I'm planning on adding a RX6800 when stock starts to pick up later this year. In the meantime I will just drop my current GTX980 in to keep me going

I would go for a 850W PSU and a Seagate Exos . That is just my personal preference, though, and it would also be significantly more expensive. To be honest, I don't see anything wrong with that build.

 

[bigdunc]

Yeah I did wonder whether to go for an 850W PSU so I will

 

[Joxeon]

Get a another larger SSD for games.

 

[bigdunc]

Get a another larger SSD for games.

Any particular one? Am I better with NVMe or SATA?

 

[Matt_West_Mids]

Crucial MX500 would be a good option.

 

[mickyflinn]

You can 32gb of 3600mhz for £150 and the fractaul design s is £83.

[IICIIEII]

Yep, an extra other SSD seems like a great idea. Another option, besides the Crucial, would be a 500Gb Western Digital Blue, they are around 50 pounds . If you go for 1Tb it is still less than 90 pounds.

You could change the motherboard ▷ Asus ROG Strix B550-E Gaming (AMD AM4) B550 A… | OcUK (overclockers.co.uk)
You could change the SSD and double the storage ▷ WD Black 1TB SN750 M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen3 S… | OcUK (overclockers.co.uk)

The HDD is a slow version 5400 rather than 7200, the money saved from the changes above will allow for a faster 7200 version or change it for another of the SSD above

What is the system being used for ?

 

[Joxeon]

Any particular one? Am I better with NVMe or SATA?

I'd go for an nvme with direct storage soon to be a thing, a gen 3.0 should be fine though and best for price to performance

 

[lee32uk]

Assuming you are just gaming I would do something like this.

The 3 extra fans would be for the front, and then the pre-installed front can go in the roof.

Drop to B550 or change brand.
Asus has the worst X570 chipset coolers straight from anus of brand hype marketroids:

Actual heatsink under marketing excrements in small.
And pretty much relies on constant airflow from constantly running fan. (constricted by more marketing BS)
With whole crud in the worst place directly under graphics cards to be bathed in its heat.​

Put high end card on top of it and in longer gaming sessions chipset temperature or fan speed go up lot.
And should be easy to guess what happens if/when fan wears out.

Gigabyte and MSI have proper size heatsinks farther from heat of graphics cards and capable to staying mostly passive with good case cooling.

Heavily brand and Ridiculously Grossly Bloated overpriced memory.
This is more proper price for standard latency RGB kit:
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/king...00c18-3600mhz-dual-channel-kit-my-29b-ks.html
And this one would have quite good latencies still for £70 less:
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/king...l-channel-kit-hx436c17pb3k2-32-my-291-ks.html
Actually even that £130 Patriot has tighter latencies.


Zero sense to waste limited M.2 slots for tiny capacity (for budget) drive, which would start filling after couple big games.
Besides of no benefit PCIe v4 hype extra having also Samsung's further brand buttrape overprice.
Even this would be very salty price for half TB with good for gaming PC 1TB drive available for the same price:
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/seag...solid-state-drive-zp500gm3a002-hd-3bv-se.html
And Samsung's price gets 1TB full speed PCIe v3 drive, if wanting extra speed potential for future games.
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/seag...state-drive-rv.1-zp1000cm3a001-hd-3c0-se.html
That extra capacity to actually hold games is far more usefull than Samsung's brand sticker or PCIe v4 hype.

Alpenfohn Brocken 3 is beefier cooler for lot less.
