I'm not a morning person either (without an alarm I'd probably wake about 10am), but at least I only do it 5 days a week - and when I say 'start work' I mean I turn the laptop on and then go and make coffee & breakfast, watch a bit of news, have a morning constitutional, and then slowly open...

I think I prefer that to a roomy anticolonic.

Yes, if the performance scales with the extra 3D v-cache then it will be an all-round beast - don't know why you'd buy anything else, unless you needed lots more cores in a Threadripper.

It's currently so dull that my home office light is switched on when I start work at 8:00am and stays on until I finish work/play at 8:00pm.

Are you retiring that PC, as if it's been upgraded to W10, then you could have converted it to an online licence and used that licence on your new PC to save £100!

Yes, but that's not the price PCS has been selling the 7800X3D at. If we take the two configurations where the only difference is the CPU, then it's about £154 difference. If we use the RRP for the 9800X3D of £469.99 and remove the £154, it would make PCS's 7800X3D price £315.99...which is more...

The 3500X is bigger than the 4000X, but smaller than the 5000X. But the layout of the 3500X gives it a lot more usable space than the external dimensions suggest. Corsair naming/numbering is not especially clear (1000D is HUGE). For comparison sakes only...

This. The 4000X/4000D is smaller than the original choice and will mean everything is crammed in more - hence worse airflow - and you've got some high-end components that really could do with the bigger, more premium case.

It's just the layout, included fans, construction, airflow that make a case a good or poor one. The 3500X does the space of the 4000X/5000X in a slightly different way. On the 3500X, length for larger GPUs is increased because there are no fans at the front of the case like there is in the...

Unfortunately stock levels, components and ETAs change all the time, and we have all experience the same dilemmas. It comes down to waiting & hoping, or changing something.

Yes, not seen it higher than £349 since January (until it went OOS), and would either mean PCS price is very low, or the PCS price for the 9800X3D is high. The 9700X has dropped from around £340 to £310 since launch. I've seen the 9800X3D for sale at £479, so £60 more than the price the 7800X3D...

Ahem, that's what I said :whistle:

Wow £150 more expensive than the (unavailable, and possibly at discounted price) 7800X3D, and £190 more expensive than the 9700X placeholder we've been using. Configs will need some tweaking to fit into original budgets!

So RTX4090 then ;)

I can't help with the GPU requirement, as I don't know what's important for Daz 3D (is it RAM or VRAM it's eating?). But the XTX will take you even more over budget if it's purely a VRAM requirement, but the next step down to the 7900XT would save £200 and still have 20GB VRAM. All depends on...

Right, this is just 'thinking out loud' and I know it's well over budget, but I've got to start somewhere and then trim the fat as you decide what you can do without. We could trim £176 off that with a case/CPU/motherboard/RAM changes mentioned below...which would Case CORSAIR 5000D AIRFLOW...

In general, and I know almost everything here will increase the cost, I'd say: If you have Windows on your old machine, and it's being retired, then you can transfer your Windows licence over to save £100 You could move up to the 5000 series case for a bit more room/airflow (especially with...

The Titan 240 is 2x120mm, which will be noisier for the same cooling performance than the H150i range (3x120mm). The benefit of the Titan over the normal H100i is that it has the newer RX iCUE LINK fans, so connects to the new iCUE LINK system...but the case fans in the 5000X and 3500X are not...

It's not a compatibility issue, is that a 60Hz monitor/TV will bottleneck any gaming as not matter how fast a PC or GPU you have it simply cannot show more than 60 frames a second (even if the PC is capable of outputting 300fps). So we tend to select the GPU based on the monitor's capabilities...
