Solid start, the 9950X3D is the ‘have it all chip’ and will smash gaming and streaming on the same system. The 5000T and LCD display on the cooler are both luxury picks, they are both great, but by no means essential, so would be the first things I would look to cut back on to fit your budget...

Monitor Wise, you can't really go wrong with a 4k OLED display, but if you are currently using a dual monitor setup you could consider Ultrawide or Superwide as well. Case FRACTAL NORTH TG XL GAMING CASE (BLACK) Sticking with this option, all of your RGB (besides the motherboard) will be able...

Ah true, I forgot the VRAM, that 12GB really is disappointing, you would really hope they bring out the 16Gb Super variant sometime next year… 5070ti it is then, I suspect that the 9070XT will beat it for price to performance, but if you want a 16GB Nvidia* card the 5070ti is probably the one.

Started (and finished) Toxic Town last night. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_Town Very well made, with great performances from Jodie Whitaker and Aimee Lou Wood (who is on a roll at the moment). Based on true events (with some creative licensing) of limb differences in newborn babies...

In that case, this is where I would look. This will be ready to just add in a 5070 when they drop next week. There is headroom in the PSU to allow for a GPU upgrade down the line if you wanted to step up to a higher resolution and/or an OLED display at some point. Having done this earlier this...

If I were in your shoes, which is how I generally try to spec systems for people on here, I would definitely look at upgrading your current system rather than buying new, as you’ll get more value from it. GPU wise we have the 9070(XT) and 5070 releasing next week, we will have to see where...

Really hope that ‘Wide Availability’ actually correlates to a decent level of stock. Looking forward to 3rd party reviews and to see if we can actually buy 9070XTs for £650 or below, if so we should have a real winner on our hands, next Thursday should be a fun one!

Wow, a Wilson spec! You've got the 1000W PSU on there (hopefully) so you've got room for an upgraded GPU. It'll be worth seeing what's happened with pricing towards the end of the year, and see if all the kinks have been ironed out of the 5000 series launch. Potentially you may benefit from...

Ah apologies, still get those mixed up. Thanks Spyder (y)

All the G sync compatible options are on the newer WOLED panel which has the 800R curve. G sync compatible isn't really neccessary these days though, most monitors are Freesync and will work fine with Nvidia, AMD or Intel GPUs. For purely gaming I wouldn't look past the classic Alienware, if...

The monitor is a 60hz display, which we wouldn't recommend for gaming nowadays. It will work very well as a secondary screen though. Depending on your budget we can look at matching a monitor to suit. But at this point we would be looking at speccing a full system out with you. Looking at the...

I assume the limited GPU selection is based on what PCS can source in white. If this is important to you I would recommend calling PCS and explaining your situation, and seeing if they could either order on the Luna configurator without a GPU and then amend to add the 7900XTX (likely won't be a...

I would swap out the drives from the Samsung options as we have reports of failure, and they have lower endurance than other PCS offerings. I wouldn't recommend the PCS cooler, if you really want a white cooler we can run this through the Luna (white) configurator; it will be more expensive but...

You're probably looking at around a week for your PC to go into build so I wouldn't worry too much about this. The alternative would be to go for a more expensive case option that is in stock. Tony outlined the reasoning for the 1000W PSU above This is as intended, you want Windows installed...

It's your money. With that change in mind I would probably look at a slightly larger case as the 5090 is going to be pulling a lot of power and generating a lot of heat, something like the Corsair 5000X might be a sensible switch. You will definitely want the 1200W PSU here too. With a 5090 you...

For 1440p the 5090 is way overkill. On top of the current issues reported with the 5090 the 5080 is a grand cheaper and even that will be overkill in a lot of titles. With 1440p in mind I would wait for the 5070ti to release next week, sticking with the 5080 for now. Case CORSAIR 3500X ARGB...

Looks like a monster build, but there are definitely some areas for optimisation. Please could you provide the information specified above, and we can have a look at refining this a little.

The main saving is the GPU. I have upped your cooler to the newer Titan series as this has improvements on the pump and other areas. I took out the extra fans as they won't be strictly necessary, but can be included back in for aesthetics, and the extra airflow certainly won't hurt. The PSU...

That's a 1080p display, it also uses the older TN display format which is poor image quality by today's standards. Pairing the build above would be like buying a Ferrari and then only driving it at 20 on a bumpy country road; it'll look good but you can spend a lot less for the same performance...

Taken this from a build I specced up earlier today, just removing the 4TB drive as you've mentioned you have some drives to add in, and took the LCD screen off the cooler, as that is more for aesthetic appeal than a neccessity. We would stay away from the PCS AIOs as we have no real data on how...
