Some awesome recommendations so far, so thank you so much all! I've noticed you're all being incredibly generous and giving me good wiggle room on my budget, but I'm definitely not shying away from scooping out the big bucks. I'm also saving buying a monitor for the following paycheck so it's...

Hi all, Five years ago I went all-in on a fantastic PC and it's coming to the end of its lifespan for the level I enjoy gaming at (massive thanks to those who helped me build the last one). I'm looking to spec a no-peripherals, all-in brand new build. Budget is set around £3000 but I can...

Thanks for the suggestion! I was looking into those but I might hold out and see how it goes before I make the additional purchase (dropping so much money already it seems somewhat weird to have to pay more considering I've already been shafted on the good genetics). I'm still sort-of on the...

Howdy everyone! Hope you're having a happy new year thus far. I'm looking at updating my current gaming setup and was curious if anyone had any advice. I'm approximately 5'5" (5'4" if you ask the nurse at my local GP) and was wondering if anyone had any advice on chairs. I'm looking at getting...

So I'm still attempting to get the build together by tomorrow. Go figure the ballistix has pushed back the shipping date. Thoughts on this as an alternative? It comes out slightly cheaper than the Ballistix Sports elsewhere so I was unsure if it would be equal in performance. "Corsair 163301...

And now to never look at it again so long as I shall live, lol. Now to move onto monitor research!

Hah, I know bud. Apparently I'm just testing my own sanity levels at this point. But again, build is overkill, but does it work? ;)

Well, cheapest I can find the 3900x is £550 which is rather crazy. Is the expensive build reasonably well selected on parts? No odd parts letting down the side? Otherwise I'll be looking at a 3700x in place of the 3900x, using the original build but looking at the 2080Ti to help assist in some...

I'm not sure how NVENC holds up from the YouTube videos. Based on what sources I'm using and my interest in webcam etc I'm not sure of it's performance. I'll look into it (not gonna lie didn't know what NVENC was until today).

So the 3900x seems the best of the two in terms of best capabilities for streaming. I did specc a £2800 build if anyone wants to critique it below. The 3900x however, has literally just sold out on the last two sites I had it bookmarked on so if that was a recommendation then :( This has...

I'm just finishing the first one as we speak. Mind = Blown. I've been a console streamer 'til now (running a Capture Card through my old rig) but things have been going very well, so this is us branching out to the PC community. Regarding encoding and stuff I'm still a bit of a novice. I feel...

I'm a live-streamer, record and editing is more for my other career I do, however I am interested in recording and editing game footage as well. Apologies if I should have made this clearer, I did mention it in the original post but only just realised that it kind-of fell to the way-side. Also...

Just as a for the record, the exorbitant (almost) £2800 build. Yay or nay? Any alterations anyone can think of? Thanks again for the help guys. Either going for the 2070 Super or 2080 after I've researched ultra wide. And may just make a midlife crisis decision and get the Ti build at the last...

You guys provide sagely levels of advice. I was so preoccupied with whether or not I could, I didn’t stop to think if I should. ;) I'm still not entirely convinced by a GPU downgrade. While I love that you guys are trying to save me money (I really do) we could keep winding ourselves backwards...

Well everyone, it's buy week. While I'm sure this is an every day occurrence for you this has been a pretty big deal over here. I wanted to offer another big thanks, you've all been awesomely helpful. I'm staring at the final builds. We have the final build as discussed by all of us...

Finally an analogy to help explain it to us simpletons. I've been all of the above :D so it does give food (or drink) for thought. Again, best wishes to you and the little one. @tamzzy Not really sure what PBO is so this goes over my head again. As an aside: I found a cheaper Dark Rock Pro...

Easy to say when you're not a simpleton like I ;P I think I share your opinion on the case though. I guess the problem I have is I cannot discern all that well between the varying builds. Also are you guys having...a tiff?

"Chump change" - You sure know how to make a fella feel special =P £100 could go toward the 2080Ti if I'm feeling reckless...Is 650w gonna be comfortable or just sufficient? Also I opted for that tower as I think @Plec suggested going silent. I'm happy for a little overkill in my life but if...

I totally did not see this. Sorry to get you embroiled in the scandal of the century! Also you guys are hilarious over here. Should start your own sitcom =P Not to derail said sitcom, but here's where I'm at. My basket at Overclockers UK: 1 x Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Gaming OC 8192MB...

No apologies needed, hope everything went okay with the x-ray. Thanks for clarifying on the Turbo, and the CPU stuff. I'll look into those monitors though it's not as pressing (don't need the monitor for actual assembly). Also, we have time for me to have a crisis of finance and buy the Ti ;P...
