New PC concerns and advice welcome.

Hmmm...looks like another configurator error...you would have to order it with 2 m.2s, and then call to add the 3rd.

Even the TUF B650-Plus gets you through the same m.2 config error, but then warns about losing a USB socket...which is strange as there's no such warning on the lower spec Prime B650.

Yeah thats what i found odd as the TUF gaming x670x was the board i was aiming for.

 

[MarkPoole1]

If i was to remove the 3rd SSD and switch to the TUF Gaming X670E would PCS make sure the USBs were working even tho they is a warn they wouldn't?

It's not something we can answer with certainty, so would have to be something discussed with the PCS team when they're open.

If it's technically possible, then they should put a note on the build to ensure it does happen...but you'd hope the builder would see there's enough USB headers to support all the front sockets.

Just noticed that you have gone down from 1000w to 850w on the PSU, any reason or just looking to save a few £££? If so, and if you're not specifically after an LCD screen on your AIO, then you could go to the iLINK 150i and 3x120mm QX iLink kit for less cable mess...and save a few £££ there to go towards the 1000w PSU...which would give you more headroom for future upgrades.

Thanks for catching the PSU it was supposed to be 1000w i changed it to temporarily remove the over powered warning well i was checking things an just forgot to switch it back.

I am aiming for the LCD screen in the build just for a quick heads up on temps an other things it doesn't take me over budget so I'm fine with that.

As for the front USBs not working then yeah I'll have to contact PCS before placing the order next week thank you for the help.

Ok so spoke to PCS they seem to have fixed the SSD error message but sadly yes there would be USB port issues so with that on mind has anyone experience with the ASUS® ROG CROSSHAIR X670E HERO?

What about the Strix? You don't get a lot for the extra money but it's not that much more thankfully.
