had the kids all weekend whilst i let the wife build ikea furniture at 6 months pregnant - oh and paint the walls too.... I looked far worse. Apologies to anyone in Aberdeen park that had to witness myself perform CPR on a doll and my girl crash her dolls pram into a tree and then started crying doll wouldnt wake up- then chase after my son who was unleashed on his bike in public for the first time !

Brilliant - how did you wangle that?

Although, your adventures sound more exhausting - but still, kudos for getting a 6 month space hopper to do your DIY...

@tamzzy - the thread has extended :D

My wife went into labour with our first while holding a walnut worksurface steady for me to Jigsaw. No, self control... :D

*cough*Decorator*cough* - so relaxing watching them do all the prep work. They even sand between 'emulsion' coats - who does that?..

they're all good builds. i wouldn't go with the 4k screen (as above) personally - one too many sacrifices (cpu especially)

in comparison with my build, @orbitalwalsh has sacrificed the mobo (no wifi) and storage (no hdd), and no peripherals to get a better gpu (2070 super) into the build.

as long as you finished the DIY, a laobouring woman can normally wait. it's the impatient ones that gets it over with in an hour...

I'm clinging to the fact i 'may' have a small amount of Swiss ancestry.

She did wait (but i was left to do DIY by myself /tuts)...

...a 28 hr wait, then number one son scared the bejezuz out of us, when he finally made an appearance. The magical wonderment that is child birth... :/

Unless, it was one long 'painful' ruse to get out of helping with the DIY... (i would be so very dead if she read this.)

@Plec @tamzzy

Plec, SANDING! seems they were milking £ per hour there ! i've learnt rock paper is a blessing followed by wall paper over the top if surface is naff.

2 cats !

what Tamz said! hope you finished the cut ! and put away the tools!

Think first build is suitable for budget with peripherals etc.

problem with choice now! we complained when intel and nvidia were ruling with high prices and no competition, now its the other way ! though GPUs still too high . AMD RX Cards with PCIe 4.0 connection that doesn't get used costs extra .

you'll have lots of fun either way!!!!!!

All i'll say is an extra ~£100 gets you the best of both (mix of @tammzy/Orbi's 1st build).

But you need to draw a line somewhere and finalise your absolutes - 4k being unrealistic (pretend you didn't see Orbi's 2nd build :D)
