@orbitalwalsh thanks..

This time i don't want to build myself so want a prebuilt.. and want something that will last minimum 3 years hopefully 5 (accepting that a GPU upgrade will be necessary). With the recent CPU and GPU releases its made it more confusing (in a good way!)

I am tempted by the 2080 Super as want to game at 1440p UW but also considering just saying what the heck and taking a 2080TI with the 9900k

@orbitalwalsh currently have an i5 6600k with a 1070 and a 32" UW 3340x1440 - hence the need for a big upgrade

if it is 60hz only then 2080 super should handle it

yeah its an Alienware AW34 GSync @120HZ. Lovely monitor needs a good card

old thread but wanted to update!

Took receipt of new machine couple days ago and very very happy. Build quality is great, the Phanteks Evolve case is stunning (subjective i know but I am happy!)

Performance wise not done too much testing but its running a 9900k @4.8 and an Asus GeForce RTX 2080TI ROG Strix so it does everything without breaking sweat. Its super quite even with all the fans at 100% which is a massive plus.

@orbitalwalsh thanks! honestly not sure of pros and cons to positioning on front or top. I played about 2 hrs of BFV last night and CPU temps maxed at 68
