Update, made my order on Monday afternoon, received the computer today! 4 day turn around. Looks a nice clean build. Impressed with the speed, they did say it could take up to 2 weeks. Thanks everyone for their support!

Hi All, Just put an order in for my new gaming rig. Custom build by OCUK! Can't wait! I think the next step is to get a decent keyboard and mouse. I started searching for gaming keyboards, but then I read a lot of people talking about mechanical keyboards. I can see on the OCUK website they...

Yeah I agree, although part of me was looking forward to the challenge. But as you said, it's less stressful if it's done by someone else who also offers warrantee etc..

I did a lot of research and nothing came close to the specs I wanted. There are other customer PC build sites, but these were more expensive and some didn't have the exact parts. I wouldn't have known that OCUK offered this if it wasn't suggested on the forum.

Thanks everyone, some good suggestions, I forgot I used play CIV plus have the board game, which is great, will need to try the latest! Thanks,

I've been out of gaming scene for.. 15 years.. I have my gaming rig on order, and I'm looking for some game suggestions. Probably worth me listing some of games I used to play: Half-life Quake 2/3 Enemy Territory WOW CS C&C/Red Alert Warcraft 3 I do like a good strategy game, Total War...

OCUK finally came back to me, couldn't control myself and I've tweak the specs a little (upwards!). I'm not sure how the cost is broken down but it works out to be 17% of the total component cost. This includes windows install, all drivers, stress test CPU/GPU, 3 years warrantee, ~7day turn...

Thanks again for the responses, Sounds like, I just need to go ahead with the build and cross the RGB bridge later, there will be a solution, it could be signal RGB or a combination of other software solutions.

Hi All, Thanks for all the replies! My motherboard is likely to be ASUS TUF B650 My Case is likely to be Phanteks Eclipse G360A. From all the comments it seems very unlikely that it can be all controlled by the case. There's a better chance by plugging everything into the motherboard and...

Hi All, I might be building my own rig soon, so I've been doing some research. One area that has changed since I used to build are RGB items and specifically how to control it all. The case I'm looking at comes with an RGB controller, and the case fans all plug into it. That control has...

Thanks for this, will take a look!

Yeah I will go for the LG 165hz monitor. Yeah I prefer the look and head good things on the Phanteks, I'll go for that. @tamzzy thanks for the breakdown, I'm certainly leaning towards building it myself, it will save the money and offset some of the extra costs/upgrades I've been adding the...

Thanks again @mickyflinn Still waiting for OCUK to get back to me, in the meantime have been researching on case, any thoughts on the follow: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cart/restore/2ba6c300edf1dcf2ab8fbdf1924233ff Seems highly recommended and only a slight increase in price Thanks

Brilliant, thanks again for all help and support, Hopefully one last question, on the monitor specified: 1 x iiyama 27" G-Master GB2745QSU-B1 2560x1140 IPS 100Hz 1ms FreeSync Gaming Monitor (SKU: MON-IIY-01741) = £189.94 Should I be aiming for 165hz? Will 100hx restrict FPS? Thanks again

I've submitted a ticket with OCUK and referenced this thread, so we'll see what they come back with. If they won't build it or the price is too high then I might go ahead and build it myself.. If that happens, I have a few questions :) Does anyone know if the CPU cooler comes with thermal...

Great, thank you! Case is good thanks, and I think I can stretch for the extra's. Thanks again for your help and everyone else's comments, Phil

Thanks mickyflinn, Do I specifically contact someone @overclockers to build this or will an option appear after adding everything to my basket? Since there's no wifi included, I just add a separate wifi card to the order and OCUK will install? Or I just do it myself? Regarding windows, I buy...

Thanks again for your quick response, had to google what the M2 slots are for, future space for SDD.. considering some games take up a lot of space, it would be silly for me to have 1 M.2 slot. On the B650 Aorus Elite AX, you said only PCI-E 4.0 graphics, if this is the downside, what should I...

just checking the OCUK custom gaming PC's and it has ASUS TUF GAMING B650-Plus as there baseline option.

Right, what sort of make and features should I looking for in a motherboard? Obviously needs to work for the CPU, but there's obviously something missing from those stated above. Can't be future growth only?
