Also new full system build

[redknight333]

I was thinking it's time for a new upgrade, my system i am running at the moment is a intel 2600k, 8gb ram, over the years i've changed the GFX card for a nvidia 1060, new gaming keyboard and other odd bits, had this system running since 2011 or was it 2012 anyway one or the other.

So it's a big jump time to a intel 10700k

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Scythe SCMG-5100 Mugen 5 Rev.B CPU Cooler= £42.95
• 1 x be quiet! Dark Base 900 Full Tower Gaming Case - Black= £179.99

Total: £1,167.75 (includes shipping: £15.90)
​

Just wanted to run it passed some of the experts on here see if any issues that could come up with this new build, any issues with the gigabyte motherboard i need to be aware of, i know there is a issue with some of the z490 gigabyte range as the I225-V 2.5Gb Ethernet, i know some of the other manufacturers have that chip on there motherboard, i have gone for a motherboard with a Realtek lan port so hopefully i won't have a issue with that, look through the list let me know what you think, i know the mugen 5 cooler is out of stock here so i may wait and see if any stock turns up or purchase one from else where.
Oh and i will be reusing the GFX 1060 card in this build untill may be untill some 3000 series cards come wider across the market, plus i hear there are issue with them crashing and so i'll see how that story pans out.

Made a purchase yesterday afternoon around 2pm just wondering is overclockers busy at the moment because my order as been displaying Order received - not yet shipped for the last 24 hours now.

 

[redknight333]

Yes i paid for next day, it was a smaller order than the list above not sure if that would make any difference, i do understand this virus is playing havoc with all aspects of life.
I did drop a msg in customer service as you suggested.

 

[redknight333]

Well on the upside they have refunded the shipping cost, but still showing Order received - not yet shipped, they endeavor to get it out today, looks like i can't see that happening, lets see 7pm at night.

I said to myself some weeks back not to order stuff till next year because of the pandemic, and i went against my feeling, and this is result of it.

 

[redknight333]

Looks like there is no next day delivery for me today, very disappointed.
