Hi Guys,

Hoping you guys can help me - Havent built a new PC in years and years and finally decided the time is right. My main uses will be for productivity - trading, office applications and some minimal photoshop. I often have lots on the go at once though. Gaming is a nice to have - although I love to game i dont really have the time. Also I would like to connect 3 monitors to the machine. Im currently thinking 2 x 27" and 1 x 49" or 34" in the future. In terms of timing Id like to get this now, but if there's a compelling reason to wait I can hold off for a month or so.

I've intentionally chosen a cheaper GFX as I know new ones are due in the near term. Happy to go cheaper if theres a better alternative.

I'd like the motherboard to be future proof, but i may have gone overkill with the X570. Also I'm currently considering getting 32gb ram as opposed to the 16gb I've currently spec'd.

Thanks in advance

Hi Lee,

Thank you for your detailed response. I kind chose the original case, cooler and Ram, based on aesthetics more than anything else (i did check out a few reviews). God knows why Ive chosen to take a liking to RGB at the tender age of 42 :D

Quick question based on the spec you have suggested - if say in a years time I decided to get a 2070 or its equivalent at the time (3070?) would the PSU still be powerful enough for that system? Also assuming the new B550 boards will be out in the next month or so I'm happy to wait.

I have made some changes and created a new basket based on the bits you suggested that I'm happy with.... Will do a bit of research on the new case you've suggested and cooler as it seems the sensible option - Although my heart is still inclined to the flashy corsair case and AIO (need to think)...

Thanks Orbitalwalsh - did a bit more research on the b550 and I think thats defo the MB chipset I'll be going for :)
 
Thanks again Lee..

Once the b550 motherboards are available I'll post my final build before hitting the order button. Hopefully you guys can give it the once over before I commit :)
 
Thanks Nick, heads up is much appreciated. Just waiting for the B550 motherboards to be released then I'll take the plunge :) Although desperation is starting to kick in..... loooooool so might just get the case that Lee suggested if I cant find a H1 by the end of the month
