That's a 1080p display, it also uses the older TN display format which is poor image quality by today's standards. Pairing the build above would be like buying a Ferrari and then only driving it at 20 on a bumpy country road; it'll look good but you can spend a lot less for the same performance...

Taken this from a build I specced up earlier today, just removing the 4TB drive as you've mentioned you have some drives to add in, and took the LCD screen off the cooler, as that is more for aesthetic appeal than a neccessity. We would stay away from the PCS AIOs as we have no real data on how...

Only change I would potentially look at would be upping the PSU to 1200W to be able to take a GPU upgrade down the line, you'll be all set to slap in a 7080/90 in 4-5 years time. Otherwise this is a powerhouse build, and if you go ahead and order we would love to see some pics when it arrives!

Nice big budget so we can have some fun here. There are a lot of enjoyers of different variants of the G9 on the forum, that model is available for a nice price at the moment, and can't fault stepping into the OLED world. If £3.5k includes the monitor we might need to a bit of trimming. Case...

I think all of us would be happy with a chonky work bonus! What's your max budget for the build? Are there any programs that you use that specifically benefit from Intel over AMD, as if not most of us would not recommend an Intel build at the moment. You mentioned 4k, what refresh rate or make...

So you can either look at upgrading your GPU and PSU in your current system, or you can look at a new build. It looks like your current build is not a PCSpecialist system, so if you would like advice on upgrades there you would need to use an open forum such as Toms Hardware. To help us advise...

You can just about get everything in for £3k Case CORSAIR FRAME 4000D RS ARGB MODULAR Cheapest good quality case I would recommend with top end components inside Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Eight Core CPU (Up to 5.2GHz/104MB w/3D V-CACHE/AM5) Motherboard GIGABYTE X870 EAGLE WIFI7 (AM5...

That’s a fair reason for a new system. What’s your max budget? With those monitors I would probably advocate waiting for the 5070ti releasing next week, but if we can keep the 5080 in budget without compromising on other areas that’s your choice to make. A few areas of the build could be...

If I were in your shoes, I would have a look at upgrading your current build rather than buying new as it’s only a few years old. As your current PC isn’t a PCS system, you would need to head to an open forum such as Toms Hardware if you wanted to go down that route. If you want to buy new (and...

I would recommend giving PCS a call in the morning, as they will have the best idea of the 5080 stock they currently have or are expecting. But the changes to the configurator do suggest they may have had a delivery of the Zotac 5080s.

Pushing towards the top end of your budget, but this a have it all build. With this budget I would highly endorse stepping foot on the OLED train, either at 4k with this MSI option or 1440p Ultrawide with this classic Alienware option, currently available at a nice discount. Case CORSAIR iCUE...

For ~£3k this would be what I opt for. You've overspent a lot in some areas and underspent a lot in others. Case CORSAIR 6500X TEMPERED GLASS MID TOWER DUAL CHAMBER CASE High end components need a decent case for airflow to prevent heating issues, otherwise your parts will cook. Processor (CPU)...

Been playing this for the last few days and it’s a lot of fun. Currently on PC Game pass which is handy so thought it would be a good chance to give the 5080 a proper runout. Oh my is it a pretty game. The 40GB install of additional textures was worth it because it looks amazing, both during...

As someone who installed that monitor last night, I can also highly recommend it! 😍

Dialled back some areas based on my spending, and upped the PSU. Still some room in your budget if you wanted to add some parts back in. Case LIAN LI O11DYNAMIC EVO RGB GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Eight Core CPU (Up to 5.2GHz/104MB w/3D V-CACHE/AM5) Motherboard GIGABYTE...

Hiya, solid foundation here. Please could you include the config link to make it easier for people to go in and make changes? With your previous build, is there anything that you are able to transfer across, e.g Windows, storage drives?

https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/please-read-before-posting-collaboration-of-helpful-hints.99885/ Hiya, please could you read through the above and provide the information requested, there are a couple of changes most of us would recommend that will be guided by the information...

If quietness is a factor then I would say stick with the Define 7. Having a solid side panel over the tempered glass most builds have will mean you will be quieter than a lot of the other options PCS offer. I was looking at the Fractal North and Corsair 5000X as potential alternatives, but they...

Not sure how that's happened, looks like I did keep the 1200W in the spec above, might be transferred from another build. For this sort of budget, and for the GPU you are looking to get and upgrade from during the lifetime of this build, 1200W+ is definitely the way to go.

What led you to choose the Define 7 in the first place? Was it the quietness aspect, or the aesthetic, or something else? I have the standard size Define 7 in my own build, and I am a fan of it, but there other case options that might be suitable, depending on what you are looking to get out...
