well, until next monday as that's when the new CAS14 3600 ram will be in stock
i'm chomping at the bit at the moment, but now the prices have jumped i'm going to have to split my shopping basket and build it myself.
Bought the monitor and ram (from OCUK)...i cant be having that monitor go up £200
bought the 3700x for £268 (the 3800x was available for £303 but even that didnt seem as much as a bargain given the minute jump)
cooler for £55

I went for the LG 38GL950 in the end. I watched all the reviews, read everything and i ended up spending more money
So far, ordered:
- be quiet! Pure Base 500DX ARGB Midi Tower Case - White Tempered Glass
- Team Group 8Pack RIPPED Edition 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C14 3600MHz Dual Channel Kit
- LG 38GL950
- Intel 660P 2TB
- Corsair CP-9020187-UK 750 W RM750x (only £8 more than the RM750 standard)
- BE QUIET Dark Rock 4
- AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
- MS Windows 10 PRO
- graphics card probably going to be the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER GAMING OC 3X WHITE but it's £540 (obviously not here)
- mobo (i'll leave it to the last minute in case the MSI toma comes out or i'll get the X570 AORUS ELITE or Pro Wifi)
- maybe the that gigabyte wifi card, depending on if wifi onboard mobo or if i'm going to be wired
yeah i think you might be right there. I'm not going to wait forever when the elite is a good board.
in other news: got a 2080ti for £719. it's only the PNY blower but for the price i'm not going to complain.
yeah i saw that, so i'm getting a Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV. saw a youtube that helped...

Why not get the "Aorus Pro Wifi" instead of the Elite and the Aorus wifi6 separately? is the wifi inferior on the "Pro wifi"?

if there's more functionality on the pros then they'd need to make the boards 'fatter' to allow more circuitry.
so i'm now looking at the MSI MEG X570 UNIFY. From a heat perspective, the 6 layer mobo, from a heat perspective, is nothing like some of those other MSIs. The VRM's are the same as the X570 ACE.
It can be had for £275 and it has wifi6, loads of features and seems to work well under load.
yeah, it's the jungle place and their returns policy is very good.
Sorry, not what, twice?
Ahhh ok
...i'm still not sure what you mean about mobo's not normally repaired twice before swapping?also, managed to get an HX750i for £109, based on the PSU tier list I thought it was a good bargain though it only has 7 years not 10 years warranty that the rm750x/i has. Why would that be?
I ordered the MEG X570 Unify in the end. It was the fact that it has good cooling, wifi6, loads of features and the price wasnt bad either at £275.
Which means all but my replacement gpu cooler "Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV" has been ordered. I saw a review of this being used and it seems good at £55. i dont really want to set up a custom loop.

thanks man, and thanks for all your advice!
eek! my worry is cable management. what's a good kit to buy or can i easily hide it all?
My HX750i turned up today...along with the 2080ti, and it comes with tie wraps, more than enough.
