New to building PC - can someone cast an eye?

While this is true it can in certain circumstances go way beyond 500w and the Fe isn't a oc model.

agree, the ATX3.1 spec provides for this:

530w 1ms spikes

A power supply unit with 850 watts not only offers sufficient scope in such scenarios, but also enables short-term load peaks to be absorbed, which are covered by the ATX 3.1 standard. This standard requires the ability to cope with short-term power requirements of up to 200% of the nominal load for a duration of up to one millisecond. The selected power supply can therefore also handle peak loads of up to 1700 watts without stability problems or voltage dips.

Which games and at what settings? Even a modest GPU will do 4k 60 fps at medium settings, in older games. But not for modern games with full RT.

New releases, as well as “older” games like Halo MCC, TW3, DOOM Eternal, Cyberpunk etc.

5080 has 420w 20ms spikes, 850w psu is enough to handle it
1kw is better no doubt, but space constraints in the A3 might be an issue

I’m happy to spend a bit more with the 1kw being a better choice; any recommendations on a larger/more appropriate case?

The 1200w phanteks gh is in stock and measures the same as the 850w and a 1000w so case doesn't need changing.

Just want to clarify getting a higher watt PSU is giving you options and tammzy points are valid .

just for clarity this is the updated build list:
My basket at OcUK:

Total: £1,983.82 (includes delivery: £0.00)​

swapped to cheaper RAM - same timings so no performance loss, just cheaper
motherboard is OOS at OUCK but available elsewhere (and i can see that they're cheaper than ocuk too) - when you buy this elsewhere just make sure you're buying the "R2.0" version, the second revision (ie R2.0) has pcie 5.0 to the pcie slot. the original version doesn't.

Was just about to order everything and now the graphics card is out of stock can’t seem to find it anywhere as well priced either. devastating

Will perform just as well, you will only get a 3 year warranty compared to 5 with the Zotac however.

That's going to be a really tight fit in the A3. 331mm.
I specced the zotac because it's a 304mm long card.
I believe the max GPU length is 334mm to accommodate the PSU mounted in the F2.5/F3 position.

You have 3 options:
1) preorder and wait
2) wing it with a bigger palit GPU and same case
3) change out the case to fit the palit

True, could have swore I saw one earlier with a similar sized card (Gainward Pheonix) in it howevever.

The Zotac Solid white is in stock but it's another £50, still larger than the Solid Core too at 329.7mm.

OP could also set up an alert on the 5080FE and try his luck, I think that's 305 in length.

I’ve decided to wing it fingers crossed.
With regard to the motherboard - I’ve had a look around and found it cheaper, like you said, but not sure how reliable the website is; anyone had any dealings with xcase? Trustpilot isn’t seeming the best
Anywhere else you’d recommend shopping?
Motherboard xcase
 
tamzzy said:
Never used them before. I was thinking of another trailer (cannot link - forum rules).
The trust pilot reviews of case doesn't seem very favourable. Hopefully you paid using PayPal
Click to expand...
Yeah used PayPal.
Quick Q - I decided to cancel the palit gpu due to the size.
I’m waiting on Monday to call and see if they can tell me when the Zotac is in stock.

But wanted to ask - how would this GPU do? happy to spend a little more just to get it built!

Thanks again
