Planning to use a 4K monitor yet to be decided if I play some games but mainly to drive 4 X 4K monitors in an array for work/trading
As well as the above changes. You won't need the artic paste as the AIO comes with decent stuff already, you want to up the Wifi card if you going to use it.

The next one up (think it is £11 more) is far better quality and will get you faster speeds and Bluetooth.

The other thing to look at is the PSU. 750 won't be enough, it will work with 750 but you want to higher amount to ensure it runs more efficiently and gives you room for any upgrades.

When buying all these top of the range parts you don't want anything holding them back :)

You only have one drive on that. Having to do a clean install of W10 at some point is always a possibility, therefore a two drive system saves hassle. The first for the OS and main software plus a second storage drive.

Thanks, I'd already upped the power supply to an 850W just doesn't come through in the linked spec. Good tip on the Wifi card though

Thanks, I have a spare SATA and will stick that in but I have a background on the Windows software side and as most of my apps are Cloud-based I'm not too worried about a fresh install especially as I keep all files are all in Dropbox anyway.
