Skylake Ocuk Build - Check before order

[kai]

Please can someone do a quick check prior to me ordering’ if there is anything you would change or recommend?

I was going to place an order for the following today.

Skylake Z170 Midi Tower Gaming PC Configurator Spec

The NZXT Source 340 Midi-Tower Case - Blue Window case is out of stock, but I am not sure if I could ring OcUK and order a different case that does not feature in the option set like a beQuiet?

I am currently running a Argon Extreme Intel Core i3 550 3.20GHz @ 4.40GHz, so I am in a desperate need of an upgrade as the system is near enough 5 years old.

The PC is used for general day to day tasks, web browsing but nothing too strenuous while in the evening I use for league of legends, but would like it run the latest releases if need be.

It looks pretty good. The only suggestions I'd make are to consider going pure SSD - just transfer the HDD from your old box - and go for 16 GB RAM now.

Do speak to OCUK about the case - they're most helpful and cases can be very much a matter of personal taste.

Thank you for prompt response, unfortunately the configure options only present 8 GB RAM options. Only thing I can do is upgrade to something like: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C14 2400MHz

Thank you. I have just seen the 16 GB options added. Would it best to call reference the case (NZXT are out of stock)

what case would you like? I'm happy to add it, subject to a few compatibility checks.

Would like a case without a window, and is quiet as pc runs 24/7.

i.e. Silent Base 600 Midi Tower Case - Orange

OK that should be added to the options on the next upload

Quick question: How long do custom builds usually take to arrive? (Order placed - 6th Jan )

 

[ScottiB]

Without any stock delays, 5-7 working days typically.

If there were stock delays then you should have been notified by email. If you'd like, give me your order number and I'll check.
