My PC has been dispatched!

Ah. A lot happened since I left.

Here are my specs

1 x Lian-Li Lancool II Mesh RGB Midi-Tower Case - Black
1 x MSI MPG B550 Gaming Edge WiFi (AMD AM4) B550 ATX Motherboard
1 x AMD Ryzen 9 3900X Twelve Core 4.6GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail
1 x Scythe SCFM-2000 FUMA 2 Dual Fan CPU Cooler - 2x120 mm
1 x Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Gaming OC 3X 8192MB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card
1 x Super Flower Leadex III 750W 80 PLUS Gold Modular Power Supply - Black
1 x Team Group Vulcan Z T-Force 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey

1 x Seagate 2 Tb Barracuda 7200

LG GL850 Monitor




Was going to get a ryzen 5900, but I built this before cyberpunk was delayed and wanted to ensure I'd get it in time. Gonna upgrade the graphics card at some point. But it looks like a rad machine.
 
Enjoy mate, lovely feeling turning it on for the first time :)

Ignore the negative folks in here, they sometimes forget they've left creche and are hanging with the grown ups. I'm pretty sure OCUK is capable of packing even the most fickle pc comfortably.

I'd be more worried about the pc arriving fully working than haribo.

Stress on installed components is extremely high. My mate had to have 3 parts replaced when his arrived.

Motherboard, PSU and gpu iirc.

Someone's clearly never ordered a pre-build from OcUK :rolleyes:

Enjoy OP, it's a great feeling!

OP What do you want your PC for? Leisure or Business ? :)

Leisure for now. Maybe Business at a stench. I used to do YouTube a few years back, so I might revisit something like that one day.

Huge upgrade over my current PC which is

I ordered a custom pc once..

Never again though..

When mine arrived i was getting constant blue screens loading problems ect..

Sent it back. they said there was nothing wrong with it..

Got it back to me same problems on and off for the last 4 years i have had it.

Then last week almost 4 years exactly to the day i bought it.

It died.

£4000 for four years use not bad yea..

{ reading around various places it seems the motherboard and cpu combo that is in the pc was well known for being unreliable in 2016, wish i had know that at the time. you would have thought a pc builder would have, and would not have been selling ''custom built'' pc's with that combo in them }

A lesson learnt though.
 
What’s really annoying me right now is that anything that is dispatched as “next day” is actually, either dispatched the next day or if you order on a Friday, it means 3 days. It’s not as if DPD don’t deliver at weekends either.

Example: radiator I’ve been waiting for for weeks was dispatched this afternoon (Friday). It’s being delivered on Monday. How is that next day???

The only reason why I’d buy from Overclockers right now is if they were dramatically cheaper. I’d rather buy from elsewhere just to get my stuff on time.

Edit: so it’d coming today apparently! Which makes me take this back a little bit

My first purchase from OcUK was a pre-built PC using the then quite new Slot A Athlon. I'd chosen the components, but had OcUK build it for me. In the shop, staff advised me that they knew of reliability issues with the combination of that CPU and the then current revision of the recently released motherboard I'd chosen. They'd sell it to me, but they suggested a different motherboard, which was cheaper. On another occasion in the shop, I overheard another customer who wanted a CPU replacement for an older system. Compatible CPUs were no longer sold, so it would be a new motherboard and RAM to go with the new CPU. OcUK suggested a relevant bundle they could sell to the customer, but also advised the customer that it would be much cheaper for them to buy a compatible CPU second hand and that would serve the purpose they were using their PC for.

Which is why when I buy PC hardware (not very often these days) I do it from OcUK if I can. A business that sells to customers rather than at customers is worth buying from. It's also sound business practice because it's good for repeat business. Let a potential sale go today, gain a dozen sales in the future.

Also helps that it's not too far up the road.
