Spec / Case help

[Fourteenth]

Hello,

I'm wanting a full corsair build, but unfortunately none of the cases PCS sell seem to work with the below specs.

I've looked online and people seem to recommend the corsair iCUE 5000X case, which I've noticed PCS do not have listed (I'm assuming due to out of stock?)

If I was to pruchase this case would the below specs be compatible? I.e. in terms of the selected GPU and processor cooling? I'm also unsure if it would allow extra case fans, and if so how many maximum?

Thanks in advance,

There are a few bits I would change to be honest. If you could please answer the following it'll help us spec us something to your needs.

What is your budget?

What are you using it for besides gaming? e.g Streaming, Editing, Rendering etc

What monitor are you pairing this with? Make and Model or Resolution and Refresh Rate is handy to know, so we can pair an appropriate GPU for gaming.

As above. It has to be said though, you haven't specced a gaming machine. That's a rendering/dev style rig. You could spend half of what you have budgeted and have next to no difference on the gaming front

Hi guys,

Thanks for your replies. The PC will be primarily used for gaming but I will be using it for dev work aswell (nothing too intense just react/node dev work)

My budget is around £4500.

Currently I am using the gigabyte aorus F127Q quad hd 27inch IPS monitor, (refresh rate is 165hz via DP) but I'll more than likely upgrade and purchase a better monitor further down the line, so not wanting to base my build around this.

Thanks again
