Two graphics cards? I’m confused about that...

When you say make your own, are you looking to buy it from here or source the bits separately and build it yourself?

If you could let us know what monitor you have and the max budget for the PC we might be able to offer some advice 👍

I am currently using the iiyama prolite e2482hs monitor which isn't great but i might get a better one in the future. and i searched up about the 2 graphics cards thing and it sais it will help with performance but if you think its not a good idea then i can always not buy it. also I'm looking to buy it from here. My maximum budget i would say is anywere around £1000-£1200 and yes ik the build goes over the budget so im going to try fix that.
Thank you

Okie dokie 👍

I’ve done you a spec that’s a bit better balanced and is a solid 1080p system. I’ve put a higher quality PSU in there so you’ve got plenty of headroom when you eventually want to go 1440p / 4K. You’ll just need to get the monitor and GPU to match it and you’ll be sorted 😁

The strips? Not at all, it’s a nice little touch to have in there, I’ve got some in mine.

Get the ARGB ones, that way you’re not restricted to a single colour and can change it whenever you like via the motherboard software 👍

Meh....if you want a bit of "bling" (goodness knows the Airflow, while being an excellent case, is also a prime example of the word "drab"), then maybe something like the Lian Li Liancool or the Corsair iCUE 465x cases...gives you some lights whilst being good for airflow too

The man makes a good point 😁👍

Although I prefer ‘understated’ over drab 😆
