    Ryzen 3300 or 3600?

    Little bit of context, its been 11 years since i built a PC, so yeah I was bit hasty re the fan. Indeed I did have to unscrew it and then screw it back on after MB was installed. The HAF i bought was about~£70 back then, and well, its the only case I can compare this one too. Build difference...

    Ryzen 3300 or 3600?

    Yep plugged all the cables into the PSU, then came to fitting it. Just had to wiggle and bend the cables enough to get the whole unit in. Oh and the SSD bracket on the inside of the case, also badly designed. The Sata power cables that come with PSU all have somewhat of a right angle between...

    Ryzen 3300 or 3600?

    Possibly, but they are kind of 'riveted' in place. I'd need to butcher it. I did so much research and reading up on the MB/CPU and memory. I totally neglected the case part. Lesson learnt. Anyways, its up an running temps are ok, in the mid to low 40's at idle.. Whilst playing Warzone CPU is...

    Ryzen 3300 or 3600?

    Likewise, its not bargain basement, but its really is poorly designed. The bottom are where the psu is supposed to go is half blocked off by HDD bays, so i had to shoehorn the PSU in, god knows whats happening to them cables. Ha;f way through I got so fed up I tried to transplant it into my CM...

    Ryzen 3300 or 3600?

    Everything has arrived - but i have to say the case is absolute trash. I cant place the MB because the back fan is blocking it from fitting. Missing some MB standoffs that screw to the case to hold the motherboard. Compared to my Cooler Master HAF - it looks positively flimsy.

    Ryzen 3300 or 3600?

    Luckily its the 6gb version, so it should be good for my Warzone stints for the foreseeable future. I'll see what the next gen GPU's bring in terms of performance vs price. I may just wait it out a little bit and pick up a 2080s/5700XT at lower price ~£200/300 maybe Cheers guys for your help n...

    Ryzen 3300 or 3600?

    So in the end i went for the below. I managed to get a Corsair 750x PSU elsewhere for £100. I think this should be good for a fair while(current PC is about 11 years old now :-). PSU should be good for the next gen GPU's too no? My basket at Overclockers UK: 1 x Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE (AMD...

    Ryzen 3300 or 3600?

    Final question .. both of the above mentioned boards will run a 3950x no problem right? That'll be the end goal.

    Ryzen 3300 or 3600?

    Need a bit of advice. I was set on getting a AMD TR system but the bank manager has allocated funds to other things :rolleyes:. So as things stand, I have £400(can stretch to £500) to spend on a base system. I have M/KB/Monitor/SSD and a 1060GPU. What i need is a CPU/MB/RAM/PSU combo to...

    Who's got the oldest CPU in main pc, how does it cope?

    Ditto - I'm also running a i7-920 from 2009(??). Still same PSU. Replaced the HDD with a SSD. Upgraded the GFX 3 times.

    3960X based Gaming/Workstation rig?

    No suggestion/input? Would have thought a potential 3960x build would get more interest.

    3960X based Gaming/Workstation rig?

    How does this look? I'll keep my GTX1060 6gb until new cards appear later this year(from what I can gather reading current threads here) and maybe can grab the current top cards for a bit cheaper. I'll also keep my SSD and HDD's for the time being. And as much as I hate the size of my case, I...

    3960X based Gaming/Workstation rig?

    Right guys, my current PC is from back in 2009(i7-920!!). A couple of gfx upgrades has kept it going, but really think it's time move on and start a new system from scratch. I want a gaming beast as well as workstation. i'd like to dual boot Windows and Linux. I'll be using it to run several...

    Spec Challenge! Who's up for it?

    Hey Guys, I've been asked to build someone a Gaming/(Part Time vid editing)PC. The kicker is he has only £600 to spend and will need a monitor. 4K gaming is out of the question, so it'll be 1080p, mostly older titles like CS-S/Quake Live.. and possibly some newer titles like Overwatch etc. Can...

    Upgrading 2009 spec PC - Ideas/Suggestions pls

    I'm not sure how it is configured, I think I did configure it using all three channels. Will check. Yeah this combo was quite popular if I remember correctly.

    Upgrading 2009 spec PC - Ideas/Suggestions pls

    thanks for responses guys. I have 32gb of ram already. Also i actually have the Asus P6T MB not the Gigabyte.. Will this support the newer cards that are coming out like the 1070? Not comfortable with overclocking, the PC fans/heat-sinks are always covered in/full of dust. Regularly need to...
