What are you going to use the PC for and what res\monitor?

 

[Gray2233]

I assume you're building this yourself? If so there's one or two areas you could save some cash without noticing any performance differences.

 

[VRMan25]

What are you going to use the PC for and what res\monitor?

So 4K video rendering/ 4K 2D- 3D conversions
Vr gaming and general gaming such as cyber punk, last of us, spiderman 2. Monitor will come later so just 75" Qled 4k 120 VRR

Having it built for me as not wanting to build myself

If you contacted OCUK with the following they'd build it for you (for a fee) and you'd get all of the benefits of a pre-build such as warranty/customer support etc:

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Arctic Liquid Freezer III ARGB High Performance CPU Water Cooler - 360mm (SKU: COO-ARC-01992) = £89.99
• 1 x Crucial T500 4TB NVMe PCIe Gen4 M.2 Solid State Drive (SKU: STO-CRU-02889) = £239.99
• 1 x Corsair Vengeance EXPO RGB 64GB (2X32GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C30 6000MHz Dual Channel Kit (SKU: MEM-CRS-03749) = £184.99
• 1 x Super Flower LEADEX III GOLD UP 1000W 80 PLUS Gold Power Supply PCIe 5.1 ATX 3.1 (SKU: POW-SFL-04172) = £149.99
• 1 x UK Mains Plug with 13A Fuse to IEC C13 Socket Lead, 10A, 2m (SKU: ACC-OCS-01709) = £0.00
• 1 x Zotac GeForce RTX 5090 Solid OC 32GB GDDR7 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-ZTC-04048) = £2,099.98
• 1 x NVIDIA - DOOM: The Dark Ages Premium Edition Game Bundle (SKU: DIG-NVI-05178) = £0.00
• 1 x Antec C7 ARGB Mid Tower Case - Black (SKU: CAS-ATC-03473) = £114.95
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D Sixteen Core 5.70GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: PRO-AMD-04501) = £699.95
• 1 x Gigabyte B850 GAMING X WIFI6E (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MOT-GIG-03858) = £175.00

Total: £3,766.82 (includes delivery: £11.98)​

It should still come in as less than you were looking to spend if you stick with the 9800X3D, also you can confirm certain parts being of good quality such as the PSU. You're frankly spending a lot of cash unnecessarily, and in some cases getting weaker parts for it (more expensive doesn't mean better).

With the above you gain an 9950X3D as opposed to the 9800X3D, which depending on the software you use for workloads should see a healthy uplift. If not obviously you can save cash and opt for the 9800X3D instead.

If you don't care about bling/rgb you could save a chunk more tbh.

I'm happy with ** No Competitors ** but I will look into that site and what you have in your basket. I prefer the Gigabyte 5090

Give them a call or do it via a web note

 

[jake000]

You can just add your parts to your basket like others have done here and then post back to check it's all ok.

Let us know how you get on, I should have mentioned it's best to ring them generally.

You can leave a web note but they do take awhile to get back, a phone call will help you resolve things much more quickly and the guys on the phones are spot on.

£4.1k for that is a rip off
