How long have people been finding there PC sits in the building stage for? I’ve been in that since just before 11am this morning, so hoping to move through to testing tomorrow.

Thank you again - I'll have a think this afternoon but may well give them a call this evening! :)

Thanks all for the quick replies! @Scott - I remember you saying you use a similar version to the R7 with a window, and can see that's the case from your signature. Do you find this has an impact on noise levels, as opposed to if it were the non-glass version?

So, I pressed ahead with the order, thanks to everyone for their help & guidance. I couldn't have done it without you. As is probably normal....having a bit of post-order wondering. Nothing major, I've found the glass version of the Fractal Define 7 online at a price that's only £20 more than...

Yeah, that's something that I think had been drawn to my attention - whilst I have been tempted by going for an RGB-friendly case I decided that I'd stick with the Define 7. My tower is hidden under my desk anyway, and I'd prefer quiet over looks. Possibly a silly question - does the config...

Haha yeah I went and looked when you said that and found it at exactly the same time as you - as I'd just started to type a reply to say that and ask about an alternative! Would you class the H100x with the PCS UQ fans as too far a "downgrade"? It's only £25 cheaper, so hardly the biggest...

Thanks again both. I'm at a point now where I'm more or less ready to press order, probably later this evening before I change my mind :LOL: Case FRACTAL DEFINE 7 BLACK QUIET MID-TOWER CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 3800X Eight Core CPU (3.9GHz-4.5GHz/36MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard ASUS® TUF...

Definitely not taken the wrong way at all. I’ll happily admit I was completely non-clued up 5 years ago and was less able to see the value in future proofing! My biggest area of contention now is whether I should fork out for the 3800x, or go with a 3600. I also had a re-read of your pc...

Thanks again for the reply @Scott ! My current system is Intel i5 4670K, 8GB DDR3 (Speccy says 798MHz), Gigabyte Z87-HD3 Motherboard, GTX 660 Graphics Card, along with a Toshiba 2TB HDD, and the 240GB/120GB Kingston SSDs I mentioned earlier. It seems that whatever I choose out of all the...

Thanks everyone for the replies this morning/afternoon. Can't express how grateful I am for all of the input. @Scott I've had a look at both those builds - thanks for the suggestions. Is there any indication of how long the X570 boards will likely remain "upgradeable" for? My reason for asking...

Thanks again for the reply NurseMorph. Another question that’s cropped up from various reading around online - what do people thing of the CM 240L cooler? I’ve read some reviews (on Amazon....probably not the best source but I struggled to find much that wasn’t for the pro version elsewhere)...

Hi everyone. I’ve been doing some more research. Is there a substantial difference between the 3300x and the 3800x for my uses? I do use Lightroom and Photoshop, but is it worth shelling out the extra do people think? would I be better off saving there and going for an x570 motherboard? Or...

Ah okay, I’ll have a look into the motherboard options then. To be honest, I’ve had my current PC for 6 years and have never upgraded it in the slightest, but I can see your point about having the potential to do so. Re the case, does anyone have any feedback on how that fares compared to the...

Hi everyone, Thanks for all the replies. Is there any cooler that goes particularly reccommended? Again, I'm keen for something to be as quiet as it could be, but not at a huge cost or at the expense of performance. From what I've read, I think the case I've selected somewhat helps with that...

Hi everyone, I've been reading through the forums for the past few days and trying to absorb as much advice as I can before putting together the below specification. I wondered if people could offer their opinions? It's to be a 1080p gaming machine used primarily for simulation-type games...
