I actually amended the order to yours @Aza. 12 cores will be a good balance for both work and gaming I think. Plus it actually removed £29 from the order previously so thats awesome.
Many thanks for all of your help @SpyderTracks @Aza @MrWilson you're all credits to this community and I'm glad...
Oh okay, thats very interesting as I had no idea, thanks!
One last question lol Is there much of a difference between the ROG X570-F and the Crosshair VIII Hero? Other than the obvious of built in WIFI?
Okay cool. As this machine is a mix of gaming and work then something like this as a "final draft" build would be alright?

Again, many thanks for the advice and help. Greatly appreciated!
It basically replicates the infrastructure my company has via Kubernetes on my local machine and allows multiple microservices to work locally. Some are utilising really beefy third party libraries that suck up RAM and like quite a few cores to run smoothly without me waiting an age for any...
Biggest would probably be around 470mm in depth, width and height arent really an issue.
As for monitor upgrades, thats more of a desk space limitation at the moment, hence the future upgrade
Currently just getting back into the gaming world, so looking at games like RDR2, Warzone, MSFS.
32GB minimum would be due to my software development work that utilises Docker and that is very RAM hungry to have multiple containers running at the same time.
The only downside is case size...
Ah okay, thanks for the reply. The URL for reconfiguring is here https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-am4-gen3-pc/hruyN5mEcc/
Do you have any suggestions as to what should be changed?
Budget is something i'd like to keep around 2.7/2.8k
Used for Gaming mostly, some game work in UE5 as well.
Current monitor is an AOC 1080P, nothing super fancy right now
