To be honest I keep changing my mind and now worried I may be messing up?
Comments on this system please and does it need extra fans -The case can only be 22cm wide max
- Thread starter robkoj
- Start date
What is your current build? A H80 will not cool a 3900X, especially in that case
Hi again - I think I'm nearly there and would like to thank everyone for their very useful contributions, advice, knowledge and possibly most of all, patience - It really has been a great help. The posting below is the latest spec and if any one has any comments I would still be very interested. Sorry for the confusion I have caused but I'm still very much a beginner at this and find the myriad of combinations rather daunting. THANKS TO YOU ALL.

Why the change to the last gen AMD? 5800x is ideal for you. You have a massive budget tbh and following the advice of any of the builds from the seasoned posters here you wont go wrong.
Unless you want 4k gaming (which is sometimes challenging even on a 3080) the base it around a 5800x and 3070 imo.

Hi Please could you suggest a suitable case? Thanks

This is the build junior spec'd up for you, and youve then dropped down cpu and played silly beggars with it.... his build is still far better than what you are now proposing and probably cheaper, you're cutting off config links and price tags with the specs you are posting.
I would strongly recommend you stick to juniors build, and enchance from there if the budget allows, not go backwards with teh builds you are coming up with. Its a decent gaming build with extra juice to comfortably deal with video and photo editing on top and does it at a fair price. Youve then done stuff with storage etc which seems a bit pointless and gimped the cpu in the process.

To be fair, the fact Junior and MrWilson and now Spyder are all pointing at a practically identical build, bar the case, should tell you something.

Drop the arctic thermal paste, corsair coolers come with their own paste preapplied, its equal if not better quality so you are just wasting £9
The M.2...if you plan on having a separate OS drive and games on another drive, 1TB is overkill, a 250GB is enough for just OS (easily) and I would say 500GB is a suitable OS & main programs size.
Games would then go on a separate M.2 or regular SSD... if I remember you have a healthy budget, so a second M.2 isnt an issue with the Rog Strix 570X board (that would then be a 1TB Firecuda or something like that...).
You need to tell us a little more about what it is you are intending to do/what you want from the drive setup.
Is there a reason for Firewire? Do you actually use anything that would use it?
Can you go back to that specs to forum page and post the entire thing, with the config link thats right at the bottom. It makes this so much easier...

If the M.2 drive is only for windows (and as you've got other drives, I asume it is) it doesn't need to be 1TB, it's just a waste of money, you can make it a 250GB or a 500GB at the most.
I'd make your 1st storage drive SSD an M.2 SSD for way faster speeds (you can access this by Pressing Show additional storage options)
The cooler won't need that thermal paste, the corsair stuff is good enough.
We've added firewire which we didn't have before?

Should explain...theres very little difference between home and prof for win 10, its not like the old days when half the features were locked out in the home version
