Could someone smart tell me if my this custom build will work fine?

It's not well suited at all for any use I'm afraid.

What is it you're using it for?

What monitor are you pairing it with? What make and model?

What's your max budget?
My max budget is up to 4000 pounds. I will choose a monitor after I will be sure I have a well built computer. I am going to use it for gaming.

You can factor in a monitor to that budget to get a full system.

What's your reasoning for the drive setup?

For the build above you would need around £1000 as a minimum for a suitable monitor, is that something you're aware of?

Well, thank you. I was not aware if that. Still I am quite willing to pay more in this case. What are your recommendation for a pc build and a monitor then?

You seem to know your stuff. I will go with the build that you recommended. My last question is if there is any chance to get a monitor, that would enabled this pc full potential that is not 49 inches long? This thing is huge.

Any properly suitable monitor is going to be large, superwide is 2 monitors in one screen so it’s obviously 2 screens widthways, if you wanted a decent 4k screen, in general opinion you don’t want to go any lower than 32” but currently there’s only one at that size and it’s ludicrously expensive:


The rest of the 4k options are over 40” and all pretty much 120hz:

LG gp950 would be a shout but it’s pretty much impossible to get one atm. If you’re looking for a 4K 144hz monitor smaller than 32 inches atm is the gigabyte m28u.

It’s an extreme budget monitor though a s 28” so less than ideal for 4k resolution. Personally if spending this much on a system I wouldn’t pair it with a low end screen.

Cheers lads. Just bought it, all done. Was saving for 4 months. It is time to join the PC Master Race. Thank you for the advise. I will buy 50 inches monitor. I can finally play Minecraft and sims 3 in high resolution.

It's a very nice system, will be a strong contender for the life of it with a GPU upgrade in the middle, that will happily last 7 to years unless something really crazy happens in system architecture in that time.

It's got 2 of the fastest Gen 4 M2 drives though, so will make full use of the upcoming DirectStorage technology arriving with Windows 11.

The PSU is well suited to any GPU upgrade in the future, and is semi passive so fans only kick in under extreme load, so less noise in the system.

Really nice case as well with the latest gubbins.

Overspecced RAM cos why not at this budget and all RGB'd up.

You'll be flying with that.

Remember, the monitor is the final part of the chain, it's what dictates what quality you get out of your build. You could have the best build in the world paired with a poor monitor, and you'll essentially reduce the build quality down drastically as you can't see anything better as the monitor isn't capable of it. That build is extreme high end, so you want to pair it with a really decent monitor to get the most out of it. HDR1000 would be a requirement in my opinion to make it really shine.

i would love to upgrade monitor myself, ultrawide hdr1000 gsync, but those things costs like 3k euro :D so i will have to wait out on those :D
