Hello. Quick update. I went ahead and ordered the PC on the 27th Feb. Had it at my doorstep on the 3rd March at 10am. Very happy with delivery/speed of the build.
Starts up in 6seconds or there about, and has been performing exceptionally well. Little examples:
all settings maxed apart from...
Great suggestions.
I will switch to the B450 definitely.
My old rig actually has the 750W RM but only needs 550W so I could potentially switch them up down the line if needs be but great thought.
Also, I notice you’ve selected a different CPU cooler, was that intentional? I’ve opted for the...
Considering all the suggestions I’ve come up with this as the final build that now I’m fairly happy with.

I’ll give them a call within an hour when I’m free it’s better to be sure.
The Blu-Ray is out.
I’ve done some research and it looks like you are right the provided CPU fan is good enough and I won’t ever do any over clocking so thats even more savings.
So, that opens up £150/200 for a case. I...
Thanks for the reply and good suggestions.
Taking out the Blu-ray, it opens up a lot more options for a case as most of them could not accommodate it, but they look way cooler :)
Also, good spot on the Wi-Fi card I thought I removed it as it will be 100% Ethernet cable. Save couple quid there...
Looked at the AMD Systems. Came up with this including a decent monitor I believe but any suggestions? Stuck with this mobo, I don’t think it needs upgrading the PLUS is pretty good from what I’ve heard correct me if I’m wrong. Changed to 3200mhz sticks and that’s about it. What do we think...
This build came up to £1900.
My old setup was AMD, I was fairly keen to go Intel and Nvidia this time around but I’m open some suggestions for AMD system if we can squeeze in a new monitor in the £2000 budget and still keep the performance on par with what I got there.
Thank you kinds sirs
I’m still on the old, old monitor, it’s a Prolite E2271HDS iiyama.
Can you suggest a decent monitor 24/27” within £300 to upgrade to?
I suppose you are completely right about the sound card. It’s been maybe 7/8yrs since I dabbled with pcs and things have changed for sure. I guess I should...

Hey,
The first RMA was of no big deal, the 2nd RMA was because the motherboard did not support the CPU which in my opinion should have been checked while building the PC. The 3rd was concerning the GPUs.
Basically, my pc is currently in its fourth RMA, with two being within a months time...
