Fair enough....I'd have gone with a better case, primary drive and cooler but it's your choice. Hopefully those don't impact peformance too much

The problem is that the PSU you lowered it to is a very budget option and really isn't suited to a high-end system. I respecced above to upgrade those parts...the CPU just down to the non-x variant which will still be plenty

You want to change the RAM to 2x16GB rather than 4x8GB...RAM works better with 2 rather than 4 (I missed that in the spec I posted). I would also up it to 3200MHz as it is only £5 more...AMD chips work better the higher the frequency of the RAM. Other than that you are all good

You had the perfect system in the spec (with the RAM change) where I mentioned the RAM....you are now going with a primary drive that isn't recommended due to long-term questions over stability and going with an inferior older motherboard...and now changing the GPU. I can't keep up with the constant changing of things for seemingly no purpose other than to accomodate some other random component :unsure:

Yeh its just over my budget and i dont wanna risk transferring windows and it failing.

This paragraph explains why.

On the other hand, if you have a computer that came pre-installed with Windows 10 (such as Surface Laptop 2, Dell XPS 13, or Lenovo X1 Carbon), then you're using an OEM license. If this is the case, the product key isn't transferable, and you cannot use it to activate another installation. If you upgraded Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 to Windows 10 during the free upgrade period, your device still has a non-transferable OEM license.

This isn't valid, not sure where this is from but looks like it doesn't take into account tying the windows key to your microsoft account.

Any windows 10 license, except for a corporate volume key, can be tied to you microsoft account.
