Hi Guys'

I would like a to know if I am missing any tricks with this new PC I am ordering hopefully at 2pm 17th when the 3080 go live here in the UK.

I have used their PC's for the last 10 year and never had any problems at all, and I like they come overclock and never let me down.

But before I go ahead I thought I would ask you gurus for anything I might want to add.

I am changing the RAM to 32GB

Adding a 2nd M.2 for MSFS/P3D

and the PC is, a 10900k all cores overclocked to 4.9

Anything you would add?

Thank you.

You mentioned the performance items.  What else are you considering?  Take a look at my signature.  I received advice at the Microcenter "Build your own" counter in regard to my cooler and PSU that appears to have been excellent advice.  This system is so very quiet that I have only barely heard it on a couple of occasions.  It is literally as quiet as an iPad.  Totally amazing.  I am not yet OC, have not found the need.  The cooler is specifically the H100i Pro model.  I also carefully reviewed MOB options to the the types of i/o I wanted.  Especially USB-C.  Wanted it on the rear panel but also with an additional block to feed USB-C to the front panel, which my case does provide.

Shop around.  Overclockers prices are taking the urine at the moment.  £220 for a Ryzen 3600

I note that they don't tell you the make of the PSU or RAM. So you don't know if it's a quality make. 

When you know the above, I would price the components up, so you know how much they are charging to build it for you.

The EvolvX is a lovely case by the way.

Looks like it's there own brand of AIO too. I recall its an Asetek cooler.  No idea how it performs or build quality. So check that out.

What size cooler did you use?  240 or 360?

Chillblast wanted £500 more, some of these components are not the cheapest to buy on there own from OC but the systems are a great price imo.

The RAM is samsung and done by 8PACK one of the world's leading overclockers.

Which system is it, or are they building to your spec?

They had to build it and they said they would email be the quote but never did.

Just watch what PSU they put in it.  Overclockers tend to use Kolink PSU's and they are pretty  much junk

Good grief thats expensive. 

An 850 watt EVGA Gold is about 160 quid. EVGA make excellent PSU's.

Samsung chips I presume B-die. But what is the make of the RAM? GSkill? Corsair? Etc...

They don't do EVGA, the main reason for that one is runs almost completely silent. But alway open to ideas.

Again am open to other ideas.

Something to think about -- 

 

I am using the 3rd pc I have built. The first was a Core2 Duo back in 2007. My pc is 2 years old now and not quite up to your intended level. I just wish to tell you my preferred options. I use PCMech for technical and quality of provider advice. And I use NewEgg for purchases. Not quite the lowest prices at all times but their customer service is excellent and unequaled. Just a FYI. I'm sure you could build your own machine. I have no knowledge of overclocking- I purchase unlocked cpus but have never felt the need to actually try it.
