Thanks bud - don't need the sata drives he has some, and need a 500 odd SSD.

He chose the case, apologies I should have listed this.. I'll fire back at him though and nets a large saving.

I had a 1070 for my 3440x1440 and it was fine, 1080 should last him a few years? Idea being the monitor should be good for a long time with the 100Hz / G-Sync

or just for the run of it 1700.....

​

to be honest, if he isnt going to stream or record then 1600

Will that ram be OK @ 3200 And the board be OK with 3.8Ghz odd? Or just run it at 3000Mhz and the Ti will be a much bigger improvement for the cost saving?

I think I can adjust with your feedback above and squeeze a Ti in perhaps if that's the case.

He's set on the case, appreciate the airflow is not optimal, I have the same one :D

Ram is out of stock, alternatives?

Thanks for this btw - with your help we have upgraded to the Ti for almost the same budget :D
 
Managed to get the 8pack Ram in to the spec, so should be good to go!

to be honest, would drop the ASUS prime x370 for b350 Gaming 3 or b350 Strix to be honest . main thing with x370 is ability to SLi- if going x370 route then get the best boards available

that AIO in the case, but not might be able to mount at top due to high profile ram. you can take the tops off though, 8-pack said it makes no difference to the rams heat

Too late :D

Ah, worse case will just mount it at the front of the case :)

We swapped to it to match the case..

swapped the board to match the case? worth checking the bios support and what 8-pack managed to get with his ram on that board .

main reasons Gaming 3 and Strix get recommend all the time or B350 and Taichi and Crosshair for the X370

***before calling check out 8-packs ram page to see what he got. or see mobo section of google for any Prime owners.
Asus Bios is one of the easiest to use to be fair

Will swap the board to the strix one, AIO was swapped to same brand as case.

if your set on colour scheme , do the Taichi Bundle pack- and ask for the 8-pack ram and OC it and ditch the Corsair AIO, it your after the 1700 then go for the Gaming 3 B350 to balance out the price

Will stick with changing the board - need to get some work done today at some stage :D
