New pc first time build

[NathanBurton843]

My first ever pc finally making the switch any tips or guides or improvements?

@NathanBurton843 rather than pasting screengrabs, the configurator will format your spec so that it can be easily posted to the forums. If you make your specification and then click 'next' the configurator will have an option to post to forum. You can copy/paste the spec including a handy configurator link from there.

Makes it much easier for us to comment on.

Also, what is your budget, uses and what monitor will you be using (sorry if its in one of the screengrabs and I missed it...).

I had made some changes after the order it’s on screenshots costs £3,000 overall and mainly gaming and 2 Asus 24” 144hz monitors

@NathanBurton843 As i requested in my previous post, please go and copy/paste the spec including the configuration link.

You'll be much more likely to get some responses on here if you do that. Note none of us work for PCS so its all voluntarily that we comment on specs etc. Its up to you obviously, but if you're wanting some advice, you can make it much easier for folk wanting to help out

Have since changed the Ram to 32GB Corsair Vengance DDR4 3000MHz (2x 16GB)

Both monitors are now Asus VG248QE 24” 3D 144Hz GAMING DISPLAY

BUDGET-£3000
Uses- mainly gaming

 

[NathanBurton843]

Have done that now thanks for the tips

 

[SpyderTracks]

It's not well balanced at all, you've got 2 x 4k screens, but you'll only be gaming on one. The PC isn't capable of driving 4k though. Too much RAM, overspecced CPU and motherboard.

Are you looking for advice?

 

[NathanBurton843]

See below I changed the monitors and yeah any advice is good as I’m the biggest noob there is if I’m honest.
