So the case has just arrived (had to wait a bit), and have just built the machine. It looks *sooooo* good - that case is just the best - the cables are neat and tucked away, and the LED lighting looks fantastic - really bright. In terms of how it performs, I'll have to get back to you because...

I swapped to the 750W power, then today I bought all the bits ....*sooooo* excited!!! The thing is, I have to order the case because it is not easy to get here, so I need to wait about a week until I can put it all together, but I've got all the other bits. I can't thank you enough for your...

OK, so based on all your totally helpful advice I think the build looks like this: CPU: AMD RYZEN 7 1700 3.0GHz 8-Core Processor Motherboard: Asus CROSSHAIR VI HERO ATX AM4 Motherboard Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory blue Storage: Crucial MX300 525GB 2.5" Solid...

Perhaps a dumb question, but what is xmp? Assumably the incompatibility is with the motherboard. This motherboard is not on the compatibility list for the blue corsair, and I'm concerned from what I've read online that it can be complex to tune systems to not have a bottleneck when the ram is...

Madmatt30, So the case sounds perfect - I'm sold on that one. I have a question about the blue ram you suggested - It says on the Corsair web site that this ram is suitable for Intel X99 and 100 Series motherboards, but I think the chipset on my proposed motherboard is not that. Does that mean...

Thanks yet again Madmatt30. Sorry to be confusing on the case....I thought the Phanteks Enthoo Pro Chassis case was a mid-tower case, and to be honest I only thought of the blue/white build after I posted that because I was focussed on the specs rather than the look initially. So, that white...

I am very grateful to both of you (BambiBoom and madmatt30) for your really helpful advice. There are three remaining questions I have: 1. The original Memory that I had listed (the Corsair Vengeance) I have now discovered that it is designed for a different chipset to the motherboard I am...

Thanks for your helpful responses Madmatt30! When you say "Nvidia sli ?? Would not even consider it nowadays. There is no sli bridge on the 1060, sli can only be enable with the use of explicit GPU which is a work in progress & not to be relied on ." I want to clarify what you mean (sorry I'm a...

Anyone got any ideas??? I'd value some good advice here. Thanks, JB

Hi, I am planning on building my first pc aimed at running 3D graphics rendering such as -Blender: Advanced Particle systems. (Full grass fields with 1000000’s of strands using low poly grass meshes), Cloth/Fluid Simulations, High poly meshes, Advanced PBR shaders as well as Procedural...
