    This is still the secondary M.2, the primary for the OS is still the 980 Pro

    Oh and lastly, the 1TB Corsair MP400 is now greyed out; guessing they're out of stock at the moment? Now I did get a bit of funding help from friends, so I could swap for either the 970 Evo or the Seagate FireCuda, instead?

    Yeah, I figured, just thought to double-check cause tomorrow I get the last of the money set aside and drop the order. So I wanted to make sure I'd crossed my t's and dotted my i's I had seen that case, the black one with the big vented front, right? I almost did but I wasn't sure if I'd need...

    I know this is real late, but is the case I picked a decent choice? I kinda went for it for the two 200mm fans on the front but I really don't know much about cases.

    Hrmm.. It'll be tight, and use up the leftover budget for the monitor, I can; but I can survive on a cheap monitor for a couple months and just get a better one down the line. Should I stick the the Asus TUF motherboard?

    Hey Martin, I only really noticed this after reviewing the spec list again, and saw the change from the Ryzen 7 5800X, to the 5 5600X. Was the CPU I picked out too overkill for the build, or was that just for budgetary constraints?

    Alright, thanks a lot. I think that just about does it. This is looking pretty awesome and I'm excited for this thing. Thank you Martin, I appreciate all the help.

    Ahh, okay, that's why I went 550 rather then the 450 the guide was initially suggesting, but yeah I see what you mean, it'd be used up quick with newer GPUs right? Oh and which of the SSDs should I put the OS on? The 980 Pro?

    Obsolete? Oof.. alright, do not ask me what I'm using right now then or you might cry. Let's just say I'll be going up like.. 3 generations of GPU with this. The power supply seems quite a leap up too, is the jump from 550 to 850W necessary?

    Ahhh I see. You can tell I've been a low-budget gamer for a while, I'm not clued in on the 1080-1440p stuff. I'll be glad to have something that'll run. This is my first step up to something a bit more heavyweight.

    It does look like a heck of a monitor, for sure. I'll definitely keep an eye on it and hold on to the leftover of my budget, get the rest together and plum for the G5. I do gotta ask why the change from the Nvidia to AMD GPU? I know both are pretty scarce giving the whole situation right now...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST First serious desktop, help?

    I can definitely try and squeeze it in, for sure. Really the buffer between the 1800 and the 2k max cap is for the monitor. And to try and keep it reasonable. If I go too much 'little more here, little more there' I've hit almost 2500 before and that'll set me back more then I have saved up. I...

    I ordered a low-mid Laptop to handle gaming from PCS 5 years ago now; feels like a different lifetime. I, admittedly, know how to use computers but not how a lot of them work, orrr really how to handle them without videos and guides. But after extensive use, this thing is barely holding...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Optimus VIII regular vs Optimus VIII Pro

    Okay so I've been looking at these two models for the last 2 hours, but I need some confirmation just so I know this is right. Are the only difference, between these two, the GTX 960 graphics card then being a GTX 965. And the 40 pound increase in price?
