Looks good, running Ultra and Aorus 7, look damn good in the flesh .

In Win 303 or 101 gets my vote, Lian li PC-O11 dynamic is killer but long waiting list

Push Samsung B-Die memory if you can !

 

[Crysalis]

Only guaranteed Samsung B-die is the 8Pack kit? Spending this much nother £20 wont kill me anyways

@Crysalis

Looks good , if you don't need a C port the case without it is £20 cheaper .

Also it's normally recommend for 650w for 80ti and will come in handy if when Zen2 + releases in two yea s time with more cores and higher TDP ..

Honestly Aorus 1080ti is worth it over standard Gigabyte card, and is on sale !!

 

[Crysalis]

Hmm need to find a few threads to comment on for free postage *whistles innocently

 

[NovaKill4]

Yeah you need a bigger PSU 600w minimum recommended for that card. Personally i would go 750w to have some good clearance and its only £20 more for the same brand/model.

Won't take you too long, few of us had got the 4000hz kit a few weeks ago at 170 odd. And turn the speed down to 3000/3333hz with lower timings .
Least higher kit gives up options for future bios and next gen CPUs etc

Post up in gen life section !

Antec unit I believe is made by seasonic and Tier 1 , just a little cheaper and 7 ye warranty instead of 10 .
Focus Rebranded Unit is called Riotoro G2 , lot cheaper but hard to find !!! Keeps 10 yr warranty to

Spoiler: In budget ?

Aftermarket cooler? How bad the stock one, quick read seems to be it's ok, but hard to fit for some reason.
And thanks for help all

If your company verclVer cling manually, 4.1/2 GHz across all cores at 1.41-3v then ryzen can get a bit toasty and above stock cooler .
Also it's auto overclock is temp sensitive.
Prob best to see how it goes, if needed buy one .

Spoiler: My 2700 at 4.1ghz 1.43v runs 70c with workloads but that's under 360 AIO

What monitor are you going to be using ?

No need for additional tower cooler. Your specced CPU is mere 65W, so...
Think of optimising the storage subsystem, something like this:

@4K8KW10 you bu a 2700 to overclock to be slightly above 2700x with PB2 and save some cash but you pa the price in voltage and heat.. 1.43v in my case for 4.1ghz across all cores 3400hz ram

also found using AMD Ram Calculator , the higher speed Samsung B-Die kits allow for tighter timings or better shot at higher speed with safe timing mode- but still its something like 80% chance working first time

can pull off 14-14-14-28 to the above 14-14-14-31 with 4000hz kit running at 3200hz

 

[4K8KW10]

1.43V for a 12nm chip is too much. You will fry it in no time
I am not giving my 2700 more than 1.15V. The less, the better.

1.43V would be quite a bit overclock even on 65/45nm chips.

12nm optimisation on 14nm die . ran ryzen 1700 on 1.44v and 1.40v for a 3.9ghz workstation that renders for 5 days at a time

 

[Crysalis]

Fear my ****** photo taking, but goodies have landed, no Haribo

 

[orbitalwalsh]

Damn, jealous !

Good luck mate, take your time

Leave everything stock/default and get everything installed and updated !
Then roll on with the fun and games !

Worth doing research on AMD Ram calculator for those ram kits !

Follow the instructions then select 3200/3400/3466/3533 Fast - take a snap shot of each one then try the lowest and work your way up after testing

 

[4K8KW10]

Damn, jealous !

You are a very dishonest person.
With double standards - promote DDR speeds which have 0 effect on daily routines but fast PCI-e x4 SSDs which actually make a tremendous actual performance difference is a no-go for you?!
How?!

Have you got your ryzen system up and running ?
Happy to assist and save someone cash for double the amount of storage space when it's costs a fortune . I'm sure 90% of users here would be happy to have double the storage space and load up Fortnite 4 seconds slower .
Surprisingly ram speed can make a difference, you slap in 3200hz of TG Vulcan ram in with 4.1ghz on a 2700, then you slap in Samsung B-Die, optimised (pain in the back side ) with that CPU at 4ghz... And the optimised ram and slower CPU wins

Believe OP saved quite a bit with that ram kit being on sale too

 

[Crysalis]

Now now boys don't fight over me.. Did give a lot of thought to the Polaris ssd, but like Orbital said decided to save a few quid/get a bigger drive instead. The ram i have nfc, but from my little research looks fine and placing my trust in Orbital it gonna work fine
