A quick marketplace look would suggest a price around £1800 to £2000. There are a few up here that are asking £2000 but second hand prices in Scotland are always a good bit higher than Englandshire.
Supply and demand I suppose.

Thanks, I’ve had a look around at some on marketplace and I think mine’s higher spec than most, in terms of components like PSU, case, cooler etc so I’m thinking around £2k

Get the cheaper one. I prefer DP, then just have a HDMI for a TV if you want.

My current setup. The case is a Fractal mood without the cover because it turns it in to an oven, I want to modify the internals so everything is more spaced out and remove most of the metal on the sides of the cover to create windows under the mesh. Currently Im building a workstation pc with a fractal terra and seeing if I could use a standard layout, It'll work for a single slot gpu which Ill be using but would be good to have the space for dual for whatever reason!

just placed an order on the Asus Prime it was going for £638 but i then cancelled it, as i don't think i'll get the pc built within the next month, i didn't want to take the chance if there was going to be any issues with it, or if i don't get to use it after that 1 month i wont get a refund. So I'll place the order as the last item within the 1 month of building.

EDIT. I've bit the bullet and ordered it, RX 9070 XT Asus Prime while it was a good price and looked at the returns procedure and i'm happy now. I'm sure they won't be an issue when coming to fitting it. And it's the make and model to go for too for what i need.
Just need the Motherboard, Cooler and Power Supply now. Now looking at the B850 Asus Gaming Plus now and the Asus TUF 750w Fully Modular one and the Thermalright Peerless Assasin 120

It’ll be fine, as long as the box wasn’t crushed etc. Very common these days for things to be shipped like that.

cheers for the response, the box isn't damaged by the looks of it. I went on Amazon before and made a comment about it. I had a quick look at the board while still in it's wrapper and couldn't see anything out of the ordinary like bent pins and there's some cables and the paperwork is still inside. I was just wondering if the shock / vibrations of the shipping would of shoock something loose on the board other than the pins that was all. With it being what it is i thought it would of been triple layered in wrapping
I got my final components arriving tomorrow, Power Supply and CPU Cooler, once the arrive i got everything now, just need someone to help me build it.

I totally get the concern, but it’ll be fine. These days Amazon put sod all packaging around stuff anyway so it would just have been a box in another box, next to zero extra shock protection.

I'm just starting to put some files for the Motherbaord onto a USB file. From YouTube all i need is the LAN and the BIOS files? Is this correct, i did however transfer the Chipset and Audio Too but there's a few more files, I'm just wondering does the new pc auto find these for me and update itself ?

I’m panicking now a bit now and away for a bit so can’t really look properly, I’m not 100% now if I’ve ordered the correct ones for my AMD system, could someone tell me please if these do in fact fit AMD as it says in the description XMP iQue for intel , is my memory compatible for intel and amd??

Go to your motherboard's support page. There you'll see a list of compatible RAM.

My main concern is the XMP / EXPO, the mhz and speed and is fine just not sure if mine is compatible for both or just XMP. Thanks
Will it show on the support page on there about that too?
It’s the B850 ASUS TUF Plus

Intel XMP is just a proprietary overclocking/memory timing thing. It doesn’t mean the RAM is intel only or won’t work without XMP.

just got my deleiver of Amazon for the RAM Memory, the envelope had previously been opened , the label was pressing it down so i didn't know when it was handed over to me. Looked inside and it's not the RAM , I'm pissed, i've tried to look on Amazon for customer services telephone number, i've tried 2 but it gets you to recieve a text and I'm back to square one. I need a direct number to i can explain to someone there what's happened. Does anyone have a number by any chance?

For peace of mind I try to order everything from one site (Scan). Can always call someone straight away if something's not right.

Aye cheers, I’ll take a look Scan. Never looked on their site before. I’ve got the new RAM today and got refund. All sorted now.

Scan are good.
I remember going to the shop around 2004/2005 and the owner had a blue R34 V-Spec II 😍

Yeah I popped on their site, had a brows. Their site is pretty well layer out, not bad prices, not far off Amazon prices. It would be awesome if could go to a place like that and have staff on site to help you build a pc. Is there any company’s in the North East that offer that?

Scan will do exactly that, but you’ve got to get the parts from them.
I’d imagine most independent PC shops would be happy to take you through a build, but I suspect the problem you’ll have is not having bought the parts from them - who’s liable if something doesn’t work etc.
Building a PC is honestly a piece of piss though. Just go slow and don’t be afraid to take stuff out again if it’s not going right.

Unless you want a cutting edge GPU, then they take your money instantly and fob you off for 3 months! 😂

Didnt OCUK take peoples GPU money for longer during the 30 series debacle? They are both as bad as one another. Too many folk suck right up to that Gibbo c**t on the OCUK forums. Its vomit inducing.

No idea, fella - but it wouldn't surprise me. To be fair, the 5090 issue I had with Scan was the first problematic transaction I've had with them, and I've been a customer since they started many moons ago. Never had a problem with OCUK either, but I've bought less items through them. I've seen Gibbo mentioned and he's replied to a couple of my car threads, but I have to admit I don't know much about him!
