I do have a Corsair H00i AIO CPU cooler but no L1700 mounting kits, are these available?

one thing i see limiting is the speed of the RAM, there doesn't seem to be any faster 64GB kits, would 4 sticks of a faster RAM be better?

thanks again

I wouldn't worry about it.

You mean H100i? I believe so.

What's the maximum kind of GPU you're thinking of using? With the IGP, or something like a 3060 12GB or 4070 Ti, then I'd consider dropping down to the A850G.

thanks tetras, yes the H100i, its late and im tired... hee hee..

sticking with the IGP for now but maybe something along the lines of 3060 later on, is 1000W not enough?

A1000G is what I'd pick if you wanted a 4080 or 4090. For a 3060 I'd go with the A850G.

New cart, had to choose a few other things as the memory went out of stock and the original motherboard i chose.
what do you guys think, could i shave a few £££'s off by choosing something else and get similar performance?
