4k Gaming PC + streaming and photo/video editing

[p3rry]

Hi guys, I am planning to buy this spec and pair it up with 27GL850-B 27" 2560X1440 NANO IPS 144HZ 1MS FREESYNC/G-SYNC COMPATIBLE WIDESCREEN LED GAMING MONITOR. Can you please comment on this spec (particularly worried about power supply, motherboard that would be good for future upgrades, cooling and case). Some people say that airflow is not so good in this case. Any suggestions, recommendations? Thank you!

I would personally swap the RAM for 2 x 16 sticks.

I would also up the PSU to the RMx version, just a better PSU for the build

I'd also up the wifi card to the next version up which is only an extra 10er I think.

Just on the gaming side, you can happily reduce the GPU to the RTX2080 Super without affecting performance and save yourself a bundle.

Not sure if there's a misunderstanding with 4k, that's not a 4k gaming monitor?

As well as the above I would select a larger and faster M2 drive over the SSD you have selected.

They could always fill the empty slots with Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO Light Enhancement Kit ( Fake RAM ), if there wanting the aesthetic look of 4 sticks of RGB RAM, Just as i did with my build.

Hi Scott,

Sorry for the confusion, I've got a separate 4k monitor that I use for editing, however I want to buy 27GL850-B 27" for gaming. Thank you for the m2 drive recommendation, I upgraded to barracuda. I also have my own two 2tb ssd that will go nicely. I will go with RTX2080 Super instead of Ti.

Wow great, I didn't know that. Thanks, will do the same.

People will be along to help you for sure.

Did you mean "firecuda"?

This is mine,
The green arrows are my 8gb sticks of RAM, 16gb in total,
The blue arrows are the Light Enhancement Kits ( fake RAM )

you can find these kits on amazon, it's where i got mine.

P.s. Case seemed to be in stock when I ordered it. I will order two Light Enhancement Kits ( fake RAM ) and put in extra 2 SSD that I've got (2TB each). I went for M.2. as a system drive (250GB is more than enough for system and programmes).

I don’t think so, hmm strange. I just clicked checkout and paid. So should I call you guys on Monday and choose a different case? Pity as I really like that case, but August 22 is quite a long way, I need a new pc for my work in late July ideally. Another option is I can buy this case on amazon and forward it to your address?

 

[Scott]

Suggested build by @Nursemorph was more apt with the storage selections. 250GB isn't going to be anywhere near enough for your uses. The suggested 250GB drive was for a scratch drive, there was a 1TB firecuda for the main drive (Windows, programs & Gaming).

 

[p3rry]

Very odd. Might be worth ringing on Monday to double-check as that message has been showing for me for at least the last week, if not more

Thanks, will ring on Monday.

If you check your order on your orders page, or possibly even the confirmation email, it should state any date limitations from your order (I believe).
