Evening All,

At the Start of lockdown last year i decided with saving money from working at home I'd get myself a "Cheap and Basic" gaming rig back up and running.

Well the info in the signature is outdate but will be updated upon completion of the build :)

So without further delay what do you think of my component List?

Base Unit
MB: MSI X570 Tomahawk Wi-Fi
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x
RAM: 32GB G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4 3600MH (4x8GB)

Not All bought from OCUK and some prices are higher than what i paid, but lets say about x3.5 budget :) (GPU wasnt one in the basket or price but the inflated price pretty much cover the cost of my desk so) and once i order custom cables it will pretty much be around that total spend ... oops

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £3,485.53 (includes shipping: £0.00)​

Love the case! What made you choose the GALAHAD? I’m looking for an AIO cooler for the quiet factor but can’t choose between them all lol

I was sick of Corsair, they seem to want to be like apple, if it aint all corsair the functionality isnt the best to integrate, (control of fans/rgb etc) And the Galahad had good reviews and its more of an industrial look at fits the overall build theme and matchs well with Mobo/GPU

The Galahad on a whim ive connected the abgb header to the UniFan control box and it controls the argb :) so win win situation
