Hi there. It's difficult to answer that question without a bit more info from you. So if you can furnish us with some details...

What's your budget?

System uses? Gaming, streaming, editing, audio production etc?

Monitor to be used with system? Resolution and refresh rate or make and model would be handy to know.

Hi, strictly gaming. Civilization, total war etc

Happy playing at 1080p, 60hz. Altho more is welcome. I havnt yet got a monitor.
budget is build is around 2k, can stretch to maybe 2.2 with monitor.

 

[AgentCooper]

Okay, thanks! I've actually just done a couple of builds for someone on another thread that would also suit you down to the ground too. I'll link it below if you wish to have a look through, and then let me know if any further advice is required

Build thoughts

Hi, Looking to order this build as soon as possible, however wanted to get some opinions first before I go ahead. The pc will mainly be used for gaming i.e. warzone etc. but will also be used for basic work. Please let me know if you would recommend changing anything: Case CORSAIR iCUE...

brillant, thanks, I was just looking through this!

 

[AgentCooper]

Excellent! By the way, if you're happy at 1080p, THIS is the monitor to go for!

Specced you out a 1440p build, but then the dreaded green text appeared so I won't bother.
Did a little research; reaffirmed my belief that 16GB is ample for games like Total War and Civ. From a gaming perspective it is really only MSFS and certain heavily modded titles that benefit from going to 32GB of RAM, or frequent streaming.
The 220t is a fantastic entry level case that will look after your components. If you chose the 275 case for its refined design it's worth pointing out that you can turn off the RGB lights on the front fans of the 220t if RGB isn't your style.
The AX200 wireless card is a great pick as it gives access to both the 2.4 and 5 GHz channels, the latter of which is less congested, as well as Bluetooth support. If you're going to have an ethernet connection you can also drop the card completely.

Happy to answer any further questions you might have!

The Corsair 4000D Airflow is a good alternative if you want a case that's a little more subtle

 

[Cozmo1987]

Thanks for your help everyone.

I have changed to 16gig ram @3600mhz
RTX 3060
Coarsair 400D Case
Motherboard is now ASUS® TUF Z490-PLUS GAMING WI-FI
fans and cooling tweeked

Saved about £200 for what will hopefully run my fav games just as well.

 

[Cozmo1987]

im modifying the build after the order is placed and it was an intel build. I dont get the option to change processor now. I could call them I guess

yeah, have an AMD build on a quote, then you can give them the quote number to reference

 

[Cozmo1987]

Thanks again for all your help today people

Great choice! Which Motherboard and CPU cooler did you pair with it? It also might be worth upping the RAM to 3200 which is the sweetspot for AMD currently

It might be worth posting the whole spec again as it's a completly different build, just so we can make any tweaks that may be needed

Looks like a great build to me! I agree with @Nursemorph about going with the H100i CPU cooler, if you're not a fan of the RGB it can always be turned off. I'd also advise on upgrading to the RMx 850W for about £25 when it comes back on the 10th, otherwise you're onto a complete winner. Make sure you post some pics in SHOW OFF YOUR NEW COMPUTER! when it arrives!
