Hi all,
Hopefully this all goes smoothly because I feel like I'm just chucking parts together right now.
I basically put alerts on Amazon for all the 3080 Graphics cards, so when one came in I purchased it instantly on 30th October. This was around 685 after buying Amazon Vouchers. Palit GeForce RTX 3080 GamingPro. Pretty much at this point I decided I was gonna build a PC and sell my current one on.
My next port of call was the new Ryzen CPUs. So by the time the sites slowed down I still never had one. So I got frustrated with the time it was taking to order a 5900x seperately, by which point they went pre-order. So in the end bought a Mobo and CPU combo for £770. So got the 5900x and the Asus Rog Strix X570-E. I think I may have saved around £20 getting the bundle so that's a win, right?
I just went to Currys and bought an unknown PSU... Paid £186 in total for:
ADX - Power W850 Modular ATX PSU - 850 W
LIAN-LI - PC-O11DX Dynamic Mid-Tower ATX PC Case - Black
I've just purchased 2 x 8GB CL16, Crucial Ballistix 3600mhz for £68 on Amazon
This is where I'm hoping others can come in, I currently have a Kraken X62 in my current build which is great. So along those lines but to fill the entire length of the case, so probably need a 360mm one? Does anyone have suggestions for that? Plus actual case fans as I currently have zero!
Thanks!
