Gaming pc (future proof) gpu in hand

I try and get the best value for money so I would lean towards the 3900x especially for £400.

10850k is similar performance but less money.

Gaming intel are still on top but but at 4k is more gpu bound, take a look at this article its with a 3080.

How Much CPU Does the GeForce RTX 3080 Need?

Need to add another120mm fan for the rear exhaust CORSAIR SP120 RGB


Many thanks, Micky! Which 120mm fan should I add? I can then place the order before 3pm so hopefully arrive tomorrow :)
 
Thanks Micky! I wish you and orbitalwash were here to watch over the build!! I hope it all comes with clear instructions on where to mount things in the case etc lol.
Watch plenty of videos and read up , remember to download windows 10 onto a usb drive.

The motherboard will virtually walk you threw it don't skip threw . The bios is important but can't take some time to get your head around.

You can always quote us and we will reply if you need any advice or just to let us know how it's going.

Wanna see a picture when done.

You’re a star, and very kind with all your replies. Again, your time is greatly appreciated :)
I will download this evening and swat up.
One last question before I hit the buy now .....would this cpu cooler work well with my chosen case? I like the Simplistic design....

You’re not cracking up...I did lol!! But I then read further and read exactly what you stated, that the non s was slightly better. I’m presuming the non s will still fit? I’m going to press the order button! :D
 
You have 2 coolers In your basket the noctua is gonna look ugly in that case.

Yes you have everything you need
 
As always. Didn't noctua have covers for their horrid but epic cooling towers ? Sure there's with covers ?

BeQuiet should have down a white Dark Rock Pro 4 by now.. even using their middle tier Fans (shadows ) would have sold like hot cakes !
