You'll get the bug and keep spending even after you've built it

NathanL · 25 Apr 2018 at 09:22

Well I just decided to go with the more expensive SSD and psu haha, plus the bit more for the ram

you mean posting up pictures and then realising the cables are a mess and tearing the whole thing down and adding braided cables

I know, even when i look at other peoples builds i think, Hmmmm mind could do with that I'll buy some

NathanL · 25 Apr 2018 at 09:25

I've set aside all over Saturday to get it done. Hopefully that should give my cack-handedness enough time!

Keep your eyes peeled for a build attempt this weekend..

You should find the process a lot less daunting - we practically rebuilt your present system which is usually harder than a new build. Certainly, more opportunities for ambiguity in diagnostics.

I must say, I'd appreciate Mark Hughes being relegated!

Obviously, I would prefer a sacking and before he splurges all our money on a mismatched team...

@Plec think i just kept it to the £750-800 limit

You gotta love Ryzen.

orbitalwalsh said:
@Plecand liquid metal is a nightmare, specially when it hits carpet/rugs

I think you're using it wrong

I've only used it on request and experimenting - decent grease does the job without the hassle.

@Nathan Long - buy a windowless case - saves money and OCD tendencies

orbitalwalsh · 25 Apr 2018 at 10:08

@Plec haha, though i have a feeling Zen2 might start adding the ££££ by the end of the decade
