You just need to press bb code at the bottom of your basket then copy and paste here . What is your build for ?

 

[Papillon]

Thanks, it should be fixed now. Will be used for general browsing, and some video editing. I want it to work with dual 4K monitors.

Why the Firepro? I would assume a equivalent cost Geforce Card would be better than that Firepro?

 

[Sparx]

If there's no reason for the Firepro other than it has 2x DP ports for 4K, then you could swap it for something like a Nvidia GTX 950.

It has a HDMI 2.0 and DP port which will also work with 4K.

The Fractal Design S doesn't have an optical drive bay. You would be better going for the USB version of W10, or get an external DVD drive if you need one for future use.

I went for the Firepro because of the 2 x DP, and the fact it is 4K. Sounds like there are better alternatives?

Are all the components compatible with eachother if I do go for this?

I understand about the lack of optical drive bays - I will use an external DVD to put the operating system on.

Will the M2 SSD work?

Thanks

Anyone?

Yes, the m.2 slot on that motherboard has 4x pcie 3.0 lanes

If you post us what you need

- tower. monitor? keyboard? OS? etc and your price we can try make a better one ! Though for £900 I personally would look towards 4K.

 

[Papillon]

Thanks. I would like a tower, I don't need a keyboard, and it will be used with dual Dell P2715Q monitors, so 4K each. I have a copy of Windows 10 but that is used on my other computer so I can't use it again (can I?). This new computer will be replacing an older computer that I have a Windows 7 disc for - however, I would like to have both running Windows 10 so I think I will need another copy.

The budget really is £7-800 but I got carried away. It will not be used for games, but must support dual 4k at 60Hz.

This card will perform better than the Firepro and has 3 DP. So will work for 4k x 2

With regards to the rest of the machine, I will let others do that for you. I'm not great at whole systems.

Although I would get this - great bundle great price
