[subbytna]

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Intel Core i7-10700K Avengers Edition 3.8GHz (Comet Lake) Socket LGA1200 Processor - Retail= £319.99
• 1 x Corsair Carbide 200R Compact ATX Case - Black (CC-9011023-WW)= £74.99
• 1 x Team Group Vulcan Z T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey= £59.99
• 1 x WD 500 GB SDD + 1TB HDD Bundle= £86.94
• 1 x OcUK Value Blu-ray / DVDRW combi SATA - OEM= £62.99
• 1 x Corsair CV Series CV750 80 Plus Bronze ATX Power Supply= £64.99
• 1 x be quiet! Pure Rock 2 Black CPU Cooler - 120mm= £39.95
• 1 x Asus TUF Gaming B560-Plus WIFI (Socket LGA 1200) ATX Motherboard= £145.99

Total: £868.13 (includes shipping: £12.30)
​

This is VERY Specific in terms of CPU asked for, storage etc.

Other than a GPU, can I improve on this?

This case, for the DVD drive
The Storage combo of Sata SSD and Backup mechanical drive
Mobo for the wifi option

Psu is pretty terrible, better off going lower wattage for better unit or spending more.

I'd personally go for the B560M mortar wifi for £124.99, £15 cashback at the mo has better vrms than the TUF and with the money you save can get a much better psu.

Could save more if you're willing to use a WiFi adapter and get the B560M bazooka for just under £100 with also £15 cashback then get the newer 11700k.

Yep, PSU is generic cheapo with fashion brand sticker.

Also that BeQuiet is brand overpriced standard level cooler.
£15 less gives same level coolers.
And for Intel's sauna stove you want higher up cooler.
Alpenfohn Brocken 3 CPU Cooler - 140mm= £42.95
Though that would be tight fit unlike Mugen 5.
Scythe SCMG-5100 Mugen 5 Rev.B CPU Cooler= £43.99

And some very low end SSD is rather inbalanced for that CPU.

 

[Defy Belief]

Only just noticed the storage as I skipped it due to saying it was very specific, though not sure why... Could get a 500gb nvme and 1tb drive for that, pretty awful bundle.

CODEMy basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Crucial P5 500GB M.2 2280 PCI-e 3.0 x4 NVMe Solid State Drive= £44.99
• 1 x WD 1TB Blue HDD 7200rpm 64MB Cache Internal Hard Drive (WD10EZEX)= £33.95

Total: £87.64 (includes shipping: £8.70)​

Might add the fuma 2 as another cooler to consider: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/scythe-scfm-2000-fuma-2-dual-fan-cpu-cooler-2x120-mm-hs-04f-sy.html

PSU-wise I think these there the cheapest 750w psus on ocuk that are seen as relatively good quality (both with 10 year warranties rather than 3):

What is the pc going to be used for ?

 

[subbytna]

Non gaming build.

They were quoted a ridiculous price for a build, so I took the same parts they quoted, to see how much it would cost. It's for a church group.

ok I'll go and tweak it. I'm more used to building with AMD than INTEL so needed more eyes. brb with tweaks....

Will that Mortar WIFI board handle the 10700 cpu ok?

 

[Defy Belief]

What are a church group doing to need a 8c/16t processor lol

They have a £25k new audio setup going in. They want a powerful PC to handle streaming and running of the audio desk and software.

Bare in mind, the mortar is better than the bazooka, and the bazooka is better than that TUF board you originally linked, the VRMs are brilliant.

 

[subbytna]

Ok I've stripped out the guff

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Intel Core i7-10700K Avengers Edition 3.8GHz (Comet Lake) Socket LGA1200 Processor - Retail= £319.99
• 1 x Corsair Carbide 200R Compact ATX Case - Black (CC-9011023-WW)= £74.99
• 1 x Team Group Vulcan Z T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey= £59.99
• 1 x OcUK Value Blu-ray / DVDRW combi SATA - OEM= £62.99

Total: £529.66 (includes shipping: £11.70)
​

I need

CPU Cooler - Air
OS drive and Storage drive setup - happy to go m.2 nvme and SSD/mechanical drive if it's cheaper - 500gig and 1tb respectively
MOBO - Needs wifi, to fit in the carbide case and lets me use the m.2 nvme drive, if it's picked as OS drive
PSU to deal with GPU and the main PC - I'm thinking a 650W gold would be ok given the GPU might be a 6600 GPU for dual outputs

£350 to use roughly but could push it a little

Can't find the b560 mortar wifi on here....found the 460b wifi

 

[subbytna]

Bottom line is £900 max budget for all this (ex gpu)

OcUK don't sell the b560m mortar but most other e-tailers do, just dont forget the cashback with MSI too...

OcUK don't seem to have many great storage deals on atm either. But the p5 and 500gb mech drive is far better value than the original bundle you included. £65 ish for 1TB nvme is quite common now then could just do a smaller 500gb for the mech drive, but tbh, i'd just go with two nvme's if i'm honest, cost difference be about £20 more and you wont have a dead slow humming drive.

But could go on with this, if read/write speeds are important, could do 11th gen intel and then pci4 for the nvme's etc. But cost considerably more.

I'd pick the 11700 over the 10700 for the sake of about £30.

Yeah OcUK don't appear to stock it, not sure why.
