Just before Ryzens came out I was going to rebuild but ended up putting off, now back to looking for a Christmas build and something to handle recent Cod MW game which my current pc struggles with...
I will be using for fairly recent AAA games, some dev work and using VMWare (hence 32gb).
My basket below:
My basket at Overclockers UK:
I have gone with 32gb memory, is 3200 good or should I look at alternative 3600 sweet spot?
I have looked at the Sabrent 1TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD elsewhere for £110 as it seems to be a recommended OS store device (and some games)
I want a quiet case, can one in basket be bettered, I see some reviewers of it struggled with build and overall quality?
Will everything fit in case?
I am not interested in RGB.
/edit Like look of this one https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...dition-mid-tower-pc-case-black-ca-196-cs.html
For now I will re-use my samsung 840 SSD as second drive to M.2 drive, will also re-use my 1TB 7200rpm drive.
I will also drop my 1060 6gb GFX card in and use with my Benq 24" 144mhz screen.
Both of these will be an after Christmas upgrade where I will want to go to 1440p gaming and 27" screen, any suggestions in advance are welcome as I could probably find £500-600 for that combo.
Does above look good compatible mix for purpose or any tweaks recommended?
I want to put my business to Overclockers as used them for over 12 years but some items quite a lot cheaper elsewhere right now.
Thanks in advance
