Hiya - been absent for 100 years and my son's getting a PC that he's saved up for, he doesn't want to self build and I don't want to take the fun away from him of unboxing something amazing and taking over to build it myself - hence getting OcUK to do the hard work.
So I have a couple of questions, i could google them but I respect your opinions more. (also apols if any of these are retarded questions)
1) Should I pair an AMD CPU with an AMD Graphics card, and Intel with Nvidia - or is that unnecessary?
2) I'm lost on CPU coolers - there seems to be so many options and so little price difference (order of magnitude) any recommendations?
3) any views on these spec:
Intel & Nvidia
Case: Asus TUF GT501
CPU: i7-10700 3.8 (comet lake)
Mobo: Asus ROG Z490-F
CPU: Corsair Hydro iCUE
Memory: Vulcan 16GB (2x8gb)
GPU: RTX 3070 or 3080 when they're in stock
SSD 1tb & HDD 4tb
PSU: Kolink 850W
AMD & RADEON
Case: Asus TUF GT501
CPU: AMD Rysen 5 5600X 4.6GHz
Mobo: Gigabyte X570
CPU: Corsair Hydro iCUE
Memory: Vulcan 16GB (2x8gb)
GPU: Radeon 6800 when it comes out
SSD 1tb & HDD 4tb
PSU: Kolink 850W
any thought very gratefully received.
