Build times at the minute are roughly around 22-26 working days to despatch.

There are a number of optimisations we can make to this build though to help you get the most for your money if you're interested

 

[Rixs]

Of course, what would you suggest?

edit: i also ordered without operating system

 

[Steveyg]

It depends on your budget and what you plan to use it for mate. Do you have a monitor you're pairing it with as well?

Personally I'd go with a different case, faster RAM and PSU. Minimum case we recommend is the £59 Lian Li option but I like the £60 Corsair 4000D, both are very good entry level cases

The PSU we generally spec minimum 750W these days to allow room for upgrades. The new Nvidia GPU's being very power hungry so it's safe to assume this will be a trend going forward. Better to have too much

The 3000Mhz RAM is just below the minimum 3200Mhz we recommend for pairing with Ryzen. Ryzen CPU's need very fast RAM to function optimally so 3200Mhz is the slowest we would recommend

if you supply the above info and configuration link we can take a look

Thanks i’ll have a look into this!
I’m going to be using it with an acer monitor don’t know the exact model i just know it’s 1080p 144hz i’m not really looking to go any higher at the moment.
The pc costs £1,200 and my budget is around £1.2-£1.3k i should also mention i’m updating from an 8-9+ year out of date pc some rando old amd cpu and a gtx 750 lol!

 

[Steveyg]

Well this is what I would go with mate for 1080p and right on the £1300 budget

If you're no longer going to be using the existing PC you could transfer the license for W10 and save some cash

Yeah that’s the plan! it knocks a good £50-£100

i took up your advice and upgraded to 3600mhz with rgb of course and i’m not to worried aboit the psu as i’m not looking to upgrade for a decent time, current usage is at just over 300w

You'll want the bigger PSU now, rge first thing you'll need to upgrade is the GPU weather you want to or not, it's unavoidable. Your budget and expectations as well as technology will have changed by that time as well. You're factoring in for the lifetime of the build which is 7 -10 years, not currently requirements

1080p is also barely supported now so when you upgrade it will likely be to 1440p capabilities which will require more power.

You also never spec minimum requirements it's best practice to run a psu at about 60% load max
