FYI don't buy a gpu from pcspecialist as they're massively overpriced at the moment. Branded gigabyte 3070ti is on at £690 at the moment, Asus TUF frequently £700.....yet the unknown brand 3070ti from pcs is £870.

Just ordered it........... this is going to be like the 3080 build time queue from a year ago. 😭😴

Why do you want/need raid 1 by the way?

Bear in mind that PCS currently overcharge by quite a bit on their GPUs... eg that 3070 you have in there adds on ~£730-750 for a 3070 into a PC build. You can buy a new 3070ti for near enough that price on quite a few reputable websites which would get you even more frames at 4k (whereas PCS...

Total budget including that monitor?

You ordered on Friday and received it 5 days later on a Wednesday? What is this magic?!

PCS are charging you £687 for that asus tuf 3060Ti. Or they do £647 for the cheaper lottery 3060Ti. 3060Tis are freely available to buy for cheaper than that online though. Could save some funds right there. Put that money towards an even better monitor.

Literally about to order a very similar PC to you. Could drop the motherboard down to TUF (as I am). Choose 4Gb of cheap RAM and buy 16Gb cheaper elsewhere that is CL16 and 3600Mhz. Saves you about £20. Buy 3070ti elsewhere, saves you over £100 and you get a branded ASUS or MSI. Depends...

£871 for the TUF 3070Ti on PCS right now. Good point. £800 for TUF 3070Ti elsewhere. Didn't even think to check too carefully and assumed PCS would be good value. So 3rd party 3070Ti will drop price by £71. 16Gb C16 ram, again yes can find it for £68.99. So another £11 saved. £10.50...

Add on £80 for the RAM though so it's price-creep at £2242. Need to decide how much creep I can get away with without my boss wife finding out. Still not convinced about two drives. I get the argument as I read it all the time on here but I don't see me needing it. Not for a long while...

Yeah, yeah. I get it. You want me to have 2xSSds. £40 more for an extra 500Gb of good SSD is tempting does tempt me I have to say.

Yeah but the ASUS TUF 3070ti is cheaper than the unbranded one right now, hence the choice for it... Storage... yeah, toying with that. I have a 1Tb SSD in my laptop now and have never got anywhere near using it in 2 years. I rarely have more than 2-3 games installed on it and I don't save...

However many years later I can finally buy myself a PC. Kids junk re-arranged. Money no longer tight. Space now has appeared for a PC desk. Life is falling into place. PC Case CORSAIR 5000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i7 12-Core Processor i7-12700KF...

Negative cost option? What do you mean? They're not going to let you swap those parts out for free. You'd have to pay cost price for the CPU and motherboard. Pointless.

@Jaylen There is plenty of stock of almost everything you could possibly want that would be better and cheaper to switch to right now and still get it on 31st. Stop being proud and stubborn. You're only burning your own wallet for no reason. There's no shame in changing a build.

Get a 2Tb m2 as the secondary drive, not a naff QVO.

Doesn't matter when they're released, you'll be wanting anAMD build regardless I'd have thought.

Aside from letting windows update install all updates, how else would I configure it properly? How would I know if it wasn't?? Doesn't the auto update work for all drivers these days?

The usual way. Log into my 365 account online and click the 'install' button. However... it's now fixed and I've no idea how. Reinstalled Windows 11 fresh again. Redownloaded 365 apps again and installed them. Once again performance a shocker. But a few minutes later while doing other...

Even if task manager shows cpu at only 20% and no other application (video editing, games) suffering any slowdown? Is it likely to be that limited to just office 365 app horrific performance?
