Thanks! I still have no idea if the brands matter so that works for me! Great, thanks. I was struggling to figure out which ones were and weren't. I still want to wait for the answers to my questions, at least mostly, so I can feel more confident but I appreciate you updating the list and...

So, I've probably gotten much closer to figuring this out and deciding on something. I did have some questions and wanted some opinions though. I've been looking at what I can and can't do to try make this easier for me to decide on. It is possible I can push closer to 3k than 2k, just might...

Great! Thanks for the help! A much cheaper setup overall! Might not look as fancy but def cheaper and looks strong. That specific GPU isn't available but I can choose an alternative. That still brings it close to 2.5k in the end with some fresh storage but it's a 5080 instead of a 5070ti which...

So looking about and researching a bit more, I'm still pretty unsure on the GPU. The rest of the stuff seems easier to sort. The 7900xtx seems like a great card roughly on par with the 5070Ti. Both seem similar in price with the xtx being more expensive more often. The 5080 does seem better but...

Sorry, I totally missed the TI part when I asked my question earlier. As for the actual performance of 5070Ti vs 5080, I haven't researched that. I came for the smart opinions first before trying to make my own 😅 I believe there was a comparison between the 5070Ti and 9070XT and that it would...

I do plenty of multiplayer games too like CS2 so in those cases where it might be a hinderance I wouldn't want it. I believe DLSS handles that much better though. I've noticed this and it has been a real pain sometimes. Then again, I also don't mind just using 2540 x 1440 for games, again like...

Hi. I mentioned in the intro message I think but it's the Samsung Odyssey G9. By Pre-Build I mean custom build that do the build. I still control all the specific parts and things. Places like PC Specialist, Overlockers and Chillblast all allow for that sort of thing. Just costs me more since...

Much closer to the £2k I was thinking about, appreciate the build! There's some names I don't recognise like TeamGroup but 32GB CL30 sounds solid. 1200W seems like overkill but I say that without knowing for sure. Updating Bios is no issue I reckon. Still a 9800X3D which is nice to see. Will a...

Yeah, I know it won't be forever. Though just around the corner makes it seem super quick! Something for 4-5 years would be good. Similar to what I normally do with PC's. This was a great shout. The card doesn't seem available but that's the only thing missing there. There's an ASUS TUF for...

Hey all. I'm trying to figure out how reasonable it is to get a future proof gaming PC that can really upgrade my gameplay. I play all sorts of games but just in the past day or two I've been craving to do the Oblivion Remaster at the max. Things like Indiana Jones would be great too. I don't do...

Perfect, I'll put those 4 fans in and then I'll check temperatures for other components with HWINFO. If eveything seems okay at Idle, I'll set a fan curve for the CPU temps for all the fans to cover for load. I don't plan to change cooler anytime soon as the CPU seems to be fine, this all began...

I have an M.2 and some normal drives so I guess I'll try HWINFO and see what temps I get. I may have misunderstood. I thought you meant put 3 intakes at the front. I can do 2 at front, 1 on top and 1 at back though like you've mentioned above. I'll set that up. So do you mean at the top of...

Also, how should I go about checking the storage drive temperatures? Can't seem to see that displayed in MSI so wondering if there is a more suitable tool to check temperatures throughout the PC with?

It looks like the front can only fit two fans. At the bottom and middle so I've put two there. The top spot doesn't seem to have screw slots and space for a third fan. As for the exhaust at back, I've put that at the top of the back panel, like you've mentioned. So that;s all 3 fans. Are the...

Thanks for the help! I have a Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-01. I use the stock Ryzen 5 3600x cpu cooler I believe. GPU is a Gigabyte RTX 2080. As for the thermal pads, it was due to them being torn up when I opened the GPU that I realised I needed to replace them. I did that over the weekend for...
