Going to get this:
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk...-8gb-graphics-three-free-games-fs-1aq-og.html

I've taken off Windows 10 and added:
Team Group TeamGroup 480GB L5 Lite SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 3D NAND Solid State Drive

However, I've had to change to the
Asus Radeon RX VEGA 56 ROG Strix OC 8GB HBM2 PCI-Express Graphics Card

As the
adeon RX VEGA 56 Pulse 8GB HBM2 PCI-Express

Isn't in stock until late decemeber.

I asked OCUK about the case change and the PSU change, but they said we'd lose all the discount. So i'm just buy it as standard and upgrade the PSU in the next month.

Would you guys agree that is a sensible option? The case will also do for the short term.

Next question is what display should i get to go with it? 1080p 144hz

Hi

Avoid Asus Vega cards as they run hot. I would take the Gigabyte version. The Vega 56 is a good match for 1080p/144Hz if you want to get towards that 144Hz refresh rate.

The RX 590 does a good job as well though at 1080p so I guess it depends on what sort of frame rates you want. You can check out a review of the Sapphire RX 590 below which also shows a Vega 56 results.

There is a £47 price difference between the 8GB and 16GB kits on the store so not sure why it is a £67 difference on the configurator. You could always ask them if they would match that price.
