen CPUs coming later in the year. If this is a PC that you WANT, and not one that you...

£5k is a lot of money, and while it’s hard to go wrong with that sort of budget, you can definitely get a lot more performance and a well balanced compared to what you’ve specced above. If you could please answer the above then we can work speccing you something more appropriate

The Frostflow air coolers are pretty solid. The Frostflow 150 will be fine for the 12400f as it’s not a very hot CPU. The Frostflow AIO coolers are still a bit of an unknown, and many regulars tend to avoid recommending them because they stick with what they know. Dropping down to a 500/512GB...

Adjusted build from @ThoRob a little. Case CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 5700X Eight Core CPU (3.4GHz-4.6GHz/36MB CACHE/AM4) For gaming this is fine. A lot cooler than the 5800X so cooling is sufficient, I wouldn’t want the Frostflow with the 5800X...

I would want to rebuild this from the ground up to be honest, there’s quite a few areas I would change. Please can you tell us your budget, use case, and the monitor that you’re pairing with this, and we can try and spec out something a bit more suitable for you.

Biggest change here is switching to the 12400 CPU. For purely gaming this will give you all the power you need, and it means that you can save a good chunk on cooling as it’s thermal output is much lower than some of the higher end variants. Moved you over to a 2 m.2 setup. You’re under budget...

Hi there, So firstly, M.2 drives are a different form factor to older SATA SSDs, they attach directly to the motherboard and have faster speeds as a result (very dumbed down version, there are much smarter people on here who can explain in more detail if you ask 😂) And just to confirm, we’re...

Hi there, Were you looking for advice on this build or are you happy with what you’ve specced out? While it’s not really lacking in any areas there would be some optimisations I would recommend. If you’re happy with your build then I wish you all the best, but if you’d like some advice please...

These are the edits I would recommend. Case CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE understand your desire for a plain case, this is the case for that, with decent airflow and no RGB. Cases are often overlooked but are very important. Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 5700X Eight Core CPU...

Before you go any further, I would just like to check how urgently you want this PC? New CPUs, GPUs, and other components will be releasing in a few months and come the end of the year £2k will net you a lot more performance than you can get now. If I was in your shoes I would hold out, but it’s...
