I work shifts :) even easier to stealth it in :)
 
Asus Crosshair VI Hero, Ryzen 1800x, Corsair H110i, G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB 2X8GB Dual Channel DDR4 3000MHz PC4-24000 non-ECC Unbuffered DIMMs, Corsair 600c inverted case, Zotac 1080 amp extreme, Corsair ax1200i PSU, Samsung 512Gb 960 Pro M2 NVME SSD and a partridge in a pear tree.
Kind of went to town and am now kind of in trouble with the spouse..........

Not sure what speed of RAM I needed so kinda guessed. The Ryzen boxes given away at the press event had 3200Mhz RAM in them but it'll probably do.
Now Have to wait for all the magic boxes to arrive. I feel like a kid on Christmas eve but the day is really long.............
 
1700. Air cooled, I'm not sure of the mother board yet with a new Vega GPU but I think i'm going to wait till after the release so i can see sine reviews and save up some money.

Silent loop pump is amazing and well silent. the fans they ship is just c%^&!!!! get some silent Wing 3's! personally for the price of this unit compared to the Eisbaer it should have shipped with them as default, stock fans will be loud! least with Kaby lake at 5Ghz, i know theres now details of how hot the Ryzen gets, but lets face it, your gonna be overclocking the nuts out of it!
 
Was getting carried away with the hype for a bit but I'm thinking this end is a bit rich for what I need.

The octa cores might be cheap for the performance vs a 6900K but it's still £320-£490 for just the cpu.

Also not hugely impressed by the mATX offerings out yet.

Give it a bit more, get some reviews, get a decent mATX and most likely fish out a hex core.

Only thing I'm wondering is whether to buy some DDR4 now since AM4 launch in general is likely to swallow up some supply of that.
