Hi all

Max £3,200 once in a 6 year upgrade been waiting for 2 years for this. I want everything to be compatible as they can. 2 SSD and 64GB ram, Flight sims etc.

Thanks.

Not building it my self i will ask OCUK to do it like i did 6 years ago with this PC.

You could make an offer on this?

My basket at OcUK:

1 x Ex-Demo Scimitar - Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC (SKU: BG-FS-106-OG) = £2,549.99

Total: £2,557.98 (includes delivery: £7.99)

Not sure what OCUK charge for a custom build now.

5080 is just a placeholder, since most are out of stock.

My basket at OcUK:

1 x AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Eight Core 5.20GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: PRO-AMD-03517) = £479.99

1 x Gigabyte X870 EAGLE WIFI7 (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MOT-GIG-03322) = £219.98

1 x Corsair Vengeance EXPO 64GB (2X32GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C30 6000MHz Dual Channel (SKU: MEM-CRS-02841) = £179.99

1 x Palit GeForce RTX 5080 Gaming Pro OC 16GB GDDR7 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-PAL-04058) = £1,199.99

2 x Kingston FURY Renegade 2TB PCI-e 4.0 NVMe M.2 Solid State Drive (SFYRS/2000G) (SKU: STO-KNG-01330) = £124.99

1 x Lian Li Lancool 216 Mid-tower PC case - Black (SKU: CA-7BG-LL) = £85.99

1 x Antec HCG 850 Pro Platinum 850W ATX3.1 Full modular Power Supply (SKU: POW-ATC-02745) = £159.95

1 x Arctic Freezer 36 120m Black CPU Cooler - 2x 120mm (SKU: COO-ARC-02420) = £22.99

Total: £2,610.85 (includes delivery: £11.98)

Thats how much my last pc cost 6 year ago. Exactly £2500

A lot to decide.

Im just tempted to buy this

And add a 1TB WD Black SSD as second drive. 3 sold today. Just wish OCUK would say what make of card you get.

The demo one is much better value in my opinion, particularly if you make an offer. I think the DIY build I spec above would also be better value after OCUK add their build charge.

What about the fan on the pre built is all in one water cooler and looks like has 7 fans on case too. I want it quiet as possible too.

skipper847 · 31 Jan 2025 at 16:16

Tetras said:
I'm not sure what the demo includes, since that case has no fans by default, but I'd imagine if they used it as a demo, it had at least enough.

A 360mm AIO is overkill for a 7800X3D/9800X3D, the freezer 36 or peerless assassin handles them fine.

The case in the DIY build (Lian Li 216) has a good bundled fan config.

One question. what you mean by demo lol.

16gb VRAM is an issue as well if you’re planning to keep the card 6 years.

The only reason i didnt upgrade this pc is the price vs performance. Coming from a 2080ti to a 5080 is a big jump along with newer other parts etc and a clean up to date pc with better fans. It might be different with a 5080 and jump to a 6090 this time. I dont just want to buy a new card for this PC. If i do no in me something else will break and fans on back case sounds wobbly after all these years too.

Back in voodoo graphic card day i would upgrade all time but today dont seem worth it.

How about changing the SSD to a WD Black SN770 2TB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive (WDS200T3X0E)

And CPU to a

AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D Twelve Core 5.60GHz

£3,314.99

They must have added the graphic card choice recently thats good. What the card like on noise.

I got a Philips 27" 1440p Evina monitor and a M32U 4k monitor

skipper847 · Saturday at 11:44

My PC now is

CPU 3700x
Mobo x570 a pro
16GB ram 6000mhz
Zotac Amp extreme 2080ti
1TB wd black sn580 nvme I think thats the make i know its WD any way but pretty sure its that.

As said bought 6 years ago from here at £2500. Been happy with it until last 2 years or so and been waiting for these 5080 to come out and think the 5090 is a bit way too much.

skipper847 · Saturday at 15:38

The performance from a pre built to a custom built cant be that bad can it?. Is it mainly the cost.

How about upgrading the ram to this Kingston FURY Beast EXPO RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C36 6000MHz Dual Channel Kit which is in the selection.

I just want to press buy. But so scared mainly about the noise level while gaming and have cause performance from my 2080ti and CPU.

I will be buying this month if in stock Ive been waiting 2 years lol.. Also is the motherboard good?.

skipper847 · Sunday at 10:56

Sorry about the link length.

I changed

CPU to Stock AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Eight Core 5.20GHz (Socket AM5) Processor -

RAM Kingston FURY Beast EXPO 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C36 6000MHz Dual Channel Can up date when needed later on to 64GB.

And added a second drive WD Black SN770 500GB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive (WDS500G3X0E)

£3,318.98 (incl. VAT)

its a good over all spec, but still a lot of money for a budget case, AIO, fans and power supply

I thought AIO cooling was the thing these days?.

This is from tetras I just left out the card at the moment as looking to see what best but this comes up to £1,273.88p with out card. Anything else to upgrade to better quality like THE PSU, Case and fans?. Including card im prepared to pay up to £3,200 with OCUK building it. Less noise on the fans the better

Also ive liked Western digital for make of storage for some reason best but i expect that dont matter really.

you must know a lad that can put it together for you, i did one for a friend and charged him 4 beers..

Believe it or not i have no friends and its the way i like it. lol

OCUK did an excellent job of this pc i have now. Nice and tidy with cables too.

skipper847 · Sunday at 16:30

WARburton said:
the build is spot on. ever thing is good soldid brands with good warranty.
the only question would be the case? do you like it, get a case you like obviously

I dont mind what the case looks like as long as its good air flow and big enough and easy enough to reach components for future upgrades.

skipper847 · Sunday at 17:47

What about 1000Wat gold PSU. I always got told to make sure get gold plated psu.

skipper847 · Sunday at 17:52

WARburton said:
the linked Platinum is the next step up from gold.
this is what im saying, you have saved £900 and everything is better specked

ah thank you. Things must have changed hehe.

skipper847 · Monday at 09:26

What about upgrading psu to 1000 version

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ante...-full-modular-power-supply-pow-atc-02746.html for future up grades like the 6090.

skipper847 · Monday at 15:12

Tetras said:
If you're going for that one I'd just get the 1200, not much in it.

What about power usage and will over power etc been so high. Sorry if a dumb question.

skipper847 · Monday at 15:35

Also what about upgrade to this mobo?

Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite WIFI7 (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard
