Pornhub can do that to you. Heal quick mate.

Thanks mate. I have to use both hands so this is a massive inconvenience.

Looking forward to trying the new keyboard out tonight. I will probably be equally as s**t but with more RGB effects

Rather than going down the route of compressed air cans what are you lot using to clean inside your pc? Thinking to just get this compucleaner thing looks decent but a bit pricey. There is a cheaper one too but this should make a shitty job easy.

Air compressor for air tools, can pick them up fairly cheap

Constantly upgrading and pissing about with it. Saves on the cleaning costs

Attach files button isn’t working for me on the forum, never mind.

PC all built and ready to be sent 👌🏻 Should be all setup for Wednesday night.

No need for a new nVidia 40x0 GPU or RDNA3 when you can have...

 

[Krarl]

I just love how they called it bitchin fast 3D 2000 😂

 

[Cookie]

Only 425 BungholioMarks though

That’s more than enough when the Frobisher & Gleason 3D Flavoured Ice Lolly barely musters up a quarter of that.

I reckon @Ant1 still has one in his PC toaster

I was expecting a tag at some point, surprised I had to wait so long 😂

PC has arrived 😎

You letting that spastic set it up???

 

[Ray Gin]

Absolutely not 😂

 

[Ray Gin]

So apparently there’s the big box containing the PC and another separate box containing a motherboard 🤔 unless they’re using the motherboard box to put the freebies in…

Edit: turns out they put all the spare cables and booklets in there.

Also, is it worth my while whacking in my own PSU? The one in the new PC is 750W vs my 850W. Both fully modular.

Does it actually have the motherboard in it? Usually they send all the boxes for the components they used in the build in case anything needs returning, or if you want to sell any of it

 

[Ray Gin]

Yeah all built mate. They just used that box to have all the space cables etc in the one place.

 

[N0ddie]

If you swap PSU then swap all the cables to. PSU cables are not all pinned the same so you could very easily destroy everything.

 

[Jonnio]

Also, is it worth my while whacking in my own PSU? The one in the new PC is 750W vs my 850W. Both fully modular.

Are they the same model/make other than the wattage? I got away with swapping to another that was effectively the same just higher wattage.

Heard that the wiring can be connected up to different pins though so you might have to fully swap everything.

 

[Ant1]

Leave it alone lad

 

[Ray Gin]

I’ll just leave it I cba 🤣 surprised a lot of the higher end PCs come with modest PSU though. Noticed that on a few builds online.

 

[Krarl]

Yeah leave it alone, you've got no clue 👀🤣

 

[Ray Gin]

Sooooo, finally been given the go ahead to sort PC.

Will I save much building it myself over a pre built system?

Is there a huge difference between a 3080ti/3090ti vs the price?

AMD processor VS Intel?

Any help greatly appreciated.

 

[N0ddie]

Nobody needs a 3090Ti for gaming.

Liam's spec is pretty much the best price/performance balance. (As in very good performance).

 

[N0ddie]

New AMD processors and GPUs and NVIDIA GPUs are due for release late Q3 early Q4 this year. It depends if you don't mind waiting or just buy the best you can get now.

Are you going all out and upgrading the monitor too? That’ll help decide what would be best to go for.

yes

 

[Adamm.]

Yep the scan pre built ones are pretty good there's a few different prices for 3080 or 3080ti setups. I got this one and I love it so far. Only thing I've done is upgrade all the case fans to pwm and added 2 140mm on front instead of the 1 120mm.

There is always something newer around the corner, I could wait but then I will be fighting for stock at inflated prices over rrp.

I could build a pc now and max out the 1080, buy a 4th gen card when released maybe.

 

[N0ddie]

1080s will be showing their age now.

I'd go 3080 or 3080Ti now. As for which CPU? AMD 58003DX (Or a 5900X if you can find one for the same price as the 58003DX) or Intel 12700K would be my choice.

 

[Ant1]

Been looking at these three for past few days.

local to me.

2nd one for me. The case in 1 and 3 cannot provide any decent cooling. Will be a proper hotbox.
