My main worry is the CPU cooler. Kind of wish i had goine with the Nactua? What do you guys think? Should i have them ammend the order to inculde for this?

Also the PSU did some checking around and it seems like 650 is more than enough. Also the website showed 568 W as max usage

Gonna be runnig 2 4k monitors. Playing most AAA games and then anything from csgo to Dayz

Yes 32GB is overkill. I have never had 32gb and always wanted it.

Would've gone with AMD as they are far better than Intel these days but there we go.

PSU: You need a 750w one as a minimum (that is what NVIDIA themselves advise) and I would go with the RMx variant as it's much better.

Case: I wouldn't at all want to run an Intel chip (even with a cooler like that) and a 3080 in such a small case given the heat output of the 3080 isn't fully known.

RAM: Your choice if you want to spend £100= on something that you won't use

Damn i didnt realse the case was so small? I thought they were all the same size.

I will ammed the order to allow for a lager case and 750W. Maybe also the proicessor cooling why i am at it.

I hope its easy to ammend an order. I only placed it today

Im definitely going to get something like the 680x when the time comes to upgrade, I love that one. Late at night (when I’ve had a lager case 😆) I’m occasionally tempted to just order one and transfer my current system into it. Although that’s making a bit of a mockery of PCS’s open case policy.

Yeah went with the larger case. My GF is going to kill me.

Ah, I guess it’ll be a tough sell. After years of gaming on a closed black box I went a bit mad on my recent acquisition and got all the RGB, my desk looks like someone’s having a disco on it.

I got very lucky with my other half, I was a bit concerned about what she’d think of it but she just shouted ‘oooh, shiny!’ and played around with the iCue lighting software for about an hour seeing what patterns she could come up with 😆

She’s also started getting into gaming ever so slightly. She was obsessed with Untitled Goose Game for a fortnight or so, and now I’ve introduced her to Rayman Origins. AND she sat and watched me play Red Dead Redemption 2 for an hour the other night.

I still haven’t told her much the system and ultrawide monitor cost, though. I value my genitals too much 😶
