So the Rizen 7 CPUs look to be a bit of a bargain based on AMDs own benchmarks against Intels enthusiast CPUs. Definitely need to wait to see what the independent reviews say but surely Intel will have to bring their prices down?

Amd have left a bit late unfortunately, intel has pretty much become standard now so I imagine a lot of software is optimised for intel.

So I fancy a new case. The Corsair 740 Air is the one I want. Due to lack of availability when buying this 540 Air I currently have I ended up with this. However, it turns out that me buying a EATX motherboard has kinda screwed me. The 740 though being bigger than the 540 can only take ATX motherboards.

The options for EATX cases are pretty restrictive which is kinda gay.

I thought the standoffs for EATX and ATX were the same. Just the card was wider.

So I've taken a calculated risk and ordered the new Air 740 case. Will be here on Monday so will set it up as soon as I get it.

Thinking of moving my CPU radiator to the front on the intake side to see if temps are lower than exhaust on the top.

So the case came today and I have swapped everything over into it. Plenty of room for my bigger motherboard.

Managed to get the GPU installed in the 1st PCIE slot which I couldn't get in before. There is a plastic shroud over the sound components which was fouling the end of the GPU but managed to work around it.

I've ordered some nice colour combo cables which will be here tomorrow that I'll fit if I have time. Once fitted that's me finished fiddling with it (for the time being anyway lol).

I'll stick a pic up of the setup once it's done.

How much has RAM gone up in price? I got 16Gb for £113 in December. The same RAM is now £147.
Was gonna buy some to fill my spare 2 slots but thats put a dampener on that.

I don't know who here pointed me in the direction of LinusTechTips but f**k me it's amusing watching them f**king up expensive stuff.

Can't wait for that watercooled server to piss itself all over their petabyte storage array.

So the 1080Ti is official. Release date of 6th March and 35% faster than the 1080 it supersedes.

Hopefully not too expensive for us Brits.

I picked up this memory kit the other week, seemed a lot cheaper than their other 32Gb kits (unless there's something obvious about it I've missed ;) ).
Also glad I picked up my nvme drive at the same time as that's gone up £60 since!

It's going to be remortgage your house expensive and stock will still be impossible to get hold of for a month, because nvidia

Not quite as fancy as @Gareth but chuffed none the less with how it looks in its new case.

Moved the desk and PC up to the spare bedroom at the weekend so here's the whole thing in its new home:

Nice view getting to watch the sun set:

The rest of the room you can't see is the wee man's play room which isn't kept quite as tidy as my wee corner lol.

Those going for the 1080 Ti, which ones you going for? Founders edition or aftermarket?

Aftermarket for me - there are some better deals and performance figures to be found.

1080s going cheap are they?
nVidia, in light of AMD's recent announcements, have reduced the 1080 range by around 100 USD. But there may well be a few cheaper ones on the market as folks look to move up to the 1080 Ti... I will have a practically brand new 1080 Founders Edition for sale. It's been in my machine for only 2 months and it's a beast. I don't really need the 1080 Ti but my man maths and business justification allows it :)
