You need to post in the Customer Services Forum - Pre-Sales Advice. Link to this thread once you've finalised your build and you'll get to discuss the finer details with them.

They do it all the time and the staff that run them are great - ones i've dealt with anyway (within customer services).
 
The best thing I have done with my pc in the past 5 years is go for a ultrawide monitor and 1440p. It has made my whole gaming experience more enjoyable.

With your game being total war and your preference being strategy games I think cou power is more important than gpu so definitely go for the 3700 ryzen atleast imo.
 
@xcom - there's still 32Gb of memory in that original spec and as mentioned previously for your needs 16Gb would suffice - this would save you another ~£80. That said memory is cheap at the moment and will be going up again from news speculation, but I felt it needed reiterating if you wanted to save more money to put towards your monitor (but if you're happy with 32Gb - not a problem).

Also, you have a windowed case - if this isn't a need (as you notably don't mention RGB or the need for complimenting components) you could swap out the case for the none windowed version which will aide relative silence even more as the panel will have additional sound proofing material:

Two examples of none bling memory - the Team Group having a ever so slightly tighter timings (irrelevant) but cheaper over the Corsair and the silent version of the Phanteks 600s:

@Chaze - did a quick search on your build, i can only assume costs must have gone up, as that's a very simple build (if you opted for similar build in opening post with no Windows install?)

@orbitalwalsh @Danny75 - have build costs shot up? As we're guestimating wrong looking at Chaze's build cost and his component choice and no Windows install required.

supply and demand ! ryzen launch equals more systems being built so prices shoot up for staff to build them

Use to be £50-80 for build - thats with basic cables etc - i know slightly higher specs with AIO could push £100 .

But there is also the 3 year warranty and collect included on there. to ship a PC back costs about £30-40 because of the weight and then you need to foam bag pack up the PC inside which does cost a bit too

@Plec with regards to build fee, I was just charged £118 for a very similar spec (AIO instead of air cooler).
Not happy tbh but not sure if I was robbed or this is now the norm.

AIO more of a pain to fit and 100% chance of leaking vs an air coolers zero :D

only eisbear 360 AIO can match performance of flagship £70 air cooler

Cheers Orbi, yeah covered it with @Danny75 - makes sense - just more expensive than i expected (rarely get feed back on build costs once specced).

I can't believe that came from your fingers (has someone-else taken over your account) - that's usually my mantra - have you turned to the 'light' side?

Also, you need to add, less points of failure and usually quieter (no chance of pump noise) - if you're going to adopt the the whole 'air cooling cult' route.

Yep, you don't buy anti virus software - i only use Windows Defender.

That's a lot of power supply.

No worries you compiled a tidy build - it will certainly power its way through your gaming genre.

Enjoy!

you def ordered the standard 2070 ?

CODE
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £1,800.06 (includes shipping: £11.10)
​

seems pricing has crept up. Gaming OC Super was £400 and windforce was £380 ! so not to much difference now with 2060 super and 2070 - though 2070 will still have a slight lead with cuda core count etc .

little bit more but 3600hz ram

No matter - it is what it is.

That said, you may have the option to change (won't have been built) - not hard for them to swap out, but would need to wait for stock/release (TBH, this is why i thought you had swapped it out from my spec list).

As for 3600MHz over 3200MHz - minimal gains for cost - given money better off put towards that much needed monitor. And while @orbitalwalsh is lurking it would be wise to pick his thoughts over a decent 27" 144Hz gaming monitor (Max budget needed).

depends on the game .

if every one keeps going on about next gen console moving forward PC Gaming on multiple cores then we should see effects of BFV - but have feeling half of them will be poor ports as usual lol

Only had a token look - via phone so killed my eyes...

Will be interesting to see how this pans out over time with more games utilising more cores - as i only recognise the first two games (too busy at mo to look into them). But fear the dreaded port nerfing too.. :/

Odd results looking at 4000MHz output on BFV (outlier?) - and would be preferable to have parity on CL timings between frequencies for further comparison.
