Thanks for the advice - much appreciated.

Thanks for your comments - I think I will defintiely change the case and add the H115i. I had't really thought about the motherboard - can you please tell me what the advantage of the Crossgair VIII is over what I chose? Also I assume the onboard sound is good enough not to need a sound card...

My PC is in the line awaiting parts from Nvidia however I have noticed that the case I have ordered is no longer available for new orders. I have ordered the Corsair Obsidian Series 500D RGB SE but see that the Corsair iCUE 5000x Case seems to have replaced it. I can't see much difference...

Re-configured spec Have updated spec as follows, my rationale is; 1) I have chosen a smaller case as the larger one will not fit my work space. 2) Larger SSD for O/S and programmes. Smaller to use as scratch disc. 3) Corsair H100i cooling as it fits case, is recommended as meeting spec by AMD...

The problem is the case that goes in is too wide. Is there any other alternative cooler that wil fit in the Corsair iCue 465X RGB Gaming Case?

Oh OK that's fine - thanks. Re the case, it's a little wider than I would like. Would this be OK? Corsair iCue 465X RGB Gaming Case with the Corsair H100i RGB platinum Cooler. The cooler gets good reviews so not sure that thermals would be affected much ? What else would I be missing out on ?

Hi, it's 5120 x 1440

Hi thanks for your help. With regards SSD selection I can guess that you've upgraded the Samsung 500 GB for better performance for minimal cost increase - this drive is for O/S and programmes. The 250gb drive was to be used as a scratch drive and I see you've suggested a 1GB drive of a...

Thanks for your advice, especially about the power of Threadripper. I really wasn't sure about it and had looked at the Ryzen 9 too but when all you have to go on is a set of figures in reviews rather than practical hands on use it's easy to get carried away ! The video editing I do is purely...

Hi, thanks for your response. 1) The screen is a Dell Ultrawide 49" 2) Budget for just the PC is about £4k 3) Here is the additonal link Unique URL to re-configure: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-trx40-pc/fDQcHtwABm/

I have been looking to replace my existing PC for about a year now and have finally come up with this spec. Soon to retire I am looking for something that will last a good few years and will be used for Video Editing and gaming (Flight Simulator). I appreciate that parts are currently hard to...

Case CORSAIR iCUE 465X RGB GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X 24 Core CPU (3.8GHz - 4.5GHz, 142MB CACHE) Motherboard ASUS® PRIME TRX40-PRO (DDR4, 6Gb/s, CrossFireX/SLI) - ARGB Ready! Memory (RAM) 64GB Corsair VENGEANCE RGB PRO DDR4 3200MHz (4 x 16GB) Graphics Card 10GB...

I would welcome any comments on this build for photo and video editing. Comments on the below would be gratefully appreciated..... 1) I don't think the 3970x would add much over the 3960x in view of the increase in cost - do you agree? 2) Is 64GB RAM too much - I always think you need as much...

Thanks, and thanks for all your advice.

OK, so this is what I have ended up with. Two SSD's; one as C drive one as a scratch drive. Should be OK? Case FRACTAL MESHIFY S2 BLACKOUT TEMPERED GLASS Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X 32 Core CPU (3.7GHz - 4.5GHz, 147MB CACHE) Motherboard Gigabyte TRX40 AORUS PRO Wi-Fi 6: ATX...
