Absolute nightmare - spec help required

[wilbernew]

Evening all,

Long story short had a disaster of day and my PC is bricked (also cant access my old account on here although probably several years since i last posted)

anyways looking to grab some new parts

Currently looking at the bundle offer

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk-gaming-bundle-9850x3d-klevv-32g-6000cl30-fit-v-thermalright-pee-pro-amd-07349.html

I was looking to get the MSI MAG B850 TOMAHAWK motherboard and a new power supply to go along with it.

Im hoping my 3070 isnt dead and wanting to get it all in my Antec P280 case.

My monitor is a 27" Dell S2721DGF, not looking to change it.

Does this sound OK? any suggestions on a decent PSU and possibly a different motherboard as the MAG is out of stock.

Might be tempted with a new case, really liked my old Antec P280. No windows and flashy LEDS please, like an enclosed system.

Many thanks.

Appreciate your time, any suggestions on a different board as it looks like that one is currently out of stock or is it worth waiting a little bit.

the tomahawk is one of the best b850 boards available. it is available elsewhere too
if you desperately only want to give ocuk your money then there are alternatives

ps: there's two different versions, the vanilla tomahawk and the tomahawk max. the max is a higher-end version and also more expensive, you don't need to spend that much (i specced the vanilla b850 tomahawk)

Asus TUF B850-Plus has a similarly well performing VRM to the Tomahawk and the discount for the bundle gives you ~£30 off.

That £30 is just to remove the Asus tax from the bundle
