Hi everyone, glad to say my pc arrived today. Would just like to thank those who helped with the build, this really is an awesome community. Can't wait to test out the system now and enjoy it. Attached some pictures for you all to see :)

Checked my status today and I'm still in testing but marked as "In Testing - Problem". Hopefully it's nothing too serious... is that pretty common?

I'm in almost the exact same situation. I was due to be offshore for 3 weeks but was fortunately pushed back to next week. So hoping delivery is before then!! Seeing damage from others is worrying but service from PCS seems second to none. I'm going to try and inspect the delivery hopefully...

Me 😎😎 went in to building today. I ordered about a month ago (23 bd), so amazing turnaround time really given global chip shortages at the moment. Much faster than I had originally anticipated. Build went in to testing before close of business today so hopefully things will go smoothly and...

Yeah that's definitely a viable option, its a shame PCS don't offer a single fan option other than the Thermaltake. But not too difficult to change out the fans thankfully when needed. Strange decision by Corsair to not include the rear exhaust fan as standard too. Perhaps they think it's not...

Hi everyone. Quick question regarding fan configuration for the 5000x case (I've had this on order for a couple of weeks now). I've opted for 1 extra thermal take fan for exhaust as the 5000x doesn't have a fan for the rear. However do you reckon I should add more fans (e.g corsair rgb) to be...

Honestly, and it may sound pedantic, but I didn't want any hdd mechanical noise so that's what made me go for the ssd. Plenty of opportunity for expansion in the future if required but at this time a total of 3.5TB seemed plentiful.

Hi guys, so this is it..... the final build hopefully. Thanks again to everyone who helped and also to PCS who were really helpful with me this morning transferring me from an Intel build to AMD. So excited for this PC now!! Some notable changes I made were adding an additional case fan to...

This is my latest build, I'll phone PCS tomorrow and hopefully I'll be able to change the configuration easily! Only £16 more expensive too so barely any change! Thanks again everyone, really appreciate your help and I'll keep you updated with the build etc (hopefully a nice pic of the set up...

Will do, thanks guys appreciate the input! I'll also change the case over from the dark base pro 900 to the corsair 5000x, looks like a nice case!!

Hmm doesn't look like I can amend my order from 10900k to 5950x online, I may need to call PCS tomorrow to see if it's possible. I'm only 3 working days in processing so it's still very early days and cost is almost like for like.

Looks like an awesome build SCK, I'm already considering changing my configuration right now lol. I was always under the illusion that the 10900k was the processor of choice but reading the above forum link from bigfoot and general googling it really does look like the smart money is on the...

Thanks Bigfoot, primarily this will be a gaming machine. I typically use HPC's for simulation, the CAD element would be more as a nice to have for any hobby projects or if I want to run analysis locally on my machine so please don't base my build solely on Solidworks. I really wanted this...

Hi everyone, last week I ordered the build copied below. Really excited about ordering it as it's a machine that I've been aiming (and saving) for quite some time. But I wanted to check with you all if I have made any obvious errors during my build or any advice that you can provide. I'm not...
