Ah got a Corsair K70 at the moment but the lad is getting that. Have to say those Ducky keyboards really are beauties. That said a clickety clackety steelworks apex 7 look the business. Blue for me.

I honestly think half the regulars here have a K70 and they're great boards but as someone who has used a Ducky while my brother was off at uni they really are one another level in terms of quality

I'm planning to buy one later in the year

Right - after much delay (alas due to a family bereavement) I am back to looking at updating my pc again. Decided to opt for a palit or zotac 4090 (they are the 4090s that Pcspecialist tend to use). Updated spec below. Comments welcome. interested in views on the case (reviews look very solid) and ram. Debating on 32 gb vs. 64 gb. A lot of debate online whether to stick with 32 gb or go full hog 64.

key question - have been tracking prices and they do seem to have inched up. Any particular time pcspecialist is cheaper?

cheers John
