Depending on my budget in the next few weeks I'm hoping to get either a 4080 or a 4090, but before I make the final jump I want to make sure my PC is good enough for either. I'm primarily aiming to do gaming on this PC, but I also plan on doing some rendering, video game development, video...

Another good shout! I originally was going to go with a Lian-Li Mesh PERFORMANCE case so it's good to see they're putting out a new one.

This is very interesting, thank you. I was planning on doing the final purchases around early Jan anyway so this is something I'm going to keep an eye out for.

I was thinking of adding the 990 PRO instead of the 980, but is there some new advancement coming for NVME drives? Unfortunate, but DDR5 RAM is quite expensive and I'm struggling to find something with CL32 that isn't another £50+.

I have around £2800 and planning to use it generally for gaming some 3D modelling, Photoshop and general video editing software. Aiming to try and lower the price more than anything. Might wait for a 4080 price decrease before final purchase. I'm trying to have some that'll keep with me for...

No integrated iGPU in case of a GPU failure is my only worry too, I'll be choosing the the parts at the end of the month so I'll likely decide for K or KF then. Not too much of a pain either way for me though. The DH-15 was actually my original choice for a CPU cooler, I only ended up moving...

Good point about the K unlocked CPU. Not going to be doing any OC of any kind so I'll go for the cheaper of the options. Thanks for the mobo rec too!

Very good catch! Ordering it today! :)

Thanks for this feedback! Regarding fan cases: will this PC not run a bit too hot? I'm willing to throw a little more down if it means the case maintains a pretty cool temp as it took me a while to do so for my previous PC. Will look at the MoBo as well, thank you! Regarding the CPU though...

Hello, Hoping to get a new PC build since my last 7 year veteran went kaput. Was hoping to get the best of the tail-end of this generation. Going to be primarily using it for gaming and some illustration work, nothing too heavy. I want to stick to the AMD/Intel combo so just any advice on...

Thank you for the advice! Had a few people say that you can disable it in the BIOS now so that's my biggest concern dealt with. I can keep my current USB adapter aside for if that day did come anyway.

Thank you! Just need to get the money together now, haha.

This is something I've been a little jumpy on too, I've been going between the D15 and 12S Redux a few times, I've seen a few people say it's not needed so I think I will go back to the 12S redux just for Clearance reasons. I'd also not like to be sweating when putting that monster of a D15 on...

Will do! The Puritan in me cries but my wallet is definitely happier, haha.

I have a 1TB 860 EVO SSD SATAIII and a 500GB 850 EVO SSD SATAIII, would it be worth bringing those over from my old build? I currently run my games from a HDD, but looking to go full SSD from here onwards.
