Thanks for your replies. That puts my mind at rest!

Hi, I recently purchased the PC below (spec extracted) I run some rendering softwares on the new PC I purchased like (Lumion, Twinmotion) and when GPU is running at full load which tends to happen when using the above programs, the temperature gets up to 80-81 degrees. Is this normal for the...

Thanks again. Changed to an Intel 1TB M.2 which was only about £50 more but as you said way way faster

I think the second M2 drive was adding another 100 quid or so and I won’t be needing too much space straightaway. so i was hoping if i need it i can add a second M2 in future. or is 2nd M2 likely to improve overall peformance if I make use of it? (even though OS is installed on first M2)

Many thanks for all your advice over the last few days. It really helped and I swapped a number of components from my initial spec following your advice and reading more and looking into it. I finally ordered the spec below. Way over what I wanted to spend initially but hoping to future proof...

I've got a similar spec to above which I am just about to purchase but more for use with Unreal Engine and animation / VR for archviz. I was however planning to get 2080 Super instead with possibility of adding 2nd same card in future. Is 2080Ti worth the extra £250 or so and is that a better...

How good is this case for airflow? I know it is one of the recommended ones on this forum but looking at pics it looks fairly closed up with solid top. Are extra fans required to be purchased with this case? I am trying to decide between Define R6 which i really like (but looks closed up) and...

Thanks again for your input. I’d thinking of Rog Stix as it supports SLI in case i need a 2nd graph card. You mention it has Wifi - i checked and its Intel Wifi 6 AX200. Is this slower or faster than the optional one I added?

Following some advice on previous posts, this is my final spec. I will be using the desktop for Unreal Engine architectural animations, photoshop and sketch up. The whole thing is coming in at £2760 inc VAT including monitor and Gold warranty. if there is anything in the spec that looks odd...

I’m looking for some advice on type of case to get. Based on reading previous posts, Fractal S or R6, Corsair 460x/570x seem to be recommended. The Fractal ones appear to be fairly closed up. Do they have good fans? This may be a stupid question, but how robust are the tampered glass panels? I...

Is it worth spending £200 to get the RTX 2080 Super instead of RTX 2070 Super?

Hi The_Scotster / Stegor, Many thanks for your advice. Having read more on it, it seems definitely 3900x is better for what I am looking for and I am glad I posted on this forum. One more query - I am looking for a motherboard that allows addition of 2nd graphics card in the future should I...

Hi, I have prepared the spec below for a desktop which I will be using for Unreal Engine to do some animations / VR, as well as Photoshop Sketch Up and possible 3ds Max. The cost for below is £2760. I don't really have much of an understanding of all the components so any advice would be...

Hi, Its my first post on this forum. I'm considering buying a desktop or laptop for main purpose of running Unreal Engine, Sketch Up, Photoshop and aiming to do some animations / VR models for architectural visualisation. I have copied below the spec that I have created for a Desktop and an...
