Yes, now that I heard about AMD's upcoming revision to the Ryzen line up. I'm and not in a hurry, but I want my pc to run as fast as possible!

I was totally off on its origins! Totally off! Thanks for clarifying.

Please put me out of my misery! Belgian? Moroccan? Swiss? French Canadian? Nothing to do with French and I have totally misinterpreted the clue?

Thank you so much @Oussebon 1) I was not aware of Zen 2 at all, up to speed now, so I can definitely defer for a month or so if it is likely to give me a performance boost or a cheaper current Ryzen. 2) thanks for checking on the motherboard, I hadn't checked but had 'presumed' it had USB C, I...

FYI based on various reviews and the pricing here, I think I will go with the the Corsair 680X. The Corsair 680X here is priced at £149 (≈$194), only £20 (≈$26) above the Corsair Obsidian 750D at £129 (≈$168) a 5 year or so design that, as @Oussebon and @SpyderTracks suggest is at greater risk...

Oh yes and have loads of extra drives to load in the machine.

RAM : Work too, dozens and dozens of webpages, and standard office apps plus a virtualized soft for product management and monitoring. I have 16GB now and it gets chewed up. Monitor: 4k large beast, between 34" and 42" like the large LG or similar sized curved Philips. Both only 60Hz but I...

I've never had a high end gaming pc but I think I am ready. Originally I specced a Corsair Obsidian 750d case and an RTX 2070 but it has crept up based on suggestions and discussions and self diagnosis over the web! Any suggestions or improvements? Case CORSAIR CRYSTAL SERIES 680X RGB GAMING...

aha but that is almost 6 years old! I like the lights and seeing the grand or so I might drop on a graphics card. It might be the drink (3 x IPAs) talking but I might be upgrading to the 2080Ti. All to play for. Will decide in a calmer moment. Night night folks and thank you for the input...

Perhaps this one : Corsair Crystal Series 680X RGB https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/Categories/Products/Cases/Crystal-Series-680X-RGB-High-Airflow-Tempered-Glass-ATX-Smart-Case/p/CC-9011169-WW

I had not considered the more cubic versions but I just found out that my friend has one and so it is on the cards. Thank you.

Thanks for all the advice. I will look at the cases in PCS first and then in the market. If you have any candidates in mind please let me know.

All good points. I will see what else PCS have in their catalogue that would replace it but keep the size, airflow etc present but add the USB C which is potentially of benefit.

BTW I took your idea of sticking the pc I have and the one I want to have in my signature. Thanks for the inspiration @SpyderTracks

No I didn't. Should it matter much? I see it repeatedly lauded for its finish and performance. Is there a downside that accompanies its age?
