Any plans to change the rear bumper? It looks great apart from that.

Hunts around for a standard car and immediately modifys it. Looks tidy and, unusually for a Vauxhall, not actually pink.

Nice, looks great!

This is why I upgraded my 6600k to a 6700k earlier this year. £50 upgrade which should see me get a few more years out of it.

@Phase1sr Had the latest issue of Custom PC come through today and it contains a 10 page pc building “masterclass”. Well worth a look seeing as you’ve not done it before.

This looks like a good day out, tempted.

Either that or a 1080 if you can get a good deal. He’ll definitely be happy with a 1070 though.

You going with the 1070/1070ti?

No way! ? Gutted for you, proper tidy car this.

I bet that was nerve wracking, mostly in case they scratched any of the bits underneath!

That’s very tidy. Result!

I had one of the original H80’s and the pump died after about 4 years. The new ones are much quieter and more efficient. As for only needing a 1060 - you’re right, but a 1070 means everything can be turned up to ultra and he can make the most of the 144hz refresh rate. That’s what I do. Also...

I remember trying to start up Forza when it first appeared on Windows 10. I had 8gb of RAM and it wouldn’t let me open the game, I had to set up a decent sized page file on the HDD to get it to run.

Just noticed the motherboard hasn’t got WiFi built in so that’s something to consider. I’ll blame the football, I was half watching it whilst doing the list ?

It’s got a better graphics card, cpu cooler and power supply. There’s also more than double the storage space. Like I said, you can still look through and change some bits for cheaper if needed. I also haven’t put a copy of Windows 10 on the list.

That’s an example of what you can get for your money. I would get a copy of Custom PC and having a look at what they recommend for different price ranges. Obviously nothing is definitive, but it’s a good guide on what’s worth buying. If you can’t find the magazine then drop me a pm.

Nice, I’d get a 1070 minimum for a graphics card tbh. That’s what I run with a similar monitor and it flys along in every game I’ve tried. I’ll have a proper look later and do a list if no one else has. You definitely get more for your money building it yourself.

What monitor did you get him in the end? It’s 1080p isn’t it?

All black with scars. Hard as.

He’ll be wanting the Corsair Void RGB headset to match now ?

Great pictures as usual. I think the cars helped a bit.

Lucky lad. I hope he has plenty of jobs to do round the house to help pay it off!

It’ll be fine for his school work. You get different models of key switches - blue, red, brown etc. Best to read up on which one he thinks will suit him best if he’s worried about that. If it’s just the mechanical element he wants then the one you linked will be great.

The new K70’s are ~£150 new. If he can make use of the extra keys on that one then it’ll be worth it. Make sure he has a good look at the mouse before choosing. Some game shops have gaming areas with them out to have a good look at now.

Have a look at these too. I’ve got a refurbed one myself and the only thing not like buying new was the price. https://www.scan.co.uk/shops/siteshop/1503

That’s going to look much better. Citroen got it spot on with those wheels.

Ph1 Saxos look so much better. Any plans to fit standard headlights or are you keeping the morettes?

Wow. It’ll be interesting to see if anyone actually pays that for it.
