Hi all,
For the last six years I've been very happy with my last build for gaming. It's driving an Alienware ultrawide monitor (AW3821DW) at 3440x1440:
How would this basket work? Any bottlenecks / alternatives / incompatibilities I need to be aware of? Budget around £2k.
My basket at OcUK:
A few questions as well, if that's ok. I should say I have another M.2 1TB drive I'll be fitting as well.

For the last six years I've been very happy with my last build for gaming. It's driving an Alienware ultrawide monitor (AW3821DW) at 3440x1440:
- Intel Core i7-9700K 3.6GHz
- Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master Intel
- Gigabyte Aorus RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz
- And since 2021: an NVIDIA RTX 3080 Founders Edition
How would this basket work? Any bottlenecks / alternatives / incompatibilities I need to be aware of? Budget around £2k.
My basket at OcUK:
- 1 x Phanteks AMP 1000W V2 80PLUS Gold Power Supply - White (SKU: CA-0C6-PT) = £169.99
- 1 x Lian Li O11 Vision - White (SKU: CAS-LIA-00951) = £129.95
- 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Eight Core 5.00GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3DT-AM) = £359.99
- 1 x Asrock B650E Steel Legend WIFI (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-18U-AK) = £299.99
- 1 x Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 32GB (2X16GB) DDR5 PC5-44800C36 5600MHZ Dual Channel Kit - White (CMT32GX5M2B5600C36W) (SKU: MY-4CZ-CS) = £149.98
- 4 x Lian Li UNI SL120 INF Reverse Blade Addressable RGB White 120mm Fan (SKU: FG-01V-LL) = £29.99
- 1 x WD Black SN850X 1TB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive (WDS100T2X0E) (SKU: HD-590-WD) = £104.99
- 1 x Lian Li Galahad II Trinity SL-INF AIO 360mm ARGB CPU Water Cooler - White (SKU: HS-00P-LL) = £169.99
- 1 x Asrock Radeon RX 7900 GRE Steel Legend 16GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-ASR-01794) = £544.99
Total: £2,061.82 (includes delivery: £11.98)
A few questions as well, if that's ok. I should say I have another M.2 1TB drive I'll be fitting as well.
- Am I right in thinking I can drive all the Lian-Li fans from the fan hub included in the Galahad AIO?
- For looks, I'd like the keep the motherboard in the high position. Should I use the AIO as exhaust to the side x3, and put 3 fans in the bottom (reverse) and one at the back (also reverse) as inputs, to keep a bit of pressure internally?
- It's not available at OC, but is there any reason why I can't go with this 'more white' motherboard instead of the steel legend: Gigabyte X670E AORUS PRO X AMD Ryzen DDR5 ATX Motherboard?
