Thank you to those who commented about the last PC build I created in my old thread 'New Gaming PC 13-04-2019', which turned out to be such an epic failure I ended up cancelling. This thread is the new replacement order which I made the day after. When I say I had maxed out my budget, I really do mean I maxed it out. I was slightly over. I had to make minor compromises in certain areas but not ones that were drastic to the PC as a whole (I hope). I could have made tweaks for days and days but there comes a point where you have to stop yourself :sneaky:.

What monitor is this going with? Apols if you said already :)

Due to budget and specing out the computer, I settled for 2x Iiyama 75hz full HD monitors 24.5" connected via display port. Model is G2530HSU-B1. They are pretty decent to be fair, especially when dynamic contrast mode is enabled.

The following component failed the PCS tests in my order and similar builds:

Wireless/Wired Networking
WIRELESS 802.11 Gigabyte GC-WB1733D-I AC 1734Mbps + BT5 PCI-E CARD

This has delayed the order slightly, but I was advised to remove the card. I removed it as the Asus ROG Strix Z370-E Gaming motherboard comes with built-in Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac with support for dual band frequency 2.4/5 GHz and Bluetooth 4.2.

@Oussebon I amended build to include the Z390 instead. Thanks for spotting this! I'd rather wait a day or two longer for a better build. I said previous I had maxed my budget, and the Z390 cost an additional £11. Not too bad I know, but its more money lol 😂

They stopped doing Z370-E ages ago, which is why I was surprised to see it. It has BT 5.0 anyway, the 390.
