The PC will be connected via Ethernet so Wi-Fi not a major miss, would have gone for the MSI PRO Z690-A WIFI DDR4 had it been available.no wifi on the mobo...just checking you don't need it? is 500gb nvme big enough? the 1tb on offer too at £119, or the sn750 at £89 which is no slouch either. But yes, going to be a lovely system I think
Just noted that this board TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI D4 is priced at £280 but with a rebate of £70 very close to the Gigabyte Gaming X board I had chosen. Would this be a better option?
That's correct but if you want a pcie4 m2 gonna cost you another £30 not sure it's worth it.Thanks for pointing this out as I was not aware of the difference. Having looked at the link you provided it would appear that the performance of the 1TB version is much closer to the performance of the original than the smaller 250 & 500 MB SE options. Am I interpreting this correctly?
Is there another one you think would be better within £20 or so or stick with the SE?
The 2nd CPU power connector is only really for LN2 overclocking so should be just fine with the single lead connected.Back again for more advice to avoid a wrong selection.
I think I need to get a power supply as the unit from my son only has a single CPU cable and I believe the motherboard requires two. What would be a sensible option without breaking the bank?

Yup or the 850w option for £95..extra just gives you more scope for higher end gpu for future upgrade..esp as both have 10yrs warranty so should lastThanks for that Joxeon. Something else I was not aware of.
If I did decide to add a new power supply in place of the 2nd hand unit would this be a good option?
