    You can cancel your order if its not in building yet. I think you'd definatly better off with the new chips and RAM. Usually @SpyderTracks or @Scott have made recommendations by now. May be worth holding out a bit longer for an expert opinion. (They are usually pretty sharp.

    I take it you went on the home office configurator. Should have been on the 'extreme' AMD one. Case FRACTAL FOCUS G BLACK GAMING CASE (Window) Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Six Core CPU (3.6GHz-4.2GHz/36MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard ASUS® PRIME B450-PLUS (DDR4, USB 3.1, 6Gb/s) - RGB Ready...

    What did this come too and whats your maximum budget? I believe that monitor is 1440 144hz. You have selected an old processor and looking at one of the 3xxx would be better. Faster RAM (3200 probably). Primary storage you'd be wanting a nvme ssd from the m.2 section. A better power supply...

    PCSPECIALIST Looking for monitor

    I'd personally aim for 1440 144hz with adaptive/freesync. If in the future you do get a more powerful card (simple upgrade path) save you potentionally having to buy a new monitor.

    PCSPECIALIST Going OTT for future proofing?

    You will also want faster RAM - 3200 at least and the ax200 wifi card is much better. The case isnt great as far as I know and probably want a decent cooler. But something like this...(depending on work etc a lot could be changed) edit - I haven't changed the graphics card so some saving /...

    PCSPECIALIST Would This Need An Upgrade Or Rather Should i ?

    I was just wondering if there was perhaps a performance drop which could be hardware related but could be solved.

    PCSPECIALIST Would This Need An Upgrade Or Rather Should i ?

    Is there something happening that makes you think you need an upgrade? This is pretty much the same machine I have and have no issues running most games on ultra 1440 144hz.

    PCSPECIALIST 3900X vs 3950X

    Its not that people hate on Intel as much as to get a comparative build costs so much more. The "new" chips are still the same as the last load, but need more power, better motherboards and better cooling to run at stock. This makes it expensive and difficult to recommend outside certain use...

    PCSPECIALIST New PC for Sports trading!

    You’d have to ring and ask pcs to be sure but I googled zotac 1660s and it has 3 display port and 1 hdmi. The palit one however only has 1 dvi, 1 DisplayPort and 1 hdmi. (These are the main 2 makes pcs use)

    PCSPECIALIST 1080p gaming PC spec

    Generally, for this chip a cooler is recommended if its using all cores for extended periods, however the stock cooler is good for general use. The coolermaster 240 is a reasonable middleground. Take the AX200 wifi card its better. With regards to the motherboard, the x570 has pcie 4 which...

    What did it come too and whats your budget.? I'm wondering if it could be rebalanced a bit to get you a 1440 144hz machine

    Not necessarily better - but has decent clock speeds and is cheap - which are great for a low cost, light workload machine (apparently quite good for all-core overclocking too)

    PCSPECIALIST New to gaming PC's and want to know if my spec will be good

    Something like this.... others may jump in and have a look too edit... could up the motherboard to the x570 for better support for newer chips / pci-e 4 m.2 drives. Case CORSAIR iCUE 220T RGB AIRFLOW MID TOWER GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Six Core CPU (3.6GHz-4.2GHz/36MB...

    PCSPECIALIST New PC Cooling, Power and Possible Upgrade Advice

    Basically less wires equals better airflow (and tidier cable management) With the intel chips you pretty much want a high end liquid cooler - they run very hot and thermal throttle terribly. @SpyderTracks and @Scott can probably get more into that as my knowledge is fairly limited.

    If you are video editing you may wish to consider an AMD build. AMD Config There are better m.2 drives (faster and a larger capacity) Cooler would depend on if you changed to an AMD chip as the lower end ones can use the stock cooler. Normal power supplys have all cables permenatly fitted...

    Personally I think the ROG 2070s is too expensive and would go for the newer processor and stock 2070s. However, if you give a budget and use case (just gaming, streaming etc) and people can spec something up for you. Do you already own the monitor?

    PCSPECIALIST advise please on new config...... AMD or Intel 10th gen

    https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/configure-review/348/ This review spec has a better processor, comparable RAM and storage but is at a reduced price. Maybe something worth considering whilst waiting for the experts to cast an eye over.
