System looks damn good, .Recommended something similar before but on a cheaper scale

Heard Gigabytes screen is being tested for G-sync as was released/revealed after Nvidia dropped that little bombshell .
Resident Gigabyte / Aorus rep @GIGA-Man might be able to supply some info on it .

Few changes, Aorus RGB ram - it's Samsung B-Die and should hit 3644 hz with timings left exactly the same .
Aorus non Xtreme, no difference in card bar the clock speed - just manually overclock and don't forget to register 4 ye UK warranty .
Switched board from ultra to WiFi pro. Underneath the boards are pretty much the same, 12+1 VRM set up, heatsink and looks are different but performs the same .
Pushed larger 1TB SSD over smaller SSD and HDD. HDD are so cheap can add it to the system any time down the line . Always push largest SSD you can get and add HDD when you need it /can
You won't notice a difference gaming with nvme Vs sata 3 SSD.. if your doing data work then yes !

I think 8 pack 3200hz Samsung B-Die is on sale for £170 odd as well :)​
 
How about a Ryzen option ?

You could always go with an R5 2600/X and then wait on Ryzen 3rd Gen in Summer.

@orbitalwalsh thank you for the reply and the suggestions you made are really on point.One more question though, do you think it will be wise to go with Zotac GeForce RTX 2070 AMP Extreme Core Edition to save a few £ or if you have another suggestion ?Thanks

Fair enough. Ryzen is the value king though :cool:


Closer to your £1500 budget if you don't mind a different case, SSD and gpu model (Still a 4 yr warranty when registered). The Define C and Phanteks Enthoo Pro Glass/Pro M Glass are also nice cases imo.

Rtx 2070 is powerful, if your pushing FPS go rtx 2080.

If you need to save cash, Gaming OC still has 4 year warranty and triple 2.5slot cooler

Or as Lee has mentioned about, save some cash with the case. Still damn good case
 
@Ivchom

A cheaper case such as the Fractal Meshify C would knock about £90 odd off straight away. You could also go with a smaller power supply such as the Antec Earthwatts Gold 650W.

That should knock around £150 off in total, bringing it closer to your budget. You will have to request the changes though as these parts are not listed in the configurator.

few changes

case, Fractal Design to keep silence and looks - done deal so £64 saving

i7 9700k over 9900k - if your pure gaming, you'll notice LITTLE difference . much like Ryzen 2600 over 2700 . 6 cores/threads is the top end for most recent AAA title games . £74 saving

switching SSD Brand, 1tb from 500GB, extra at £20 extra

Motherboard- from Elite to Ultra, extra £60 but saves spending £21 on NOT HAVING to use a WIFI card which has WORSE PERFORMANCE ! - so £40+

1TB HDD instead of 2TB due to larger SSD which would be used for Games and OS. £21 saving

Focus Plus Plat 850w to Whipser 850w - still a high tier PSU but £30 saving
