3rd build in 17 years

[Seany84]

Hi all,

Looking to build a new PC shortly as my current one is quite dated.

Main uses:

• Gaming e.g. PUBG
• Software development, docker containers, Visual Studio, SQL etc
• Streaming e.g. Netflix, YouTube

So far I have:

• 1x AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Eight Core 4.4GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail
• 1x Corsair RM Series RM850 850W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply (CP-9020196-UK)
• 1x Intel 660P 2TB M.2-2280 PCI-e 3.0 x 4 NVMe QLC 3D NAND Solid State Drive (SSDPEKNW020T801)
• 1x Raijintek Enyo Tempered Glass Showcase
• 1x Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit
• 1x Asus GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Turbo 11264MB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card
• 1x Asus ROG Strix X570-F Gaming (AMD AM4) DDR4 X570 Chipset ATX Motherboard
• 2x LG 27GL850-B 27" 2560x1440 NANO IPS 144Hz 1ms FreeSync/G-Sync Compatible Widescreen LED Gaming Monitor

I really wanted was for this thing to just look great and thought the case 'Raijintek Enyo' would be great.

Does anyone have any tips for someone like me, who has built many rigs over the years but has never really put much thought in to the aesthetics. Lighting will be a first for me here too.


Thanks in advance.

within the next 2-3 months

ask when you're actually going to build. prices/value changes

What's the budget and do you need peripherals as well?

 

[Seany84]

No peripherals needed, just the case and monitors.

Trying to keep this under £3500

You could save money on only one gaming monitor and second can be a normal 60hz ips

That's a good point, I suppose the monitor is ~£400+ so a different 27" would only save 100-200.

obviously ocuk aren't price competitive for some parts, so look around for the best prices
(build cost would be ~£100 cheaper)

re: monitors, have a look at the pixio PX 7 Prime
