New System Configuration

If you cannot build a PC yourself, then that looks like a beast of a PC.

What are you going to use the PC for as maybe 32GB is not needed and 16GB would be fine.

I can build them and have been doing so for the last 15 years, but am just feeling lazy now :o

I'll use the PC for a few games (nothing major), video encoding and running VMs (that's why I've gone for so much RAM).
 
It fits to, that is important.

But I have just noticed, WD Black 3TB, no real need, save a few ££ with a Red or Barracuda.
 
If you want to make it cheaper:

i7 5820K instead of i7 5930K

Enthoo Luxe instead of the Primo. Seems a bit of a waste to use the Primo with an AIO.

Drop the sound card and use onboard which is good enough.

H110i GT > H100i GTX. The bigger radiator/fans on the H110i GT should give you better performance than the H100i GTX.

I prefer WD but the Reds are not available on the OcUK Configurator.

I'm not too bothered about saving money and want to future proof it a little hence the higher CPU.

I've never liked onboard sound and the cost of the sound card isn't that much so thought it would be worth it.

The cooler you mentioned is not available in the OcUK Configurator.

About to order and the M.2 and Corsair Hydro are not in stock :(

The Corsair H110i GT is in stock, as is the NVMe version of the SM951. If they don't appear in the configurator then you will need to ask customer services.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £321.88
(includes shipping: £9.90)

That is pretty funny actually... I had posted in the Customer Service forum about 10 minutes before your post, and asked if the parts could be swapped with the ones you mentioned :D
 
Their reply:

The alternatives you've provided are better than the out of stock alternatives costs £1 cheaper.

There is also the PSU and RAM in the build that appear to be out of stock, the 1000W is way overkill for this machine unless you plan to SLI/ Tri-SLI.

Can you pick alternatives for the RAM/PSU or shall I recommend alternatives?
 
If you want to keep the same size power supply, then the XFX Black Edition is a very good unit.
For a single card then a 650W is enough, or the XFX XTR is an extra £2 for 750W.

If you just want plain Black or Red Ram then go with the Corsair or Kingston. The Avexir has White Strobe LED lighting.

Those work :)

The SuperFlower has those awful (In my opinion) light up connectors. It is a great unit though, and as you have the Phanteks Primo it is hidden anyway.
