Ok just enjoy it then

Its a nice machine, as mentioned there are places you could have saved money and not dropped any performance (GPU, RAM) and that is one expensive case

Enjoy it!

Thanks yeah it was expensive kinda regret that one but it does look nice

Yeah kinda over spent on the case lol but oc prices lol, I wouldn't say it's entry level with a x3d CPU and a 5070 GPU but that's me what parts would you have changed for better performance

Since you clearly went for aesthetics heavily, I've thrown together a quick white build.

Hold in mind, the "white tax" is real, you'll often spend more (although not always) for good white components, and you could easily shave £200 off this and get on par performance with a more standard black build:

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D Eight Core 5.60GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: PRO-AMD-06938) = £399.95
• 1 x Crucial Pro 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 PC5-44800C36 6000MHz Dual Channel Kit - White (SKU: MEM-CRU-03115) = £319.99
• 1 x Phanteks AMP GH 850W ATX 3.1 PCIe 5.1 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply - White (SKU: POW-PHK-02520) = £104.95
• 1 x Thermalright Aqua Elite 360 White ARGB V3 All In One CPU Cooler (SKU: COO-TLR-03257) = £39.95
• 1 x PHANTEKS XT M3 Micro-ATX Case, includes 3x 120mm Fans - White (SKU: CAS-PHK-05736) = £56.90
• 1 x Sapphire Pure B850M WiFi (Socket AM5) DDR5 Micro-ATX Motherboard (SKU: MOT-SPR-05691) = £129.95
• 1 x KIOXIA EXCERIA BASIC 2TB SSD NVME M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 Solid State Drive (SKU: STO-KIO-07150) = £199.99
• 1 x Asus Radeon RX 9070 XT Prime OC White 16GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-ASU-06180) = £599.99

Total: £1,863.66 (includes delivery: £11.98)​

- The best gaming CPU on the market currently, frankly I'd save £40 and just get the 9800X3D as there's not much between them.
- A fully white/aesthetic heavy build.
- A faster GPU, matches the 5070ti blow for blow and has more VRAM than the 5070.
- A higher quality PSU that comes with white braided cables, feeds into that aesthetic lean.
- A gen 5 NvME that's 2TB.
- Despite the aforementioned aesthetics lean, it's still £600 cheaper and would be notably faster in almost every scenario.

I've no doubt if the regulars on here spent more than a quick 5-10 minutes they could put together a non-white on par build for £1600 or so that still looked pretty.

I'm not posting this specifically for your benefit, but I do hope anyone coming across the thread realises they can get a lot more for their money.
