PC Spec Check

[CrixxzeH]

Hi,

Looking to get a new PC. I am not the most knowledgable person when it comes to PC parts. Looking for a PC that is going to run AAA games on a 27' monitor at decent frame rates smoothly.
Price range is £2,300-£2,500. Going to be pairing this rig with a ROG Strix XG27AQMR.

Going to be getting the PC assembled by OCUK as Im not confident when it comes to building and dont want to risk anything going wrong with it being a substantial amount of money.
-Motherboard is on PREORDER, but will be contacting OCUK as soon as I've got feedback from you guys.

• Could someone please check if all components are compatible
• Will the GPU fit in the case selected
• Any parts worth swapping out that would increase performance
• Will I need anymore fans to maintain a cool temprature

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Eight Core 5.00GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3DT-AM) = £389.99
• 1 x Asus ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WIFI (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-6JX-AS) = £229.99

• 1 x Zotac GeForce RTX 4080 Trinity 16GB GDDR6X PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-13H-ZT) = £999.95
• 1 x Lian Li Lancool 216 Mid-tower PC case - Black (SKU: CA-7BG-LL) = £89.98

Thankyou all for replying

• I will wait for the 4080 super, makes sense if its going to be more performance for the same price/ish.
• Will swap out the 64GB 5600mhz for 32GB 6000mhz
• Will keep the ASUS motherboard as its my fav motherboard

Couple of things I will ring OcUK and ask about once the 4080 super is released;
- The cable extension kit. - Make sure it provides the right cables for all of the components so it leaves me with aesthetic cable management
- Any thickness/height restrictions on the AIO for the chosen mount in the case. -Just to make sure it does fit in the case or if I will have to chose another.

I know a lot of you recommended to get Windows 11 key instead of buying retail, but im not sure how that would work as I am wanting the system to be built by OcUK and want this system to be as "Plug n Play" as possible, I am a supernoob with PC's so I dont want to be activating a key at home and having problems with any windows updates once I've got the system at home, I am willing to pay the extra for OcUK to install the OS and get it up to date with windows updates, drivers and updating BIOS etc.

again, thankyou for the feedback its appreciated.

It is super easy, if you can use a USB stick, then you can do it

I get you, I really do.

The system would come built, download the media creation tool onto a USB and just change the boot drive to USB and proceed with the OS install with a key I bought online.

Im an anxious person and would just like the whole thing to be an easy process (for me).

Dont want the system coming and having to mess flashing BIOS, drivers, OS for what its worth, for me its definitely worth just having a professional do it and it and having the peace of mind.

atleast when it comes setup, I can easily keep ontop with automatic windows updates and driver installs, that would be me preference.

You could ask them to install win 11 without activating it, get your own key.

Will enquire about this, thankyou.

Arctic rad and fan thickness is ~ 63mm so should have room to spare.

I did have one in my Pro M a long time ago and was nightmare to fit.

Luckily my case has a removable rad tray which did help, but had to do a balancing act to screw the pump head onto the mobo and then loosen the screws on the front case fan to slide the tray in. It did overhang my motherboard quite a bit though and had to have the VRM fan facing down as it twisted the tubes if it was up.

Pretty sure the Lancool 216 will not have these problems.

Spoiler: My PC

Looks top notch does that mate, really nice.

If worst, comes to worst, could always chose another, its just got some really good reviews so it was my first choice.
