I don't have a price in mind but I'm looking to shift it I think as it's not getting any use!

Will drop you a PM mate....

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

£8000 here.

Anyone got a steam deck? Bought the oled one last night to kill some time when the kids are down / traveling. Looks a good bit of kit.

Is around now the best time to get a RX 9070XT. Seen the ASUS TUF at just under £700. And the other ones around £600 or more like the Prime and Pulse. Is it better to have DP over HDMI or it, or does it not matter, some have 3 DP and 1 HDMI that’s all and some have 3 HDMI and 1 DP

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!

Fans will go other way this was just a mock up

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

just got my Motherboard now and was startled that it wasn't in a box just in it's retail packaging. Should of said something to the driver or refused it. But i didn't, hopefully it will be ok when instaling

 

[charltjr]

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.

There's an option at checkout that's defaulted on, to label the mfr packaging to reduce waste

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.
