[Storm.rl]

Hello all!

He is also keeping his storage devices he has currently and is upgrading to a better windows boot m.2 shown in the spec.

Cpu cooler:

Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid CPU Cooler​

Monitor is included in the budget of around

1440p 165hertz 1ms 27inch primary
Secondary monitor is his current 1080p 60Hertz 5ms 23inch monitor

Budget: £2500 - £2700

Heya! Honestly looks like a solid build, although if you're looking for top performance, Intel 12th gen is currently the way to go.

For monitors, I'd recommend looking externally. Our current go to options are the Dell S2721DGF, Gigabyte M27Q and ASUS VG27AQ which should all be available for about £280-320 depending on the monitor you choose.

Any questions, ask away!

He looked at intel vs amd and was wanting to go amd, but from what I read intel is the best to go for as currently, also the fans weren’t added as he tried selecting them but they didn’t go through and also the whole build is going to be white or requested to be white. We have googled around for white parts so wondering if i called PCS they would do so?

Also with the case and the fans, the cpu cooler would be the H150i which is a 3 fan cpu cooler, and place that on the top of the pc, then 3 at the front and 1 at the back which would be 4 extra fans.

For the white parts, PCS will use whatever stock they have. The motherboard will be white along with the case you're sending in, you could add some white braided cables and you might get lucky to recieve a white GPU (although statistically incredibly unlikely).

The above seems like a pretty good list of white parts- you could make a request for white parts, but to keep cost down, I'd expect they mostly stock black parts. If you want to go all out completly white then your best bet would be a self build really- then you'd get control over all the parts that go into the build.

Also with the case and the fans, the cpu cooler would be the H150i which is a 3 fan cpu cooler, and place that on the top of the pc, then 3 at the front and 1 at the back which would be 4 extra fans.

Yeah sure, that's fine too. I just went for 3 for an even 3 intake 3 exhaust pattern.
