Covid isolation build (£1300ish)

Heads up, as youve taken note, that slim fan will replace stock bottom fan to fit the Aorus card in ! On paper it should fit but heatpipe clashes.

The standard Gaming OC version would fit just fine ! But lacks 4 yr warranty , but is £10 cheaper

Done this soec with another user on here and clashed by 5mm !

Monitor deals to be had , if in stock anywhere is the question...

Do you think it worth not use the slim fan / changing the case for the 4 year warranty (seems sensible to me!). When looking at cases i'm not sure what to look for other than aesthetic

Not matx as others in the format aren't as good as the Silverstone

I've ordered the PC (thanks guys!) but the motherboard is out of stock

any suggestions on a decent alternative? I don't want that to be the bottleneck if I can help it! Cheers!

Avoid the b450 and go for the x570 ! Gigabyte x570 Gaming X .
B450 cant take next gen Zen3

Hi Matt,

I went for this case in the end https://www.overclockers.co.uk/be-q...tower-case-grey-tempered-glass-ca-13u-bq.html

Orbital, the Gigabyte x570 is roughly an extra £100 - do you think it's worth it over the https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-b450-tomahawk-max-socket-am4-ddr4-atx-motherboard-mb-33t-ms.html

Cheers

If it was me I'd save the £100 and get the Tomahawk.

Doesn't support Zen3.

X570 and B550 which beats most entry and mid range x570 boards does , drops some PCIe 4.0 support for cost saving
