Hey folks, looking for some advice it’s been a while since I done an upgrade and it’s hard to keep up with the constant changes.
My basket at OcUK:
Carrying over my 3070 Aorus until the 50 series GPUs come out, likely upgrading to 5080.
Instead of the GSK CL30 I'm looking at the GSK Royal CL28 kit, from what I understand lower CL is better? Am doing the sensible thing in going for 6000Mhz, I see online that this is the "sweet spot" for this CPU.
The motherboard might be a bit overkill for me as I'm probably not going to upgrade to WiFi 7, but the m.2 slots are useful for the future and I'll probably hang onto this build for a good 5 years. Will likely end up doing some overclocking on this too.
One thing I can't really make sense of is the ATX PSU standards, I've currently got a Corsair cx650 Watt PSU and I'll probably upgrade once 50 series is out.
Swapping out all fans for TL 120 Reverse, maybe throw in x2 LCD TL 120s as the exhaust in the rear, otherwise I'll use the spare fans from the AIO
A bit worried about the case, if the new GPUs are any bigger than the 4090 it might not fit
Any thoughts, guidance welcome! I hope I'm doing this right....
