I will get the software thanks. And I did think that about the RAM ,good to have something to add at a later date. I will let you know how I get on. Thanks both once again. Your help is invaluable. If not a bit hard on the wallet!

Great, thanks both. Can't wait to give it a run out and the aim is to look after it to keep this going for many a year. I want to be on those 'I have had my PC for 10 years and its fine' threads... lol Not sure if I mentioned that the PC case will be in a relatively enclosed space so your...

ok. I will go for it. H100i and power unit. Iv'e got this PC down for 8-10 years now or my wife will not be happy !!

Ah ok, yes, thermal paste would add further cost. What is the difference between H100i and x? (thanks for the help :) )

actually its £81 as I thoughtthe cooler was H100x , not H100i is the cooler needed if I am not overclockign at all?

£61 for both. Strongly advisable both of them?

HI, sorry coming back to this! I ordered it but made a couple of tweaks since. It is still in pre production so changeable (I think!) and I am having a couple of panics that it is correctly balanced. I managed to increase the budget so it's turning into a bit of a beast but my son wants to get...

Cheers. Sticking with 3800x feels right. Upgrading the motherboard is my last decision now. Feels like a luxury though for the 3800x and perfectly likely I will never is its additional m.2 or pci 4.0 Will be ordering today. Thanks for your help.

cheers. Does this additional VRM requirement apply to all 3700x/3800x/3900x chips?

Bumping hoping for a bit of advice about the 3900 in the context of my build (Scott's recommendation above). Don't really want to add £85 at all but just want to cover all options. Could drop the cooler on a 3900 if it's at a lower power rating??

cool, I might bump my thread if that's ok. Had some great advice from Scott so this is the just the one thing that is stopping me press the button

hmmm, if that person had unlimited budget ;)

What about on a general workstation/productivity PC (with some basic gaming) vs a 3800x?

Hi, What is the deal with the non X 3900 that has started to appear. Under what circumstances would be it appropriate with its lower core speed and power? Especially as it is £85 more than the 3800x by the looks of it. cheers

Hi again Really like this spec. Have done a fair bit of research on a few things, both upgrades and downgrades and I keep coming back to the above, so thanks for that :) So my only remaining doubt is whether I actually need the additional CPU cooler. The supplied 'Wraith' cooler gets some...

yeah, that seems to be the case. cheers

I'm old school :) seems odd not having one! But seriously, ripping CD's that I buy from specific bands that I want to support/Live CD's etc. to support/Live VD's etc. I also have a load of old bootlegs CDrs. (see, I am old :) ) I also do some backing up for my parents. I suppose I could...

cool, cheers. Faster the better then

Hi again The icue case does not support a DVD writer, which I do need, what would be an ok alternative ? (ideally not much more money, if at all) Thanks again!

512GB PCS PCIe M.2 SSD 512GB Up to 2000MB/s Up to 1100MB/s 512GB INTEL® 660p M.2 512GB Up to 1500MB/s Up to 1000MB/s the latter seems to to NVMe but is slower than the first which I don't think does. SImilar prices.i cheers!
