Right, thank you, this has all been extremely helpful!

Okay cool. If I upgraded to the 2070 Super could I still use the R5 3600 as it's AMD? Or do I have to use an AMD GPU with an AMD CPU?

Ah okay that's promising, I might do that. Would you recommend any of the monitors on here or try others from other places if there's a better range? Is there any sort of issue where the graphics card can bottleneck or outperform the CPU? Like if I wanted to upgrade to the 2070 Super, would I...

Thanks very much! I really appreciate all the help! Would you say there would be a massive jump in specs if I said the budget was £1500 excluding the monitor? Or would what you've put previously been enough for what I'm looking to do, basically high-end gaming?

Okay good to know. What is it about the AMD CPUs compared to day an i7 or i9 makes you recommend the Zen 2? I don’t necessarily have any issue using AMD CPUs and GPUs but because Intel and nVidia are all I’ve ever had I do have that slight reservation from years ago when AMD was seen as worse...

Hey, I'm revisiting the basket to see about getting my PC ordered soon. Unless there's been any major breakthrough in the mini PC scene, would you still recommend a full size case? Ideally I'd like to have the smallest case possible but obviously don't want to compromise any of the components...

Great, well thanks for your help! I can definitely wait a while until making any further decisions. I think it’s decided I should just go for a normal size case If I want my computer to not set on fire! I may very well be back in a couple of months for some more help. Thanks again!

It does seem like you sacrifice a lot in having the smaller case, so I should probably just deal with having a more normal size one. I’ve only ever had Intel processors, without sound completely stupid (and I apologise for what ate probably simple questions!) but is there any obvious advantage...

Thanks for your help on this. I did think the thermals would be an issue but wasn’t expecting it to be that bad! Is something like the NZXT H200 better? It’s bigger than the “mini” case I was looking at but still much smaller than my current tower which is H 492mm, W 210mm, D 523mm! My monitor...

I'm looking at getting a new gaming PC and the idea of a mini case is really attractive to me. I'm not hugely bothered about RGB and it looking majorly pretty, and the advantage of having a small PC sat on my desk instead of a massive tower on the floor is a big deal for me. I've had a quick...
