I have to admit I haven't re-gooped a GPU before, so I'm a little nervous! But excited to try :D Or re-done a CPU come to that...

Post removed - I will find another way of suggesting some parts - sorry, not used to this forum yet!

I've had good luck with online marketplaces, hardware swap forum/subreddits, and facebook marketplace. For example, I'm running a ryzen 1700 and RX 580, which I unfortunately bought in the height of the bitcoin mining phase, so those two components cost be about £700 all in all. I built a...

If you're looking at 1080p I can still recommend a 580, especially within your budget. Do you have any objections to second hand stuff? As that could help you get this all within budget with better specs than otherwise.

It sounds like you're on the way to a good list there Ryzen 5 3600 would be a good choice for your usecase I believe, although waiting for the B550 boards as merlin6r has suggested would be a good way to go due to the increased future compatability and other futureproofing features. As for...

Thinking about it, by the time I'm looking at a £40 Pure Rock 2, the Scythe Fuma 2 is within shouting distance (£48), which seems to give better and quieter performance overall...

Thanks @merlin6r ! Yeah, perhaps it is the paste getting a little old. I have a feeling I'm going to need to repaste an old powercolour r9 390 in another rig too, so maybe I will do that while changing this cpu cooler - how long do you expect stock paste to last? I will have a look. That arctic...

Hi everyone! I'm trying to solve a bit of a problem. quite a bit of the time my R7 1700 (with stock wraith stealth cooler) is idling at 10% usage (if I'm browsing the internet etc) but the cooler fan is often at 1600-2000rpm to keep the CPU at 45-55 degrees. I don't know if I'm just getting...

Thats true - Just me being impatient really, hoping that things will be sent when paid for, but it does have its advantages as you have pointed out

Ah, thats a shame. Thanks for the info!

Just curious on how pre-orders work - would I be chaged when placing the pre-order, or when the monitor ships?

I'm also keen to know when more stock will be in and available to order
