Just wanting to know if ive managed to do a decent build that will play games at high settings as know nothing about pcs

[Martinr36]

From the OP’s spec I would keep Windows, the PSU, onboard sound, delivery and the power cable - not much else for the use case.

Maybe add the Barracuda

 

[Martinr36]

But some say intel some say amd so I'm not interested in that I wanted to know about the build I put together if it will run games at high fps and play games at high settings mate and further down what I could do to make it a little better without a lot more cash

It will cook in that case

You asked if it was a decent build and the answer is no, not with it being Intel and reasons were explained for that if you read the post that was linked to.
If only you'd listen to the advise you could get a lot better bang for your buck by going AMD

So anything other than amd is not decent I don't think that's correct at all still no one is answering what I've asked 🤔

 

[Dazza 89]

OK just make fun of me its fine whatever gets you through your day

 

[Martinr36]

Read the article

That's all i'm saying here now

See my reply on other post and you need a better case for that intel CPU/3080 or you will struggle with temps down the road

It really isn’t a some say Intel, some say AMD situation. There is a huge weight of opinion and benchmarking that shows that AMD beats Intel hands down in pretty much any situation. Intel is old technology with many security issues. If you really want Intel, you should at least wait for the new release that is coming soon with PCIE 4, although that is still an interim solution. The CPU isn’t the only problem with your build - it has a poor choice of components in several areas.

What the coolermaster hd500 case is no good for the build ?

That case is fine.

Was basing it on the full build you posted with the PCS case.

See comment above I did post it earlier when I realised it didn't post the correct specs

So instead of bashing me what are the poor choices ? I've got 2500 to spend as that's what my build costs thanks

 

[Resistance100]

See comment above I did post it earlier when I realised it didn't post the correct specs

The rest of the changes i would make were in the previous post

Based on your original spec. Change the M.2 to PCS from intel and remove the artic paste as not needed with that cooler. Probably worth changing to the newer i series as well.

 

[Dazza 89]

Not entirely sure what the 256GB SSD is doing in your spec? It's too small to be a storage drive and too slow to be a Windows drive....you want Windows on your fastest drive. If you plan on putting Windows on a separate drive, then I'd suggest a small M.2 SSD for Windows and a large one for your games.

If you post the full spec from the post to forum page and include the Unique Configurable URL (from the configurator, click proceed, click through the following message, scroll down to under the spec on the resulting page and click "post to forum", copy and paste everything from that page)...this way we can go in and make changes rather than listing various bits..much easier all round

I did that but it brought my build before changes I'm just so lost I have people who say its a beast of a pc and people who build pcs saying there's nothing wrong with it come to this forum and get bashed left right and centre I'm just so confused 😕

What to the i10900 sorry confused by I series haha

The h100i Cooler

I tried that won't fit in the case apparently lol

On paper looking at the highlights its a very powerful PC. The issue is its not very balanced, especially for what you need.

A lot of people are going by the first post which there were serval big issues and your title says you no nothing about PCs so guys on here trying to show you why AMD are a better build at the moment is a reasonable thing to do, most the criticism was constructive but when you don't take it on board people are going to struggle to want to give their advice.

You're made some better changes here but you want to look at your storage set up as the other guys have said. You will thank them if you ever need to reinstall windows.

 

[Dazza 89]

In pure hardware terms, it is a very good spec system....however, when you take everything else into account (performance versus AMD, security issues, long-term upgradeability), it is less so. The spec will do what you need it to. I have adjusted your spec slightly, mainly to incorporate a faster and larger Windows drive (the Samsung) and added in a separate M.2 drive (the PCS one) for games to save reinstalling if Windows ever needs reinstalling:
