What's 'eventually' for the new monitor? 6 months or so? :)

What's the plan for the storage?

Fractal Meshify C would be a better choice for compact space and has good airflow and cooling options. Where is the PC going exactly?

Eventually meaning when ever they pop back up in stock or when I buy my computer I'll buy one.
Storage plan is the 2tb for games and stuff and the 500g for OS and little programs.

PC is going on my desk and there's isn't really much room on there.

LG Ultragear 27GL83A-B the monitor I am looking at.Only problem is that there is short stock in the uk so it is very hard to find them about.On Amazon it says 1-3 months dispatch.Rather get the monitor sooner then later

PC looks fine - expensive, but fine

The merits of buying an i9 versus an AMD R7 and X570 motherboard are somewhat open to debate, but if the specific games you play really do benefit from that extra frequency and you have the cash, fair enough :)

Don't buy the HDMI cable though - unless it's for another, different monitor. You will want the monitor connected to your GPU with DP, or else gsync compatible won't work

Ok thanks forgot to take the hdmi off,didn't know if one would come with the monitor one did.Also I would use AMD,but I just prefer Intel as I know a bit more about them them.Thanks for the reply.
Think I'm set now 🙂

Out of interest, what do you know about Intel that you don't about AMD?

Not seeking to debate the CPU, i9 is a fair choice if you have this kind of budget, just curious :)

I'm crap at explaining what I mean 😂 as in I just rather use Intel as sounds a bit better to me and easier to pick in my opinion? Sorry if i dont make any sense 🙄

Familiarity with the brand essentially, I guess? :)

There are certainly differences between them, in terms of how you overclock the CPU or the memory, and also differences in how they handle boost frequencies, and how Windows assigns the workloads to specific cores.

But those mostly are relevant to enthusiasts and for most people the CPUs just sit there doing their thing without you needing to give them much thought.

The 9900k is the better performer in gaming though often not by much at 1440p

There are differences like AMD's 3000 series CPUs and X570 motherboards offering PCIe 4.0, and also the security vulnerabilities that keep getting discovered in Intel's architecture.

Yes familiarity was the word I was looking for 😁
Also I doubt I will overclock unless there's a massive difference but I rather just have the pc the way it is without OC.Also I did want to get the NZXT case but it's gone from the options so I got the FRACTAL MESHIFY.Only reason I would want the NZXT case Is limited space on my desk.FRACTAL MESHIFY case Is ok as well.
