Yeah, I wasnt too worried by the extra cost in the whole scheme of things and it's a little better too. Thanks, yes, looking forward to it !

I was surprised too. Yes, USB 3.1.Gen 2 may be worth having, if not now then over next few years as VR kit develops. Thanks for the VRMark link too. Such close results. I have decided to go for the AMD build with the 3700X. The 3800X doesnt offer much more performance but runs much hotter...

Thanks for that additional thought. No, was once upon a time but not anymore. I scratched that itch thoroughly flying microlights in real world, although sadly on hold for budget/family/career reasons at the moment ! Ok, re the 760/sx6000 too.

ooops, sorry my mistake with the cooler difference, mouse trouble. Updated below, now same coolers, removed erroneous memory card reader from intel build, CPU to 3700 now in AMD build, 650W Txm for future proofing for GPU upgrades in both builds, case changed to suit height available in both...

Hi all. Having learnt the AMD + HTC Wireless issues have been resolved, I decided to look seriously at AMD Ryzen CPU builds. It seems the latest AMD Ryzen are very very close behind the Intel offerings for single core usage/gaming, yet would offer me much better performance perhaps for video...

Aha thankyou spidertracks, that article gives me much more faith the issue is resolved safely. Now, perhaps that means I can save some money or get an even better PC by choosing a Ryzen build instead of the intel I specced up. Back to the configurator.

Hi Scotster I play a range of stuff. Recently I have been really into Pavlov and starting to get into Contractors, Onward etc, basically the FPS games. I also from time to time am into games like The Wizards. Recently I started playing No Man's Sky, which was really too much for the machine to...

Thanks Oussebon. Ok, faster RAM, noted I will look at the options. Happy for suggestions. Re the gpu. Interesting. Surprise not much difference. Conundrum. Old pc was going to be passed on to kids/mrs to go in lounge for a non wireless VR set up with a 2nd hand headset still to be bought. So...

Hi all. I currently have a Vive Pro running on an aging i5 - 4690 with a GTX1070TI. It works ok, until I try to use the HTC wireless kit. This canes the CPU and it doesn't cope at all well. So, newer better machine needed. I'm looking for something to last 4 years, with minor upgrades maybe...
