Hi Guys,
I’m in a bit of a dilemma? I’ve been waiting for the HP Omen Obelisk which has just hit the market, the 8700 with 2080 graphics card. I wanted to buy it but in America it was on sale for $1500, here its £1900. Furthermore I really don’t like the holes on the top of the case, as my room is a dust magnet!! Ideally I would like a case with amazing thermals and quiet as possible and with as few holes as possible!!
So now I’m looking into rather than buying....., building one or getting a pc built. My budget is £2k max, cheaper the better obviously. I don’t want to go water cooled as I personally think it’s too dangerous. Therefore I will be looking at an air cooled system. I am hoping for an Intel based 8700k + 2080 or 2080Ti, Z390 motherboard, 32gb ram. I want a high end performance pc so I don’t have to upgrade for a loooong time. Btw I don’t game! I love tempered glass and RGB, how much does this affect thermals though?
I have been looking at some cases and have narrowed it down to these: -
1. BeQuiet - DARK BASE 700
2. Enthoo Evolv X Glass
3. Coolermaster MC500mt
4. Lian Li - pc-o11-wgx-rog-edition
5. Fractal design define s2 --- OR --- R6 USB C
Any recommendations – pros and cons on the above cases or other parts I should use?
Is it possible to build what I’m looking for under £2k?
Any advice is much appreciated.
