I'd go for it as I have a feeling those 3060tis will sell out quite quick.

Obviously you can save quite a bit on windows by installing yourself and picking up a cheap key for a tenner. You can also save on the board by going with the Pro carbon which is the next tier board up to the gaming edge but its on offer right now so works out cheaper also a B-grade 5600X will save you a bit and you can also make an offer for this in CS to try get it even cheaper.

Keep an eye out for 3080FEs dropping today or tomorrow as some just dropped in Germany so the uk usually follows shortly after. Install Telegram and join channel FE part alert.
Yeah the 3060ti is a good card which sits between a 2080 super and 3070 / 2080ti so you should be well above 60fps in the majority of games aside from the odd few like cyberpunk as you say which is heavy on any of the latest GPUs even troubles a 3090 at 4K.
Will be night and day coming from a GTX 670.
For a tenner less you can get a fantastic airflow case in white with all the rgb you would want to throw at it.

- 1 x Lian-Li Lancool II Mesh RGB Midi-Tower Case - White= £96.95

Also saves you another tenner on buying another nzxt fan!!
Also white things

You will only need:
1 eps cable,
1*24 pin psu cable,
2 or 3 8 pin pci-e (depends upon the gpu)
and maybe a sata cable if your using any and they are going to be onshow.
In all honesty though the white rm850 has all white cables (https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/Categ...its-Advanced/RMx-Series-White/p/CP-9020188-UK). Buying the cable bundle for the black rm850 costs a fiver more and means you have to hide more cable lenth around the back of the case.
As you have said you dont like mesh fronts then also look at this

Just replace the corsai fans with the above lian-li white set (or 2) and dont get caught up in all the corsair proprietry conectors. control module and bloatware software rubbish.
Got any tips on getting better value for money below (cheaper)? I think if I shop about, I can get the tower to be £918 (everything other than monitor).
If I went full cost saving mode and dropped to H510 and used the 3600 instead, I can get it down to £765. That's still including an £89 copy of windows 10 though.
- 3600 instead of 5600x would save £73 - Is that worth the price drop. Would it affect performance at all?
- The case isn't the cheapest but I really like the look of it, particularly with RGB/LED fans. Might be worth reconsidering the case (do you know of any decent white ones that are similar other than H510 which is an option). Air flow isn't supposed to be the best in NZXT cases either?
- Bit of a waste of money I guess but I'd prefer white cables (could add £25 which kind of defeats the object of value for money)
- I'd eventually want all RGB/LED fans but I've already tried to cut costs there.
- I know I can get windows cheaper elsewhere. Is it risky to do and is it easy to install? That could save approx £60.
- Reason I've picked this B550 motherboard is because of the built in wifi and it seems to have good reviews. Is it easy to update the bios for 5000 series? Would it need it if I ended up with the 3600?

Pointless paying the 'white tax' on the ram as its on a black motherboard and the rgb will cover the fact its white unless your running hte rgb in white all the time.

Always upgrade the cooler to this if your after more white. The ECO's big brother.

You will never see the the PSU in most modern cases and 850watt is probably twice what you need.
This in white is a good deal. Three years warranty too.

Freezer 34 is level lighter duty cooler.I really like that cooler but it's a bit pricey. I'm sure I saw an arctic freezer sport 34 duo in white. Think it was around £35
That's extremely horribly overpriced.
