i would just add if you have a bit more budget pick a better case with a tempered glass panel, all the below are excellent build quality and i can personally vouch for the Antec and the eclipse P400

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Glass Midi Tower Case - Black= £94.99
• 1 x Phanteks Eclipse P300 Glass Midi Tower Case - Black= £54.95
• 1 x Phanteks Eclipse P350X Glass Digital RGB Midi Tower Case - Black/White= £64.99
• 1 x Antec P110 Midi Tower RGB Gaming Case - Black Tempered Glass= £109.99
• 1 x Phanteks Eclipse P400S Glass Midi Tower Case - Noise Dampened Black/Red= £83.99

Total: £436.93 (includes shipping: £28.02)​

@Kurgen MX330 not a pretty case but does have mesh front- if OP goes for Vega... hot card - and for £40 with Glass panel, not a bad shout price wise

Built with p300 & 400 and airflow specially with stock fan and nothing added isn't the best . Pro M is def a nice case with good airflow!

Pro M then

Freesync is open standard to match monitors refresh rate with GPUs, G-sync is the same thing but for Nvidia GPUs with monitors that feature their hardware . Freesync is via firmware/software

Not needed but is nice for fast gameplay or when GPU struggles with constant frame rate or maxing out the screen Hz

So it’s basically to optimise performance on screen for machines with the Nvidia graphics card?

as your used to laptops and you can connect a mouse to them, then why not just get one of these?

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x ASUS ROG GL703GM NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5, 17.3" FHD 120Hz 3ms, i7-8750H Gaming Laptop= £1,499.99

Total: £1,510.49 (includes shipping: £10.50)

I’m really looking for a desktop. Thanks for the shout anyway.

Both have Pro and cons, Freesync cheaper but G-sync slightly better due to paying for the hardware that powers it

Got it. Just had a read through both links. FreeSync it is. Cheers again!

Again don't have to, can mix and match . Just different possibilities. Though prices of 144hz 1080p no sync tech and one with Freesync is £50 ...

Seems for Nvidia 4k 144hz G-sync module cmands a £500 price tag ! ... Damn
