Thank you , so everything looks good and ready to go? Wanting to purchase it soon as the GPU is pre order so earlier the better and just want to triple check 😅
 
It's strongly recommended to move to AMD at the moment.

Based on your budget, monitor and use, I made a new build for you:

So as you can see, I've moved you to the Ryzen 7 5800X CPU, the TUF X570 motherboard which is great with that CPU, 32GB of RAM as your original build but this time 3600MHz since AMD is hungry for that extra RAM speed (even tho 16GB is more than enough for now). Kept the same GPU since you play on 1080p monitor, improved your storage as following: 1 M.2 ultra fast 500GB Samsung SSD for your OS and regular apps, 1TB PCS M.2 SSD for your games etc and 1TB mechanical hard drive for your files such as pictures, music etc... I've changed up your PSU to the RMx 850W which will ensure you have a good upgrade path, low noise and endurance. I've also upgraded your cooler with the H100i Elite Capellix. The cooler you had chosen originally is not even close to keep these new processors cool. I've also improved your wireless card to the better Intel one. I've intentionally removed Windows 10, since if you already own a PC with it you can easily transfer your license. If you don't, feel free to add it back or source it somewhere else at less. As you can see it's all within your budget as well :)

Hey man, about to order this tomorrow. I know I have asked so many times aha but its a lot of money you see. Is everything perfect with this pc and good to order? Cheers
Completely understand, it's a big purchase and I respect that you're making sure you're getting good bang for your buck. It's a great build though, as has the seal of the approval of multiple users, many of whom are much more well versed than me! :ROFLMAO:
 
Yes pal thats a very nice build. I have also ordered the same as you. And I cant wait. The people in here know alot as after I checked what they suggested is all the best you can get for a suggested budget and what you use it for. I would have spent the same for a worse pc if I didn't post on here. I'm glad I did.

Hey guys , just about to order this but I just noticed the CPU cooler is liquid cooling, does that mean I need to set anything up when it arrives? Or is it just a regular cooling fan

The Corsair All In One (AIO) coolers require no setup or maintenance other than periodically dusting the fans. They are sealed units.
