Hi,

Think I'm getting closer to making final decision. Would like some more opinions though, this is what I'm looking at: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk...A40+'cdqG40+?cdqH40+vcdqI40+zcdqJ40+#cdqO40*1

But then phoning up to ask them to add this power supply unit: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-...s-gold-certified-fully-modular-ca-00j-ms.html

and also this cooling unit: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/arct...i9AIVHJBoCR3VdwunEAQYASABEgIoKfD_BwE#comments https://www.overclockers.co.uk/arct...i9AIVHJBoCR3VdwunEAQYASABEgIoKfD_BwE#comments

With this monitor: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lg-2...ible-widescreen-gaming-monitor-mo-169-lg.html

Getting a better psu is wise and the pc should handle gaming at 1440p well.

Nice monitor but if you game in a dark room ios panels can make blacks look washed out.

The artic aio is probablly has better performance but the build comes with a 240mm argb cooler that should be good for the 12600k.

I prefer to play with the lights on.

Solid .

Think i mite change the 2tb m2 to 2 x 1tb m2 to keep games on a seperate drive , the western digital sn 550 is excellent value but only pcie3.

Is that good or bad?

Can only see the WD SN550 in the secondary memory slot. What would I go with Primary? WD SN750? Both are 1TB.

The sn 550 is a slower drive but you wont notice the diffrence in real terns put what want in the primary sn 850 is the fastest.

Pcie4 drives are faster than pcie3 drives but unless your transfering data ftom one drive to another fast drive then generally theres no real benefit paying for speed . This may change in the future .
