[ANDARIAL]

Maybe get an nvme drive instead of the M2 drive?
They are supposed to be a lot quicker
And how about 16 GB of ram

Dump the bundle you are getting ripped off. If you select the components on their own Mobo/CPU/RAM it's £517.97, so you are paying £21 towards your FREE SSD, also the motherboard is far too expensive for an X370 version, as OCUK have it marked up much higher than it can be had else where ~£120-30, so again your FREE SSD is being fully paid for by these inflated prices.

Grab a good B450/X470 board, the 2700X, and you should probably up it to 16GB RAM if you are using it for VR. I'd probably get the parts listed below.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 Eight Core 2700X 4.35GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £289.99
• 1 x MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £119.99
• 1 x Team Group Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey (TLGD416G30= £128.99

Total: £549.47 (includes shipping: £10.50)​

​

You don't get the "FREE SSD" but you get 16GB DDR4 3000MHz RAM, and a full featured board with a decent VRM, that will be more than happy running the 2700X - and the cost is the same as the kit.

OK looking expensive but gonna swap the mobo and CPU for the ones in my current rig

For the record im using the board and cpu to update my main rig with the 1700 i have going in the HTPC. Not sure if i should keep the card for my rig or stick with the sli 980ti

 

[Big T]

all done - thanks all

 

[Jonnybmac]

Just a question but i have an msi b450-a pro. I took this option so i had more money for some 3200 ram that was compatable with the boards xmp profile.

What benefit would having a 470 over a 450? Unless i was wanting 64gb of ram i see no difference?
