Do you have a specific need for an Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU? The Intel would only be recommended for specific use cases in media creation, and is soundly beaten in gaming use cases by the equivalent AMD CPU. Add to that the fact that AMD is on a brand new platform with 2-3 more CPU generations...

You can leave the rest in, but normally we only need the build info from your PCS account...so nothing from the 2nd part of the post (the 'detailed specification' section) as that tends to be from the a sales page listing possible configs and not the actual PCS configuration that you bought.

Just the top specs list from your PCS account is fine. But you'll want to edit it to remove your Windows key, in case someone feels like pilfering it.

Ordered it from Scan, and had PCS as the delivery address. The address & instructions are given when you choose that option on your order.

The new AM5 boards/platform do seem to take 2-3 times longer than the AM4 boards to boot...and ocassionallyyou may see an even longer one as it retrains the memory for best compatibility. Mine ranges from 45s to 200s.

Thought someone had hacked my Hedonism holiday photos for a minute then.

I find a small electric fence keeps all kinds of mythical & non-mythical creatures out of our garden...have not seen a griffon or a lion EVER!

If you have a read of the note/advice in the thread below (e.g. budget, monitor specs/model, usage, etc.), I'm sure someone will offer their assistance. But I don't think I'll put anyone's nose out of joint by stating that they'll probably recommend a few changes (especially to a current gen...

...and are you aiming for (or already have) all 44 variations?
