I asked the shop what the board was, should've asked the rest really but who doesn't like little bit of a surprise

But been advised its a Gigabyte H310M H 2.0.

I'm still expecting the punch technology build above now..

I've ordered a z390 a-pro board.

punch are very reputable office brand

Yeah I took a look at their site, doesn't look too bad, but imagine it's the same with most pre builds if it is one, I.e often skimp on psu / board, but not that bothered as I've got a decent psu and board on the way which didn't cost me much and I'm sure I can sell or re-purpose the other board and psu somehow

Turns out the 'dispatch' is the courier being arranged, dpd just advised it'll be collected Monday and delivered Tuesday.

what i mean by this, is they USE proper parts, punch system i saw for £294 used a gigabyte H410 & off brand seasonic 200W

they skimp in the right areas but use qaulity parts

My money's on an upgraded Dell/Lenovo/HP/Fujitsu office box.

I hate those

Oh fingers crossed then well that's even if it is one by them, complete stab in the dark but does match the specs.

I've ordered a z390 a-pro board.

Can I ask what's the purpose of going to a Z board? Just more USB ports?

It was a good price and better vrms for the 9700f really to hold the full boost as had past H310 systems where they couldn't maintain it. Might end up getting a k chip at some point later down the line but not sure.

Plus 2 ram slots sucks on any board that isn't itx imo.

Pc is on the way and being delivered tomorrow...

yes this thread is such goodness.
I hope it’s not though for you honestly

 

[goldy6660]

Lol everyone here expecting something to turn up as if it's something bought from wish

Arrived...box is quite small/light....can't open just yet

I suggest filming the unboxing just in case it's just...a case!

I'm going with low weight due to 500w ish psu/stock intel cooler/single fan 1660ti.

Had a Google... I reckon its going to be this and they've just incorrectly listed it at a 2tb ssd....its the only thing that matches unless it is an actual custom built pc by someone.

H310 board in this, not great but beats oem! According to the description its got 2 x dimm slots and a sole stick of 16gb, which isn't bad to upgrade to 32gb.

Just says 500 watt psu.

I was bang on with this prediction, its this exact system, zotac 1660ti, and they listed the hdd as an ssd so will have to sort that out, wonder how good their cs is...I can't fault the condition though, looks like it's never been touched since it was made by Punch in terms of cable management..hdd was dangling down though!


Forgive the flooring we had our central heating changed yesterday
