What's your spec and monitor? Looks sweet!

I just got one of those monitors. It is *outstanding*!

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who offered advice. The PC arrived on Thursday and it runs like a dream. Also picked up an LG UltraGear 27GL850-B when it was on sale at Currys and the two together are just superb. The Buyers Guide published on these forums saved me a lot of heartache...

Well as long he answers the door then we should be good. Heck it's been a long time coming :).

Literally 30 seconds before I snapped and clicked "Collect Order" in preparation for a 90 minute drive to Wakefield, the dispatch notification came through. Delivered tomorrow. When I'm at work :(. They better let my 14 year old son sign for it!

Well my PC went to "Awaiting Dispatch" at 11.30pm on Monday night and is still there. Was really hoping I'd hear today that it was on it's way but it seems to have spent a whole working day in the warehouse!

Mine went into Awaiting Dispatch at 23.30 last night. Am also wondering the same thing. I guess it boils down to whether the courier they use is next day delivery from the point of collection.

I had two updates where it got closer and then one where it slipped back a day. What a tease :).

Turns out that once the Collermaster 240 is fit there isn't actually *room* for the two extra fans anyways so I've had them removed from the order. Am now waiting for it to enter production and furiously researching monitors to make 1440 a reality. Have decided a 32" is probably too big for the...

Thanks. The Coolermaster 240 listed above does not seem to have triggered any OOS messages yet but I live in dread and fear! This baby needs to be ready for the release of Iron Harvest and the early access of Baldur's Gate 3 :).

I've been mulling over the advice received (fan issue in process of being sorted, so thanks!) and it occurs to me that if the rig *is* overspecced for 1080p gaming maybe what I should be doing is buying a 1440p monitor! Assuming the spec remains as above, would you say I'll get a decent...

Thanks folks. I suppose my only concern is that essentially this *is* a cheaper case, but if the concensus is remove the extra fans that sounds wise.

I suppose I'm looking for a degree of future-proofing. My last purchase back in 2009 (!) I made an error with an end of line motherboard and was stuck with the AMD Phenom III even though I was able to upgrade GPU and ram over time. I'm trying to build something that will see my 14 year old son...

Thanks for your reply! My intention with the PC is to provide a top range 1080p gaming experience that can be upgraded over time. Yes I know nVidia cards are usually better but I think in terms of the bang per buck ratio the Radeon is better than an nVidia card at the same cost. I suppose...

Hey folks. My last PC Specialist purchase was 11 years ago back in 2009 and it's finally time to retire the old warhorse. I have a spec I'm fairly happy with but I've read that these graphics cards run particularly hot. I wonder if someone who knows more about these things than I could comment...
