Hello!
So I've used this site for many years for parts and full builds for myself, family and friends.
MY own personal rig has been up and down for a long time (motherboard/RAM/CPU issues - which I've even sent to Overclockers before and together we couldn't figure out what was wrong)
In short though, because of some of these parts (regardless of testing new bits the problems occur) I've just thought damn it, let's just fully replace all the parts as I've had this build minus the GPU for many many many years and I can pass on individual parts I replace)
I'm hoping to reuse as much as I can of my old parts however e.g. - I've got Windows 10 on a SSD and a harddrive for storage so should just be able to plug those in and go, I have GPU, I have PSU, I have monitor/peripherals, Blue ray drive and case (although more on that later)
- Currently using 5960X CPU with a 99X pro Asus Motherboard with a 240mm? Kraken CPU cooler, 32GB of Ballistic RAM all within a Phantek Enthoo Primo Special case(https://phanteks.com/Enthoo-Primo-SE.html)
Out of these, it seems I'll be needing to replace all of these, minus perhaps the case - (although I think only certain Motherboards can fit this?)
Although currently using Intel CPU, I don't mind swapping to AMD CPU with regards to all prices still going mental, also I would *prefer* to use another Asus Motherboard (just because I'm so used to them over the years) if possible, but again open minded ^_^
I can put together the parts so no need for a prebuilt/made in store custom build.
Some of the bundles for cpu/cooler/motherboard seem a good idea (especially since nearly all of these can be put on finance over the year) and usually parts can be swapped/changed if you DM a staff member as I've done many times before.
And the last two points, my hard limit on price is £2000 and most of the work I do is multiple 4K Video Editing and also gaming/streaming.
Hoping for some help on bundles and parts all <3
I did have a look around and found this - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/8pac...-5950x-pbo2-overclocked-bundle-bu-01l-8p.html was tempting to just do that but upgrade the RAM amount, but then was unsure if it'd actually fit in my case, (one thing on this I wasn't sure about)?
