Been a while since I upgraded my PC so decided to take advantage of the Black Friday deals coming up.

Spec will be as follows:

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £4,294.76 (includes shipping: £28.02)
​

Plus a 256gb Sabrent Rocket PCIe 3.0 for Windows and a 2TB Sabrent Rocket PCIe 3.0 for Games etc

Got myself a Secretlabs Titan 2020 chair and Ikea Karlby worktop to complete the setup
 
A few parts already purchased:

Crazy to see such an expensive build that doesn’t include a 2080ti.

also, I’m not 100% sure but is that screen not meant for Radeon cards exclusively?

insane mobo price what’s so good about it?

Yeah I went for the 2080 Super due to the new Nvidia cards due to come out earlyish 2020 which I will then buy to put into the system.

It has adaptive sync so can enable G-sync in Nvidia settings

I mean its the best of the best, No chipset fan due to the cooling on it, really it is super expensive and probably not needed but I fel in love with it when I saw it so thought what the hell. Can get it for around £650 (which is still expenisve I know) if you shop around.
 
The guy has spent £300 on fans and you question the motherboard price. Either way, it's his cash, spend it how he will. Some people spend this on a bottle of wine.

I never said he couldn’t spend his money how he wanted :)
Not just any old fans that’s some high grade rgb, so maybe it’s more for aesthetics than the air flow itself.
As for the mobo I am just generally curious as to what the money buys. It’s a big step up in price compared to my b450 carbon ac.
 
wow. going to be a beast!

@Carlosfootball honestly would get Master instead of Xtreme , as it means you can PUSH Gigabyte RTX 2080Ti! 2080ti over Xtreme anyday of the week !!!

xtreme will give same OC as Master , which is still a damn good board! FPS increase at 1440p ultra wide with 2080ti would be worth it!​

Cheers....but....but I just love the Xtreme so much...will see if I can stretch to the xtreme and 2080ti ;)

@orbitalwalsh While I got you here as you seem knowledgable, Would you go for a 2TB Sabrent Rocket for £249.99 or a 2TB WD Black SN750 for £299.99?

WB is actually faster - VERY Slightly ! not that you'd see the difference gaming. surprisingly 1TB Rocket is faster then its 2TB version along with WD!!! specially in Random 4k w/r !!

not sure how Warranty works with sabrent so only thing to watch out for.

see their 1tb NVMe 4.0 is £200! haha

honestly push master over xtreme if it means getting the 2080ti - frame rates will thank you ;) Xtreme is a damn lovely board though ! X299X line up now follows suit and z4** will too

Funny how its cheaper to buy 1x 1tb Rockets then 2tb drive.. food for thought...
