New build - Gaming/Vid Editing/WFH

[Mitchell888]

Hi all!

Before I post the build, I do realise the RTX 3000 series are coming - alongside the new Ryzen 4000 series. I fully intend on selling the 1660 Super for an RTX 3070, assuming my PSU is compatible (I believe they've said a 650W minimum for the 3070.)

I've already actually put this through the config and ordered it, due to a backlog in build time. Anything I need to change now would be appreciated! A little worried the 650W PSU doesn't have enough PCIe connectors for the RTX 3070, but I'm not even sure if it uses an 8 pin or the new 12 pins yet. I'd hate to have to swap my PSU in order to upgrade GPU!

Thank you very very much. I'm swapping these out ASAP, need to ring OC first thing in the morning. How did I miss the 750W PSU being £10 more i'll never know!

Personally single 1tb NVMe m.2 might work out cheaper then two single 500GB SSDs

Just checked, you are correct.

I hope overclockers support don't mind the changes too much! They should be alright if I phone up right?

WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB 2.5" SATA 6Gbps Solid State Drive (WDS500G2B0A)

Total waste of M.2 slot for SATA drive unable to use its bandwidth capabilities and also £2.
Lot faster 1TB NVMe drive is cheaper:

Perfectly good for 8 core Ryzen Arctic Freezer 34 is £21 if wanting to keep tight budget.

And you shouldn't even consider that sluggish 3000MHz Corsair memory with its brand overprice.
