I have come up with a build and asked OC to test and build it. This is the quote/build:
Corsair iCUE 5000X RGB Tempered Glass Mid-Tower Smart Case - Black
Corsair RMx Series RM1000x 80 PLUS Gold Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Intel Core i7-12700K 3.60GHz (Alder Lake) Socket LGA1700 Processor OEM
Corsair iCUE SP120 RGB Elite 120mm High Performance Addressable RGB Triple Fan Pack
Zotac GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity OC LHR 10GB GDDR6X PCI-Express
WD Black SN850 2TB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive x2
Corsair Hydro Series iCUE H150i ELITE LCD Display Performance Liquid cooler
MSI MPG Z690 Edge WiFi DDR4 - Intel Z690 DDR4 ATX Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C18 3600MHz
Microsoft Windows 11 Home 64-Bit DVD - OEM (KW9-00632)
System Warranty - £3000 to 4000 inc VAT - Standard 3 Year C&R + Labour

Seems good?
It's for gaming at 1440P for the next few years at least
Thanks in advance

I see you've added 2 2tb SN850's or is it 1*1tb and 1*2tb...the price of the 2tb sn850 is back up to £350 on OCuk..that's not worth it Either the crucial P5P is similar performance to the SN850 for £90 less each, or the Firecuda 530 is slightly faster, plus more than double the durability for £40 less each.
Well, if it is 2 2tb sn850 drives in there, they're charging roughly£200 for the build, though you're paying the price they set for all the components...so if build yourself you'll save a lot, esp as you can source some parts cheaper elsewhere, but as a build comes with 3yrs collect and return to fix anything including labour, £200 isn't the worst price to pay for them to build it

That's a powerful pc...should last more than a few years (esp 1440p gaming), just change the gpu at some future date

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £578.64 (includes shipping: £8.70)

If you're spending this much you best have a proper screen to play on not an edge lit led one.

prices change daily, that's prob. The day he posted the gpu was £1,299, the previous day was only £1,199, now £1,259. Also, you have to check OCuk's prices only. You can't just say you can pick up the mobo £40 cheaper elsewhere, or the nvme on offer elsewhere...OCuk are building it, so you have to buy the parts from them. On the day it was about £200. Ties in with another custom build someone did, though they add more if you adding more fans
 
Yes OC site. Under 3000. If he changes mind and dont buy aio h150i lcd corsair which is rubbish, will save another 100 pound. Get normal h150i elite capellix 360, got better cfm.

This was discussed in different thread..had arctic aio, non lcd corsair 150i and lcd version. OP's choice...and haven't priced it up again, again when posted, the 2 sn850's were £349.99 each...original was £3,035..the 3080 was listed as £1099, but by time they came back 3080 had jumped £200, and the sn850 had got more expensive as original was 1 x 1tb sn850 and 1 x 2tb sn850(hense why build was £200, as gpu had increased in price £200 and he's swapped the 1tb nvme for 2nd 2tb version, adding another £100). It was only then saw they'd put price up of the SN850 2tb from £239.99 back to £349.99, hence the option of firecuda 530 or Crucial P5p. It is what it is, was 9 days ago so either he bought, as he didn't want to self build, or he bought elsewhere, or still waiting....pc part prices seem to yo yo a lot I've noticed. I get the felling they're like plane tickets...if one person buys and others look, algorithm shoves the price up. I remember I bought my 5000X case for £120 after it dropped from £154 previous day...next day it was £184. makes no sense to me
 
yes, i remembered. but my point is he will have corsair fans, and than artic, not sure if artic is compatible with icue software. for that reason i would stick with h150i elite capellix. its cheapper. and if he wants aio lcd so he can control/check temperature its better to contact OC team and ask them for aida64 sensor panel. cos he will save £100 and for that money u can get sensor panel.
 
Don't get much for £3K these days will wait till prices are not insane for my new build next year, like the 3yr warranty though.

Have a £3,126.85 Amd full system build in my basket that has 3090 and 64gb ram and other great parts, but has no SSD's or Windows OS which don't need.

Rather get the same as above but with Asus Tuf 3080Ti 12gb card for £2,626.85, so with a SSD and Windows OS built with warranty be less then £3K starting to look tempting lol.
