Hi All,
I've been a bit of a lurker on these forums over the years, trying to learn what I can, but it's been a long time since I ever attempted to build my own gaming PC and I'm a little over my head with no idea where to start.
I'm looking to salvage the good bits out of my existing setup, and then build a new, water-cooled setup that will fit in a work desk cabinet with dimensions (H63cm x W43cm x D53cm).
AMD FX 8350
8GB DDR3 RAM
ROG-Poseidon-GTX1080Ti
Gigabyte 970A-DS3P AMD 970 Motherboard
232GB Sandisk Ultra 3D SSD
232GB HDD
111GB (ish) Sabrent SSD
Corsair 850W Gold certified PSU
Generic tower case currently too big for the cabinet
I've also got two mismatched AOC 22" G2260VWQ6 monitors on a VonHaus Gas Powered Double Arm that I'm looking to either replace at some point in the future or consolidate into a wide screen monitor - but that's another issue
I don't know much about water cooling or where to start, but there's probably not that much ventilation in the cabinet and figured it would be better. The reason it's going in the cabinet is I want to consolidate my work/gaming setup to one home office space and keep it tidy and out of sight.
Any suggestions on what to swap out and what to keep?
Budget is £500 to £1000 - ish. I plan to buy this and assemble as a project over several paycheques
I'm grateful for any guidance and expertise.
