Impressive but needs some RGB to finish it off😁

That's what I figured and I didn't think the 22nd would count either as that's the day I ordered it on. Based on that it looks like they are shipping 7-10 days longer than initially indicated which is quite a long way out since it is up to twice the initial date. However it is not a problem for...

I ordered mine on the 22nd Dec quoting 9 to 12 working days. It has just gone into pre production today. The site says it is on 12 working days now however I work it out as about 9. When I contacted them yesterday they estimated dispatch would be some point the week after next.

The exact monitor is. Acer Nitro VG270Ubmiipx 27 Inch Quad HD Gaming Monitor (IPS Panel, FreeSync, 75 Hz, 1 ms)

Thanks for the explanation, it made perfect sense. My spec is now Case FRACTAL FOCUS G BLACK GAMING CASE (Window) Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i5 Six Core Processor i5-10400F (2.9GHz) 12MB Cache Motherboard ASUS® PRIME B560-PLUS (DDR4, USB 3.2, 6Gb/s) - ARGB Ready! Memory (RAM) 16GB Corsair...

I made the chage you suggested to the cooler but also used some christmas money to upgrade the gpu to the AMD RX 6600. I also upgraded the PSU to the 650w. My question is whether the motherboard is still OK? Is it PCIe4? If not will it throttle the gpu?

I should say that I went with a suggestion from someone with a lot more knowledge than me on this forum. It wasn't my original build. (I originally wanted to spend 600-700)

This was £800 and should serve your purposes. Case FRACTAL FOCUS G BLACK GAMING CASE (Window) Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i5 Six Core Processor i5-10400F (2.9GHz) 12MB Cache Motherboard ASUS® PRIME B560-PLUS (DDR4, USB 3.2, 6Gb/s) - ARGB Ready! Memory (RAM) 16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4...

Thank you for all your help. Especialy sck451. I ordered your suggestion in the end with minor changes due to availability. £800 is a lot of money for me so hope my daughter likes it now. Case FRACTAL FOCUS G BLACK GAMING CASE (Window) Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i5 Six Core Processor...

I bought my last pc without Windows. Download direct from the MS store then just purchase the product key. I can get from my sons university for a fraction of the cost. (Education edition)

Thank you for the detailed reply. I know I am very much at the budget end of the spectrum but can't justify spending much more. I guess I might have to stretch another 100 if your suggestion makes it more future proof.

The only other option was the Athlon duel core which was a bit cheaper but I'm guessing is not as good as the Intel.

Thanks for the advice. The main reason I went Intel is that the equivalent AMD was more expensive when I tried to build it. Am I missing something? The reason I left Windows off was because it is cheaper to buy a key elsewhere. I am on my phone but will see if I can paste the AMD build I...

Can anyone recommend cost savings I could make? I don't care what the case looks like but this seemed to have decent cooling and I am hoping might be a bit quieter than some of the cheaper ones. It is for my daughter to do homework and gaming (Minecraft, SIMs and genshin impact at the moment but...
