A few parts already purchased:

Got myself a nice darkwood hand crafted headset stand to compliment the setup

Mounted the new monitor to the wall to start with

 

[GilesGuthrie]

That's a nice rig you're building there. I like the look of that headphone stand - I'm in the market for one, since I need to stop chucking mine on the floor now I've mounted a TrackIR to the band.

Thanks.

I got my headphone stand from the website Etsy

Rest of the fans arrived! 10 of the beasts

£770 for a motherboard, am I missing something?

Epic build tho!

 

[koolpc]

More money than sense comes to mind. Or its a wind up!

 

[Sharon_W]

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

insane mobo price what’s so good about it?

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.

 

[Chris [BEANS]]

Nice work so far, I’ll keep an eye on this. Love it when someone gets to build whatever it is they’ve had in their mind for a while!

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...

 

[Seearbe]

They were selling the 2TB rocket for £187 a couple of weeks ago. Might be worth just holding fire until Friday on that one.

 

[scubes]

Nice build can’t wait to see it finished .

I have the Titan chair and absolutely love it. One of the best of my recent purchases, hope you enjoy!
