Hows this?

1) AMD Ryzen has lots of cores and is as good as X99 for productivity etc.

2) Its SLI ready (board+PSU)

3) The case is very very quiet and so is the cooler (the PSU has a fan eco mode so that runs passive at low load/temp)

4) The GTX1080Ti might be overkill, a GTX1080 would also be fine for this monitor.

5) Big+fast SSD with a large HDD

6) IPS panel so you have better colours/contrast etc compared to a regular TN panel.


You might not need a copy of windows, thus could get 32Gb of RAM instead of 16GB.

1800X? Why not go for the 1700 as when oveclocked there's near as makes no difference. And save yourself around £150 at the same time.

Also, 1080 Ti will also allow maxing all games on this monitor. Not overkill for sure.

OP may not want to overclock, he may want the fastest he can get out of the box and keep stability high

Also a GTX1080 is more than capable of driving a 1440P Gsync monitor maxed out, I know as I have one

1700x would be fine even at stock too. the .3ghz difference isn't that major. save £150.

I had heard stories about "stulid", I thought it was a myth, stories people told each other in the OC forums, in the same way kids believe in Santa Claus, when you post a spec "stulid" will be along to help you out.............. however seems the legend is true

I have to say "stulid" your build looks awesome to me.

1) AMD Ryzen has lots of cores and is as good as X99 for productivity etc.

I admit i've been biased to intel ever since I got into pc's, but will now try AMD for first time.

2) Its SLI ready (board+PSU)

Doubt I ever SLI but good to have I guess.

3) The case is very very quiet and so is the cooler (the PSU has a fan eco mode so that runs passive at low load/temp)

This probably be the only thing I change, I have some weird love for Lian Li, don't judge me...... So was thinking maybe this

4) The GTX1080Ti might be overkill, a GTX1080 would also be fine for this monitor.

about time I had a killer graphic for once

5) Big+fast SSD with a large HDD

Sounds good

6) IPS panel so you have better colours/contrast etc compared to a regular TN panel.

Awesome

That Lian li sure looks nice, only thing is it says maximum CPU cooler height of 150mm.

But it will take an all-in-one water cooler such as - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...quid-cooler-oem-ocuk-exclusive-bu-02f-cs.html

The one thing I would change is change the Toshiba drive for something better
such as a WD

 

[otemu]

The case, motherboard and graphic card currently on pre-order so once there available will order the parts, I will also post the screens when building it in this thread.

Good call as I do like WD, will go for this one

I think it is worth going with the R7 1700 and overclocking it, especially as it saves you £130.

That psu is a bit expensive. I would go with the SuperFlower Leadex II instead as it is also an excellent unit. You get a 7 year warranty with it. If you want to stick with a Corsair unit then I would go with the RMx.

Seagate HDD is slightly cheaper.

You can also drop the thermal paste as the H100 will have it's own.

Hi again,

I would stick with the 1700X as it has the extended frequency range unlocked etc.

The ASUS board I would swap for a Gigabyte X370 K5 or similar as i keep seeing a few horror stories about ASUS AM4 boards, more so than others.

You also do not need the paste as the cooler has it already.

Done will post screenshots when it all arrives

 

[ZXSpectrum]

Those Toshiba drives are terrible. Even in a good case with good hdd vibration dampening they are flipping noisy.

 

[stulid]

Mines fine.

 

[ZXSpectrum]

You must have the good one then. Lad here has a 4Tb one and it vibrates like crazy and I have probably build 20-30 systems recently and they all seem to make a constant droning/humming/vibration.

 

[otemu]

Parts arrived last week, but sadly with madness with work haven't even had chance to build, did manage to make the chair today though. Not the greatest camera shots but will be uploading more and more as I eventually build the system, if anyone is interested that is

 

[otemu]

So Here are the latest screens of my pc build
