Looks pretty awesome and bulletproof. The Meshify S2 is a great case and one of my personal favourites, though the two front intake fans are actually not the greatest: you might want to replace them with PWM fans for silence (one of the best around is the Noctua NF-S12A PWM Chromax at £22 each: you'd need two).

More importantly, it's not actually in stock. You might want to order it elsewhere (e.g. Amazon) and send it in for PCS to build in. Alternatively, you could consider other cases, such as the Corsair 5000D Airflow (which also really wants better fans).

The only other change I'd suggest would be the power supply: 850W is definitely enough, but going for 1000W would offer you extra headroom for upgrades and give quieter and more efficient performance in the meantime. For £18 (0.6% of your budget!) I'd do the upgrade, personally.

Looks pretty good, I'd up the PSU to the 1000W RMx though

I strongly reiterate the S2, it's a fantastic case, I built a friends PC in one early last year for data science and it's just superb.

One thing to note though, the S2 comes with the Nexus + Smart Hub which is essentially a PWM converter, so you can fully adjust fan speeds through the normal motherboard software for up to 6 fans

I'll defer to your knowledge as you've built in the case and I've just admired it from afar! But my understanding is that, while the voltage of a DC fan can be adjusted to reduce the speed and noise, it won't be as effective as with a proper PWM fan.

In any case, I wouldn't actually buy replacement fans until I had seen how noisy the build actually is.

Thanks for all your comments, look like I will buy the S2 separate.
2 more question
What about the sound card? I realize in my build I put the standard one , which one in the list will be better? I got a 5.1 system so I guess the xonar right?
the Corsair H150i RGB PRO XT Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler is Out of stock what you suggest as replacement?

 

[AgentCooper]

The motherboard supports 7.1 so I wouldn’t shell out any extra for a sound card.

I’d suggest the H115i Elite Capellix as a great alternative to the H150i Pro XT. Smaller radiator but it’s a newer model with an improved plate, better pump tech and it’s all the cooling you’ll ever need.

 

[Relou]

do you advice extra case fan or in my build he would be not necessary?

You definitely don't need extra case fans. You might conceivably want to upgrade them at some point, but you might find the noise level just fine.

hi,
I wonder is it better to wait till windows 11 is out before my purchase as its out in a month?

hi,
I wonder is it better to wait till windows 11 is out before my purchase as its out in a month?

What benefit would there be to waiting for you?

 

[Relou]

what you mean ?
I was just wondering is its not better to delay my purchase for a month to get W11 rather than a W10 ,

Windows 11 is a standard upgrade, so if you're on windows 10 and the hardware supports it, you'll automatically get updated to 11 if you opt to.

 

[SpyderTracks]

Just to further explain, Windows 7 was the last OS that you needed to pay for the new OS. Since then, so long as you've got a valid license, windows versions have been free upgrades. Long may it continue. The upgrade just comes down through normal windows updates, and you get asked if you want to apply it or not.

 

[Martinr36]

And if you delay a month the price of your build could shoot up, or hit another parts shortage

That's a very good point, especially in the GPU market, prices are already starting to go up again:

Falling prices signaled that the GPU shortage was coming to an end, but recent data suggests that Nvidia and AMD prices are on the rise again.

Also CPU's will be rising soon as TSMC who manufacturer silicon for most of the big chip makers have upped their prices by 20% recently:
