Critique my build !! New system chosen.

[duc999]

Well its now time for my old system to retire gracefully. I wanted to game and work on it (Office mainly) I would appreciate if you can critique this for me please.

Not bothered about RGB as it stands by my desk so you cant see inside, Plus I have always had a tower for expansion and upgrades with little worry.

I tried to pick quality parts with a decent shelf life. I intend to ask OcUK to build this for me as time is tight at the moment.

I already picked up an Alienware 3418DW, keyboard and mouse which are still in the boxes !

Thats a lovely build , I just cant get on with the case as its says only 2 3.5" hard drives , is that right ?

I'm also changing out the AIO for the 360 version as well

Plus I have no idea what digital halo is

 

[duc999]

Just changed them to digital. Asus aura can run them

Any reason you picked the be quiet AIO ? OcUK 360 one is on offer in the red friday sale , all perform pretty much the same ?

 

[duc999]

Seems crazy to spend £900 on a 1080 ti.

I'm not, I found it a lot cheaper, Ocuk said they would price match

 

[duc999]

Okay, ready to hit the button on my first build in 10 years

Replacing the cooler in the bundle with the Alphacool one, hoping to get a discount on the case and pricematch on the Ti.

OcUK will be building this , anything I have missed ??
