Just entered building, changed the boot drive down to 500gb and the game drive up to 2tb.
also changed the cooler back to h115i from 150 but I did notice some of the 115i was out of stock but the one I selected had same name just in different category was in stock, Will that he that case or are the selections not updated all the time ?

I read on a thread on here that even though the 150 is bigger it was not as good. I originally tried to order with the 115i but it was not in stock at the time.

H150i RGB Pro is the older model, nothing wrong with the H150i Elite Capellix which is what i think @Martinr36 is suggesting which will fit in a 5000x case no problem as i have one in a 5000d, arrow at bottom

But if you still want the H115i its still in stock as below, arrow at top

In terms of cooling it's only marginally better than the 115i (because it's longer but narrower). But both are exceptionally good coolers: both would be ample for what you're doing. Definitely the greater of two goods, rather than the lesser of two evils.

Yeah the H150i was actually designed for the 5000X case, I'd say it's probably the maximum size you could go with a radiator right now due to diminishing returns but yeah it's the the best CPU cooler PCS currently offer

Nope, sorry. I've re-read this several times and I just don't see what 'food' has to do with it? Or were you just hungry when you wrote this and it's a subliminal message?? :ROFLMAO:

I had a email last night saying my pc would be delivered today, a parcel came this morning from pc specialist but my partner says it is very light( I am not in until later) , then I get another email from pc specialist about another package coming today.

Is it normal to get 2 packages ?

It would be weird for sure but looking at your order maybe they sent the cable tidys seperate?

I received 2 boxes, one with the tower and second ( smaller) one with cables, wifi antenna, straps and all that spare stuff that should come with the case. In my case they were both delivered together but perhaps your ordered was somehow split during transit.
