​

I read that I'm unlikely to see much difference between those corsair SSDs and a 970?

I'm not planning on overclocking internet so I think that memory should be fine. I also went for that GPU due to it's quietness.

better design board and rma being UK based

Whoops, I meant to click on the Gigabyte auros pro not the MSI pro.

need the wifi- get the Ultra for £30 more !!! also you get a £30 steam voucher with Aorus boards if you leave a review - link in mobo section

also see above about GPUs

Thanks for the case selection, didn't know that case was quieter, lol will probably change the GPU too. The dark rock pro noticeably quieter than the default prism?

Yes i'm not a fan of RGB, will look at that GPU

Can someone confirm the memory is fine before I buy, thanks.

Don't forget the AM4 bracket as that one doesn't include it. The one in my spec is the AM4 version but it is out of stock.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Noctua NM-AM4 Mounting Kit= £6.49

​

Thanks, I had no idea.

Do I need to buy any more power cables? I read the 2070 cards don't come with any, I'm assuming the PSU will have them?

The RAM, is 3000mhz enough, doesn't the 3000 series CPUs need 3200mhz+ ?

 

[mcast]

yes


ryzen 3000 base supported ram speed is 3200mhz ...so why get 3000mhz ram? get the faster ones

Someone recommended it here, can you recommend 2x16Gb in stock here as I just want one order.

Whatever you decide - i would definitely swap out the memory for the Crucial Ballistix Sport LT (AES in code) - it's a no brainer for an extra ~£10.

OCuk doesn't sell that, unless I'm missing something?

 

[mcast]

get it elsewhere? ocuk aren't the cheapest for most items

I see thanks, they're not the cheapest, but I just want to deal with one order in case of any issues. Tempted by the 2080 super, but I'm not an FPS gamer, just MMOs.

 

[mcast]

Monitor spec? I can't see it in thread?

2070 Super is the price/performance sweetspot.

I appreciate all the comments, pure fps/gaming isn't my only priority, quietness is just as important (I watch a lot of movies and youtube). I picked the 2070S as someone pointed out the large triple fans, thus it runs a little cooler and quieter. Reading around the noctua certainly seems the best and probably quietest? Saving £50-£100 to shop on a £2000 build that will last me 5 years isn't a huge deal.
