So you have received the PC? Its a bit late to be asking for advice now?

If you haven't received the PC you can get the link to reconfigure from your order page there's a post to forum button, the link is helpful as it means all the components are pre-selected making our lives a little easier when suggesting anything.

Thanks for taking a look, i want an Intel build however it looks as though CPU wise for an i9 it only really gives me the choice which I've already selected. In any case I've emailed PS Support.

Appreciate your response.

You know intel are now the poor choice, they’re 5 year old CPU’s, very insecure, slow and expensive. Everyone’s on AMD now which are far superior.

Just wanted to thank you guys for the heads up regarding the end of life platform and AMD being the better choice.

Contacted PCS today who have changed my build to an AMD one, better yet they have migrated it all under the same order number so it doesn't effect me 3080 queue wise.
