My soon to be new built! The wife's PC keeps playing up, and had intended to built a new PC for some time. Taking this opportunity of my enforced idleness to actually do it.
It's about time that I try out this new craze of all the bling of a glass case with RGB lighting. Case, PSU and cooling wise, I wanted to try out the GameMax range to see if there are any catches in the low prices, as they seem far cheaper than the usual suspects of Coolermaster, Corsair, Thermaltake, etc. In terms of graphics, the 2080 ti is way too expensive for not much more performance than the 2080 Super, so I settled for the latter. The 1 GB PCIe 4 M2 drive seems a steal at not much more than a comparable PCIe 3 drive. Any other suggestions on improving the specs for not much more money? I choose the 3900X over the 9900KF it seems a better CPU for about the same price, and I also wanted to benefit of a PCIe 4 drive on the X570 chipset.
