This is what I've specced up to move on from 6700k system. Can't decide if it's a bit rich for me or not. I could save here and there with different bits but basically this is same equivalent components I bought back in 2016 minus a 1070 yet it's £1000 more. Would certainly last me 6 more years plus potential for CPU and RAM upgrades down the line.

It's expensive, but it is the best.

Plus about £300 for a good 32GB DDR5 kit.

DDR5 really is the biggest stupidity tax in gaming today.

Is delivery tomorrow still likely for an order placed in the next 30 mins?

Should be. @Gibbo

Could probably save on the motherboard. The MSI at around 360 looks good !

 

[Gibbo]

Should be yes but don't shoot me if they don't manage it.

I'll wait to see what the B650 offerings are like. Also, nearly £1k for a motherboard???

I'm planning to upgrade from my 5820K/RX 590 set up. The 7 7700X could be the ideal CPU for me. But it might be a year until I can pull the plug (baby arriving in Jan and moving house around Christmas). I will do my best to save until I know I have enough for what I want. And damn the pound for being so low!

I really wanted to do a build around the Gene but that pricing is madness (not your fault OCUK I understand that).

It doesn’t even have an integrated i/o shield for £360.

 

[skullkid]

Been a long time since I built a PC... ! Didn't even know integrated IO shields were a thing. I'm quite happy with my cheap, finger slicer cut out IO shields haha

It doesn’t even have an integrated i/o shield for £360.

Ended up making a second order for mobo.. thats shipped... hope my earlier cpu and cooler ships as well... that order has not moved yet made at 14.15 :/

I ordered a 7950X and motherboard in separate orders (9min apart). My motherboard shipped about an hour ago, so I'd imagine they will ship the CPUs very soon

If that was your most recent system then you're gonna need some DDR5 ram since I can't see it in your list. Unless you're acquiring it elsewhere

This is true, I did have some chosen (32GB 6000MHz Corsair Kit). Holding off for now anyway. Birthday season in my household but not mine!

Mine just shipped

 

[LtMatt]

I hope to order mine soon, hopefully from OcuK if they still have stock.

@LtMatt Did you already have DDR5 memory? I thought AM5 was DDR5 only?

 

[jrayb]

Was looking at the same cpu and motherboard but the DDR5 takes it well over 2000 grand, I have decided to wait it out for a while, especially with the new graphics cards on the way...

 

[LtMatt]

@LtMatt Did you already have DDR5 memory? I thought AM5 was DDR5 only?

Yes I ordered some AMD EXPO memory, 6000 C30 Gskill. Unfortunately no where in the UK had stock at the time of ordering (last weekend).

 

[SquirrelMadness]

That Asus motherboard only has 6 SATA slots... how many M.2 slots does it have? Can only see 1 in the review video.

How do you guys deal with low amount of SATA slots? My Asus Rampage V has 12-14 SATA slots (can't remember) and 1 M.2... for someone that has separate hard drives for games/music VSTs all these new mobos seem limited.
