Hello all.
I am looking to build a new pc. Been several years since I last did this and that is what my current pc is from - 2013. Been using the work pc at home since covid but need to give that back as moved to a new job. I am a bit out of the loop with components but have a rough idea from some initial research.
The use of it will be gaming (including vr), lots of development work involving game (main job) and engineering applications (secondary job) as well. So compiling speed is important (including game engines, Linux images and more) which can use a lot of RAM. The requirements are:-

- No GPU needed, I have a 1080 to use until the new 4000 series is out.
- 64gb RAM a requirement - DDR5?
- I am interested in the Intel Core i9-12900KS.
- Two 4k high quality monitors as well. Probably 144hz refresh?
- Budget is around £5k.
- High capacity main SSD (4GB?).
- High capacity mechanical drive (4GB again?).
- I do not want a case that is full tower, so big and heavy.
- Reasonably quiet under idle.
