Can't speak about the AMDs but I have the feeling you are gonna be Unlucky for 3080s for the year if you're pre-ordering on the Gen 3 release.

I bet they didn't even use a spirit level to make sure it's straight as well! XD To be fair, it's on a hardwood floor so it's not even that visible.

Update: Another massive plus I hadn't checked until after this post + CPU has been clocked to 4.4Ghz, and the RAM clock speed has been adjusted to the full 3200Mhz instead of sitting at 2666Mhz as default. Fantastic attention to detail. Ran Doom 2016 last night at 1440p on Ultra with the 1070...

So, here's my new machine from PCS! Overall super impressed with it! Really impressive turnaround time once you had the gear and more or less everything is where it should be. Full imgur album: + Super clean build + Top quality delivery and packing + Everything works beautifully + Absolutely...

I've got the ASUS TUF 3080 coming, it's 2x8 pins :)

Hey folks, So I've got my PCIe cable with the the 2x 6+2 on the end, and both are plugged in to my graphics card. Easy money. My 1070 runs fine like that, but as I've got a 3080 coming and I'm tired I need to ask the stupid question. For the purposes of cable management, can you put ONE of...

It's now in the build queue! Excited to see what Zen 3 comes up with but it's good to know that I can drop it into my mobo in several years time!

I swapped out my 3600 to 3200 and then it suddenly jumped into the build queue!

Hey Vale, great setup! The only thing that I can think of that you might want to think about is upping the mobo to an x-570/550 so if you decide to futureproof a little so you can eventually upgrade in the future to a Zen 3 Ryzen and/or PCIE 4.0 cards. That way if you want to upgrade in years to...

Thanks Scott!

Steve, you're right it does support Gen 3. Scott, thanks I'll take a look at changing that - I assume because it's 2x16GB and not 4x8 despite the higher clock speed? A second M2 drive is out of budget unfortunately.

I've always built machines that have been very 'average'. I've had an i5-4670k since they came out. Feedback appreciated, still in pre-production so it can be changed if I've really screwed the pooch! Edit: Should specify that I'll be using this for gaming, streaming, music production (DAWs...

Fantastic! :D These PCS folks might be on to something here.

I've got my 3080 coming separately, going to bob in my 1070 until it arrives. Random question, they will actually send the PSU cables in that would've been used by the card, right!?

I didn't get the Watch Dogs code, talked to someone on the phone and said they were limited so you might have to contact Nvidia with a serial number to get it? Ended up cancelling my 3080 here and pre-ordered the Asus TUF. Gonna pop my 1070 in until it's available.

Stretched to budget as it is, but if it's the best course of action to avoid these issues...

I'll keep an eye on this and see how it progresses. If it turns out to be a whole sale issue (not that I do much overclocking) I might pull the card from the config and wait for this to be resolved. Having said that, if the Zotac models supplied by PCS don't have this issue, I think I'll wait a...

Well aren't I a clever chap. Thanks!

£140? That's a spicy meatball. Either way, this is my configurator in the amendment section - I'll give them a bell and have a chat.

Thanks for the info - I didn't get the option when I built mine in the tool as it was on pre-order. Will PCS contact me to confirm or is that something I can configure when stock is available?
