Hi Guys

It's been a long while since I upgraded my pc, but I've finally managed to bag a FE 3080ti so was holding off until I got a new gfx card.

I'm looking to upgrade my base pc as I'm running a i5 6600k, 16 gig of ram and a gtx 980 ti.

I've got all the bits I need mouse keyboard monitor etc just need the base unit.

Any help would be great, I'm so out of touch with hardware now that I really have no idea, not against going for a prebuilt to just slot in my 3080ti when it arrives instead of building it myself.

Thanks in advance
 
Hey micky

Wifi on mobo if possible just for future but not essential 12600k is probably the one I will go for and pair it with ddr4. I know I probably need a 850w psu something like the corsair 850x. Looking for a minimal case not fussed about rgb just maybe a slick looking case thats not too big.

the only aio's that come with 1700 fittings in the box that OCUK sell are the Corsair Hydro series elite LCD ones(sent email to OCUK asking about it)...did have that link in another post..such as Artic, if you ring will send you conversion fittings for free etc...been trying to find it.
All z690 asus boards though come predrilled so can fit socket 1200 fittings too
Remember with the Prime board you get a £45 rebate from asus if you buy with the 12600k...promotion ends 19th

The prime boards are their budget boards, and seeing as you have a 3080ti, which is hardly budget, I'd prob go up a notch to the ASus tuf gaming wifi @£280...you get a £60 rebate with that one...or MSI Z690 Tomahawk...basically solid mid range boards ...the tuf can take 4 nvme gen4 though, tomahawk 3xgen4, 1xgen3

AS bit subjective though. @Oggy do you want a white case/black... you said not too big? 3080ti must pump out a fair amount of heat...4000D airflow is stylish also...seen white one for £62 on offer, OCuk had black one for £89..or 011d mini air

Sounds good re the motherboard I usually keep my builds for a long time so don't mind spending the extra for it to be worth it. Not sure if I'm going to be able to buy it before 19th as I need to spec it all up plus I would like overclockers to build it before they send it just so I can pop the gfx card in and install windows.

Not fussed on colour to be honest I guess black is better as I've got the FE version so for it to all match as such, this does look sexy tho https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lian...idi-tower-tempered-glass-white-ca-78z-ll.html I'm not short of space just don't want a monster as it's in the living room.

Budget I don't really want to go over 1k for the rest as I have sunk a lot into the ti, would have got a 3080 if possible but I'll be honest I just took what dropped on that day. Not going to complain 1k for a 3080ti these days is considered cheap (crazy)
 
 
So this is what I'm thinking. If I get OC to build it and when it gets here I can just install the gfx card and install windows.

Thoughts? Thanks for the help guys

Rather annoyed now, received everything this morning which is great, double checked before ordering if the bracket for the aio came included was told yep not a problem. Go to set it up and woo no bracket included now going to have to wait until after xmas
 
Yep nothing there, have spoken to them on the phone but now wont get the bracket until the 29th...

Wanted to go pick it up but they can't guarantee it will be ready for pickup today zzzz
