Thanks Scott, the final decision made, Windows 11 it is. I'm so happy that I consulted the forum as it helped me make some decisions. I noted something on another post from Spydertrack regarding the PSU and his opinion on going with a 1200W or even a 1600W, this made me look into this more...

Ok thanks, I was swaying towards Win11 but was not sure if compatibility was an issue with hardware or indeed any software out there

What do you think then Scott, Windows 10 or 11? and thanks for the advice

Hi Scott, will be using the ASUS PG32UQ at 155hz OC 4K, 5600mhz was the maximum I could go for

So, after careful consideration and a good chat with technical support I decided on a few changes, well a bit more than a few. I understand there are many AMD fans among the experts on the forum but I still decided on the 13th gen Intel. Swapped around the M.2 and SSD configuration, and changed...

Case CORSAIR iCUE 5000X RGB MID TOWER GAMING CASE Change to: CORSAIR iCUE 5000T RGB MID TOWER GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i7 16-Core Processor i7-13700K (3.4GHz) 36MB Cache Change to: Intel® Core™ i9 24-Core Processor i9-13900K (3.0GHz) 36MB Cache Motherboard ASUS® ROG STRIX...

Thanks for the help Scott. I have looked at comparisons between Intel and AMD on various sites and YouTube between the 7900X and the 12900 and the difference in frame rates is near enough the same with one having advantage over the other in single core and vice versa in multi core. I'm guessing...

I'm considering swapping the MB to Maximus Hero Z790 and the RAM to Dominator 5600mhz, dropping the OS M.2 to 500gb and keeping the 2 x Firecuda 530's and dropping 1 QVO. Upgrade the warranty. I know it seems vastly overkill but this is a one time opportunity to get a dream machine so I want the...

Hi, thanks both for your input. I was going to go down the AMD route but decided on intel. The storage drives split are actually a bit cheaper and I like the thought of having my video edits on one drive, games on another, random photo's music etc on another and the OS drive with any additional...

I would really appreciate some thoughts or indeed tweaks while the build is in processing stage of the order so I have time to amend ? This is a serious build and I can't afford mistakes

Hi all, well after months of waiting I have finally ordered my new rig with the 4090 the last piece of the jigsaw. Use for gaming at 4K with an Asus PG32UQ monitor and occasional video editing this will keep me going for a good few years yet. Any thoughts or improvements? Case CORSAIR iCUE...

Thanks for your input Spyder, I will see how it pans out when all the new stuff comes out ready for a new build, I was just thinking prices may drop just like the graphics cards have over the last few months. In relation to your last comment, people like myself come to these forums for...

Taking into account the recent announcement from AMD ref 7000 series CPU's and the other new hardware coming out soon, I am still considering buying the above specification PC but hopefully get it cheaper as the new stuff comes available. My question is, what would you think the best time to...

Thanks both for your input, I will now hold off and see what's on the horizon, my only concern was the power draw given the energy prices and I also considered that if I don't buy now the pending October increase in the cap will put me off further and I would not have an upgrade at all. Even so...
