MOST VALUED CONTRIBUTOR
Go big or go home!

I managed to sell myself up right through the process, the 5900x is only an extra £50, the 3070Ti was only an extra £14 (at the time) it’s only £50 for 3 more fans and so it continues!
That's why when I configured the I went straight for the top virtually straight away, ok I'm getting it without GPU (transferring my existing 2070super), or OS (upgraded W7 on an old PC under the bed to W10), only thing I've got for it since ordering is an LL120 for an exhaust fan, thought about some RGB strips but resisted

I've applied "man math's" or "man logic" similar to @RichLan564. It's more comforting to spec it low so that initial "hit" is bearable. And you tell yourself, "okay, I've done alright here. Close to my original budget".

Then you start to "upgrade" a little here, a little there as those "small payments" don't hurt as much as the initial build payment. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂

@Scott you will be happy to know that I resisted the urge to change my GPU to the ASUS ROG STRIX GEFORCE RTX 3070 as it seems to be in-stock.

....mainly because it told me to change my CPU Cooler and/or Case. :ROFLMAO:

Ahh, good man, keep going, there is always someting you can change ;)

I was glad when mine finally went into build as it stopped me messing with it !
I'm running out of things to change now....only viable option will be the GPU but that will require change to cooling and/or case.

Ditto. Can't wait until it goes into Build so I am forced to stop messing about with my order!
