Hi All
I am looking at building a new PC and wanted some help filling in the blanks and perhaps suggestions for alternatives for the parts I have chosen.
I already have a GTX 1070 and I am not looking to change that just yet - it is more than capable for my 1080 monitors. I also don't need peripherals or software.
My basket at Overclockers UK:
The components I am struggling to pick are a decent cooler (ideally an AIO) and PSU. I want to do some overclocking on the 8700, but not looking at getting every last MHz out of it. Also happy to hear suggestions for changes. I'd like to keep the budget below £1500 but it's not a hard limit.
EDIT
Based on Copesman's feedback, I have adjusted my spec. £330 was a bit spendy!
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Cheers!
