New to Custom PC...

[Prima]

I am contemplating on building the below build (please bare in mind I will replace the RAM for HyperX Predator HX432C16PB3AK2/16 Memory 3200 MHz DDR4 CL16 DIMM XMP 32 GB (4x8 GB) RGB). I would want it to last at least 4 years before I think about buying a new one. And being new to the Custom PC thing, I dont even know if I'd have enough fans or USB ports...

Im also wanting to put a Corsair iCUE H150i PRO XT RGB Liquid CPU Cooler instead of the one listed below.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Ideally, the budget would be around 3000 maybe 3200 pounds.

I know this is going to be an overkill in my case, but I wanted it to be at least "good" in a couple years time. I will mainly be using it for gaming/streaming. The most demanding game I will probably ever play are Square Enix games or FPS and those aren't very demanding compared to simulators. Other than that I will be using it for translation work and other day-to-day stuff.

I am currently using 165hz refresh rate with 1440p monitor. but I was thinking of also buying a 4K 144hz refresh rate monitor somewhere down the line.

In regard to the cooler, I had asked PCS if they would be able to provide the H150i instead as it wasnt provided in the drop down menu.

But Ive been told AIOs need maintenance and have high fail rates... so I was thinking of maybe changing to an air cooler, But i wasnt sure if it would be compatible with the i9 10th gen.

Thanks!

I was hoping to order a custom PC as soon as I can find out about the detail regarding:

1. If I buy the PC without RAM, as I want to put HyperX predator in my PC and they do not offer that option.

2. Is it possible to not have the PC Specialist logo on the Consair 500D SE case; when ordering from PCS?

PCS only deal in full builds so so can’t select no memory. You can select only 4gb of entry level ram AMD swap it.

All the cases have a PCS badge on them, it’s not possible to get without. Only way around this is to source your own case and send it to them to build into.

I was also wondering if Marvel Avengers comes free with the i9 10900k and Watch dogs Legion comes with Asus Rog RTX 3080?

No, I was wondering if they were included. it would change my mind... haha

If I was investing a couple of grand in a quality gaming machine, I wouldn't let free games affect my decisions. Those games will be dirt cheap in a Steam sale at some point in the near future but that system is going to be with you a long time...
