Alright, thanks for the link, for some reason I failed to find that page. That sounds a lot better than I was fearing. I'm really looking forward to my new PC! Thanks, once again!

I'll make sure to read a ton of reviews before I make a decision re: the screen. I should have plenty of time to make a decision there; if I order the desktop today, which I might, it'll still be a while before it gets here, but most screens I'm looking at are well in stock and have <2 day...

That's a good point! Perhaps I'll just get a single ultrawide, for now, and keep one of my old screens to have on the side, the one without dead pixels. I can always get another screen later if I feel like it. Reading up on all these monitors, I realize how out of touch I've been with the most...

Thanks for the advice, I'll go take a look at that. 1440p ultrawide does sound nice - I think my desk might just be able to fit two of those.

I'm getting this for gaming and for my hobbyist activities workloads (I'm a programmer who messes around a lot with neural net training and other large multithreading-heavy workloads, I make some videos sometimes and play around in After Effects, and so on). I did think carefully before picking...

Alright, thanks a lot for the advice, I'll go with that one. Here's my intended spec, for the record, now updated with the cooler you suggested :) Cost: 3.372 euro inc. VAT (2.698 euro without VAT) Case FRACTAL DEFINE R6 BLACK QUIET MID-TOWER CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12 Core CPU...

Thanks for the answer! So it shines like a christmas tree, but is otherwise the best and quietest cooler?

Hey guys, so I'm making a rather excessive Ryzen 3900X desktop build (RTX 2080Ti GPU), and I've heard it's a toasty chip that needs a lot of cooling, so I'll need a solid cooler. The computer being *quiet* is a huge priority for me, so for the case I'm going with a FRACTAL DEFINE R6 BLACK QUIET...

Ah, thanks a lot :)

I think I'm close to having a pretty decent setup now (far better now thanks to the advice here!), but I'm still unsure about how PC Specialist decide on where to install the OS - on which drive gets to be C:/, basically. Does anyone have any insight there?

Okay, to add to this, I went back and chose Build a Custom PC -> AMD Based Custom PC -> AMD® RYZEN EXTREME COMPUTERS, instead of going into Workstation. With almost literally the same build, with better RAM and much faster SSD, the price is now lower? So obviously this is what I should be doing...

Thanks a lot for the feedback! The price tag of 3500 is with VAT - without VAT, it's 2800 euro. I don't know if that factored into your take on the price. (Edit: and to clarify, there's no peripherals included.) I see you're using the R6 case yourself! It *is* cheaper, and also has no glass...

I'm assuming the lack of comments means nobody is outright spotting anything egregiously insane, which is great. Can anyone offer enlightenment as to the question about whether or not the harddisk configuration is sane and will result in the OS being installed on the NVMe SSD - perhaps a PC...

Hello everyone! I work in software/game development and am an avid gamer. I'm moderately familiar with general hardware terms and such, but it's been over a decade since I last put together anything custom, so I'm not at all certain in my choices. I've googled a lot and tried to do my research...
