Hi folks,
Upgrading finally from a 7 year old 4790k / 970 system which has served me really well but has started to be a bit flaky the last few months so I think it's time to push the button - there's only so long you can wait for the prices to drop!! I'm a bit out of the loop on what works so just hoping this is quite close.
Usage will be across the board from work / coding to gaming, blender / unity and some video editing. I went for the 3080ti as they are available and basically the same price as the non-ti at the moment it seems.
If you can you sense check the following and suggest any changes or if I missed anything or can improve / save anywhere I'd appreciate it. Want to make sure the m/b is ok and the cooler appropriate. I'm all sorted for peripherals.
My basket at Overclockers UK:
I need a case suggestion for this - it will be out of the way under the desk so no need for RGB or windows, but what I do need is to have a 5.25" slot for a DVD drive. My old BitFenix Ghost case is great but I'm a bit bothered about the size of new GPUs so I figure it's worth getting a new one. Not too expensive if possible.
The monitor is to replace an old Acer 32" which is a bit too big tbh and also has ghosting in games quite badly. I read in another thread that the MSI might be better for low-lighting usage than the LG.
I have storage from existing system but I was thinking of getting an m.2 at some point so please feel free to suggest something.
Thanks in advance!!
