Replacement PC - Help Requested

[Fisherman]

Hi all,

I'm looking to replace my 8+ year old PC with something new.

I'm happy with my current mouse & keyboard, and will be purchasing a 4K 3840x2160 monitor separately.

I've up to £3,500 to spend for the other elements, though I don't need to spend it all !

I'd prefer an Intel CPU, in particular a i9-14900K, and would love a 4090, but will happily "settle" for a RX-7900-XTX.

It will mainly be used for web development ( .NET ), photo and video editing.

I've not been a games player since my current PC stopped running the latest games, and life happened, but would like to start up again now I have some more time on my hands.

To help me emulate the production environment, I'll be running a couple of VMs, so I think 64GB of memory is a must ?

Oh - and I'm a data junkie, so would like a 1TB NVME system drive, and a 2nd ( 4TB? ) NVME drive to store data on.

I'll be asking Overclockers for quote to put all the pieces together for me.

I expect many people will think my idea of a PC is well "over-speced" but it's a case of now or never


Thanks in advance.

Tetras,

Huge thanks for taking the time to put this list together for me.

I never even thought about a midi tower case! It doesn't need to be anything special as it'll just sit under the desk.

I never even thought about a midi tower case! It doesn't need to be anything special as it'll just sit under the desk.

It is described as a midi case, but it is pretty large (395mm for the graphics card), so should accommodate a 4090 with some room to spare.

If you wanted something larger where the radiator could fit in the roof, then I'd consider the P600S or Lian Li Lancool III.

 

[Fisherman]

I like the look of the P600S, and the

How many additional fans do you think I'd need in the Enthoo Pro ( it doesn't look like it comes with any ) ?

 

[Tetras]

( it doesn't look like it comes with any ) ?

Assuming it doesn't come with any and you're fitting the radiator in the roof, then I'd buy a 3 pack of 140mm for the front.

This should do it:

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Phanteks M25 140mm PWM Chassis Fan Triple Pack - Black (SKU: FG-036-PT) = £25.99

Total: £25.99 (includes delivery: £0.00)​
