Hi all, not put a rig together for years so totally out of the loop .

I have specd this system , and need some constructive advice .

My lad will mainly play

Also game such as totally epic battle simulator , rag doll type game , which can be quite consuming on load I would guess when he chucks in lots of units .

Hi Gary thank you for the reply ,

I was trying to add the x3d but OC system would not let me !

I would also add I was trying to get it built , and delivered ready , as I said been a while since putting a system together , never mind remembering how to even boot into bios , or using dos commands :-/


But I appreciate the saving that comes with diy build , just worried I would get it wrong, hence using the pre built route .

Edit : what about ram speed and also getting the black wd2tb ssd

Do be aware that AMD are launching new CPUs - the 9000 series - imminently and that high-end GPUs from Nvidia may appear late this year. Also Intel’s new GPUs are in the offing with that performance tier expected.

Yes I did note that there new chips due between 8-13 August, which will bring down existing chip price and also offer new tech , is this worth the wait , ?

If you have the parts you want you can always give OCUK a call to ask them to build it for you.

There will be a cost, I think someone tried to do this and was costing £300 (May vary so don't take that as the cost)

Thanks I did consider this !

This.

Judging from the above the spec I listed would still work out about the same price as the prebuild but offer a better spec.

That said, building yourself really isn't that difficult now but I do appreciate the concerns when dealing with such expensive equipment. You don't need to fiddle with dos or anything anymore either, the whole process is very streamlined and Windows pretty much installs itself.

I have never heard / seen windows ever doing anything itself that well
