Hmmmmmmmm - I’m not particularly one for RGB and with it being under the desk it’ll probably be wasted but it does look good… Thank you for your help with all this - I’ll take some time to mull it over and place the order on Thursday. I’ll update with a photo when she’s home.

OK, Looks good Thanks - I've found some images of builds where the H150i fits to the front slots so I could use that as the intake to keep the CPU cooler with the two fans the case comes with at the back & rear top spot to draw the air the GPU puts out up & out. Remove the MB shroud to ensure...

Thank you for your input Scott - Here's where I am: Case CORSAIR 5000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE - The LL 215 isn't available & the Corsair 5000D has great reviews & fits my space nicely Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Eight Core CPU (4.2GHz-5.0GHz/104MB w/3D V-CACHE/AM5)...

That's my bad - I even made a note to go for the 7800X3D after checking out the LTT review of it but it went straight out of my head but that's swapped out now. That also drops my power consumption by 30W so I'll drop the PSU to 750W as well, as I have 150W+ spare.

Firstly, a thank you for your time and expertise here. I know I speak for everyone you've helped when I say that. I originally said last month that I was planning to get my new rig in September, well Larian studios brought Baldur's Gate 3 forward by 2 weeks & I was able to get a cracking deal...

Will do - Case of premature specification I guess...

I had the majority of the money saved up and would have the rest for September, if not for the insurance claim. Still planning on waiting till September but I can't really justify going full 4K for £3000 now when the money is needed for other things now. Dropping down to QHD seems like a decent...

Had a look around and in the current climate, I'm probably going to go 2K instead of 4K, can't really justify the added £500+ after just having to pay out £250 excess on an insurance claim... So I've rejiggled the spec down to £2000 and I'll be able to pair that with a great QHD 34" ultrawide...

Thanks for the input - I was probably going to go £2800 all in, so hopefully the prices for the rig can drop enough for a reasonable 4K monitor. Either that or I re-spec the whole thing down to 1440p and use the savings to get a great monitor to match that level.

Heh everyone, Been about 5 years since I last did this, my 2017 machine lasted a good while as my gaming platform but it's time to refresh those pixels and you lovely lot did a cracking job checking my last spec (though my forum account sems to have gone missing) that...
