This Mobo and CPU are a good combination?

It's not very well balanced.

What monitor are you pairing it with? What resolution and refresh rate or make and model?

You wouldn't want to stay on windows 8.1, it's still a free upgrade to 10.

Depends how important the DVD-RW is? Would an external one not be a better option?

It is a good idea, thank you. I write DVDs very often and my Win is on DVD too. I will upgrade it to Win 10. So, you say Seagate is better than Samsung?

All right, I am gonna buy this config, thank you. Just a final question. The Mobo...Some review say it is Ok, but ASUS® CROSSHAIR VIII HERO better for gaming. What do you think?

Won't make any odds IMO. The HERO is only really to be considered when you're into extreme overclocking. Ironically you don't want to OC the AMD chips so the STRIX is the perfect choice, it's what I would buy personally.

Hi Guys! FINALLY! My new Pc is on its way, so tomorrow I can try it. I have got a question. The C partition will contain an unregistered Win 10, because the config has been tested, or the SSD will be empty? I have got an original Win 8.1 64bit Pro. Can I use its key to register, if it has a system already, or I have to format the C and put the Op again and after that download the free Win10 upgrade? Thank you!

I would personally use the key to register windows, create a M$ account if you don't have one, just so that you can link it to your account.

Put the entire system through its paces, test it and make sure you're happy with how it all works and performs. Once you are happy, I would download and install a completely fresh install of Windows. That way there are no configuration shadows or anything like that from all the testing and config that was done by PCS. At this point, installation is a breeze as all you need to do is log in and your system will be recognised.

Hi Guys! I am very happy with my PC, but I would like to upgrade my VGA. 6800 XT seems to be a very good card. What do you think? I have got a new monitor, ASUS VP28UQG, 28 Inch 4K (3840 x 2160) Gaming Monitor, 1 ms, DP, HDMI, FreeSync. I wanna use the FreeSync option, V-Sync sometimes not work, I have got Screen tearing, plus new games e.g. MK11, Vermintide 2. in 4k drop FPS under 30-25...

The 6800XT will offer no benefit to the RTX2080ti.

You can use freesync with your current card fine:

I have got 2080 Super. I have tried this trick, but my monitor is not on the list and do not support it...
The 6800Xt is much better then the TI.

Any freesync monitor works with any nvidia card, it's not a trick, it's built into the cards.

It's more powerful, but your screen would bottleneck either card, so performance will be exactly the same.

It's nonsense that more power = better if your screen can't support it.

6800XT will be on the PCS list? I can see the new Nvidias and that is all, but Radeons official release date is tomorrow.
