This isnt an issue - you make your requested changes and pay PCS the new difference :D

Cheers buddy!!!

Soon my friend... soon...

Hey everyone, thought id provide a bit of an update to let you know there is hope!! Iv just gone into In Building this afternoon after 32 working days in pre prod. This is basically in line with the original estimates I was given when ordered back in Jan. Rig: 5800X + 3060ti Cheers!

Completely agree. Go for an AIO cooler. Much less hassle, essentially everything you could need.

Take a look at AgentCooper's reponse above mine, basically everything in a nutshell and saving yourself a few bob :D. Will hit everything you want to do from what youve said there.

Plenty of ways that you could make it cheaper but they will of course reduced the performance of the build. Id say for quick wins adjust your storage - do you really need a 2tb m.2? And remove the WIFI card if you dont NEED wifi connectivity to the rig. Could also drop the warranty down, if you...

Ouch! I feel your pain, but fortunately, i think my changes didnt impact my wait time too much!!!

Agreed. A cheaper mobo and 3200 RAM are the quick wins.

Completely agree here. Iv chucked this together with only marginal changes and you can get a much better spec for your money @ £1187. You really are better off holding off and pulling together another couple hundred £££ to really maximise your performance and also give yourself some future...

First off id recommend jumping to 3200ghz RAM because the price increase is small but you do get much better performance - especially with AMD cpus (they LOVE faster RAM). Before anything else can be said, we'd need to know what games youre likely to play, whether you're looking for 4k etc...

I found that when amending my order certain things did change - a wifi card kept getting added by default. SO there is a chance that it was doing something on its own. Best to double check. I believe that PCS also apply an amendment charge for some changes.

100% agree (Y)

Bit late to this party but you could probably adjust your storage down to lower speed models without actually noticed much real world difference and save yourself a few £££ - change your 2nd M.2 for a SATA SSD maybe?. You also dont really need 32gb RAM for just gaming. 16gb would do fine - go...

Thats correct. Once you go into the finance period (post 12months from purchase) you will be charged interest.
