I think I'm settled on the following..
My basket at Overclockers UK:
- 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 Eight Core 1700X 3.80GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £389.99
- 1 x MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon AMD X370 (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £169.99
- 1 x be quiet! Silent Loop Superior Liquid CPU Cooler - 280mm= £136.99
- 1 x Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut High Performance Thermal Paste - 3ml / 7.8g= £12.95
- 1 x TeamGroup Dark Pro 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black/Grey (TDPGD416G30= £139.99
Total: £849.91
(includes shipping: £0.00)
You can save £7 get the 1g thermal paste you don't need 7.8g for one CPU XD
Similar to me but i got the LED TeamGroup because it's £113 atm.
Just waiting for Gibbo to confirm his reply to me from a few pages ago before i decide on the CPU before pre-ordering.
I'm leaning towards the Corsair H110 AIO, (I think it will fit my H440)

Yes I shall have to refrain from saying any more, OC should not be an issue but someone will moan.
Still no more from me now, the 2nd of March is not too far away anyway.
Will you at least finish of what you were saying 2 pages ago XD?
He may be thinking of this memory.

I see, I am going to be having 64GB ram in my system.......
Nice one, thanks. I'd missed that.
I'd gone with the TeamGroup Dark Pro for the tighter timings (15-15-15-35).
I'm also in an H440 sauna. Hoping Ryzen isn't too much of thermal reactor.

Hmm,going from my previous comment - I wonder if the fact Ryzen is an SOC might not help with overclocking? I wonder how things like the SATA and USB controller logic is affected by things like extra voltage during overclocking??

Does quad channel memory make any difference vs dual channel?
In some specialist applications and benchmarks, yes. For gaming or anything a home user would do, no.

It depends on the kind of workload. If its more memory bandwidth intensive,then it might and it will be probably were socket 2011 will have advantage over consumer sockets.
Indeed, just looked at the article
So that means someone from in here feeds WCCFTECH???? Who's the mole?????
More like someone from WCCFTECH is tasked with reading OCUK and feeding 'news'.
90% of their articles are 'our sources say that X' where sources are some post by some guy in some forum.
Only in Workstation style workloads, and in those large projects you'd want ECC memory as well anyway. Otherwise it won't make too much difference for Prosumer use.

Are you planning on putting the AIO at the top or in the front?
I was thinking top for me, but reading around it's starting to look like I should move my HDD to the top cage, remove the bottom two, put the AIO there then move the 2 fans to the top.
Also i'm upgrading from a Core2Quad and DDR2 so anything is faster for me XD.
I was looking at that and may switch if the deal stops before I click pre-order lol.
hard to say, OCuk seem to lacking good memory or sold out, best i found for 2x16 is this Corsair dominator 3000mhz cl15 1.2-1.35v 279£
also you need 32Go of ram for work or is this just for gaming ? because if it's the latter then 2x8 should be more than enough.

I'm not saying he's right. It's just that's the only 2666 DDR4 memory I can find with CL13 timings.

Thanks guys the answers I expected.

@Gibbo You might wanna have a Word with AMD as your the Alpha Supplier in the UK right? This just came through to my email directly from AMD marketing....
