Gaming PC/Photo Editing PC

[Prospire]

Merry Christmas All,

As per one of my previous posts, I'm looking at a new setup that will be a Gaming Rig and also used for photo editing. I've put together a system below, can anyone advise if I've missed anything or if there's any incompatibilities that I'm missing?

I am aware the CPU cooler is missing but I picked up a Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX XT 360mm Intel/AMD AIO CPU Liquid Cooler brand new on FB Marketplace a few weeks ago and have had it set aside for this.

I would really appreciate your time :-

Is editing your main use ?

You could save £68 on the m2 drives with The Kingston below, they are fast with dram.

New GPUs are around the corner in January can you wait ?

Memory is slow especially for gaming.

Corsair rmx shift has it's connections on the side not like a regular PSU so make sure it's suited to that case .

I've always used the Samsung which was my reasoning for using them. How do the Kingston Furys compare?

I'm having a nightmare finding a MOBO that will work - PC Part Picker is saying theB760-F will have a compatibility issue with the BIOS as it's not set for the 14th Gen Intel Chips.

Also I'm an Amateur Photographer so it'll be every couple of weeks - Gaming would be more common with photo editing thrown in.

Also - I could hold off for the new GPU range but I assumed they'd be tough to come by and I'd end up paying scalper prices.

Th motherboard is fine it's flagging a warning because it may need a bios update to get the 14th gen CPU to work but that motherboard has bios flashback feature which can update the bios without the need for another CPU .

Gaming x3d CPUs are the fastest like the 9800x3d but there £500 and on pre order


M2 drives no doubt the Samsung's are good but there are much more better value for money drives like the kingston , would you be able to tell the difference I doubt it but it's your money.
