Buy an RTX 2070 instead, £50-70 more, or get a cheaper 1070ti at £420 it's bad FPS:£

Looks good to me but the CPU cooler looks a little rinky dink. Is the monitor 144hz?

 

[Jaime Johnston]

Hi guys,

Yes the monitor is 144hz

What do you mean the CPU cooler is rinky dink? lol!

That 1070Ti is £419.99.

Maybe I underestimate the 212 cooler. Just think a system like this deserves a decent AIO liquid cooler.

Much much better board, better screen to link with Vega 64 for freesync and HDR (32" 1440p 144hz) . Larger SSD, better cooler

Save a little cash, 1TB HDD, 480GB team group SSD - £30 there
