HI CL Team

This could be my 3rd PC build with you guys, that means you're awesome!

I've called it a 4k build because I intend to run an HDMI cable to a 4k tv for gaming with a controller, but have added a monitor because 1) I will need one and 2) I stil intend to play FPS games with mouse and keyboard so may as well get 144hz and gsync

I'm looking at the below system, let me know if its doable, add your reccomendations and also give me a quote (you can email or private message me) - hopefully I can get a good deal as a repeat customer :)

here is what I've thrown together



Question from me

* The box will connect to my router using wifi, does this motherboard have a wifi reciever built in or do I need to add one?

* For the quote, please include in the price the building and testing of the box, loading of the Windows 10 and also please pre overclock the CPU to a reasonable number (somewhere around 4.7-5ghz on all cores)

* I'm unsure about the RAM, I want 32GB as I intend for this to be a future proof build where I can just change out the graphics card for a newer model in the future - but the frequency I'm unsure about - I've heard 3200mhz is a sweet spot, feel free to swap out the ones I added for some 3200mhz set if you can get it running at 3200mhz during the overclocking setup

* Unsure about the PSU as well, just want something thats enough to power the system with the overclocked cpu and memory

* Unsure about storage, the last build you guys did had a 512gb sata SSD and it was plenty fast, but now there are a bunch of other SSD types, it looks like a lot of people use NVMe SSD's as well but they cost a bit more, I can see the read/write speeds are better but more or less for the same money I can get a 1TB SATA SSD or a 512GB NMVe SSD, is the NVMe worth it just for games or is it better to double up the space?

* Lastly, unsure about the CPU cooling - I've put in the H115i as I've never tried water cooling before, my last build from you guys had a Noctua NHD15, however while it cooled well and was quite it was also an eyesore, its big, heavy and ugly but maybe I don't need such a big aircooler. Just need something to keep temps in check while not making too much noise, what do you reccomend?

Thanks, looks like its going to go over budget so will need to cutback a little


1) Please change out the 3200mhz memory for standard 2400mhz DDR4 kit (still 32GB thanks)

2) Please swap out the monitor for this one instead: http://www.computerloung...entview.asp?partid=25888

3) Please add in CPU overclocking

For the cpu cooler, is the pump + fan noise of the H115i much louder than the NH-D15?

Hey Thomas,

Cheers bud - I've sent you a PM, if you can please check and reply

Thanks

Hi Thomas,

After doing some research I think it will be better to use a router as the wireless access point as range extender/repeaters appear to have some drawbacks such as reducing the wireless speed throughput

http://www.computerloung...entview.asp?partid=22336

have you had good feedback with this model?

If its a good model, then please swap out the range extender for that - I'm happy to pay the price difference

Once that's all good I'll put the order through thanks

If I put the order through today, whats our ETA on pickup?

Thanks



EDIT: Oh, one other request - when you're doing the building - please remove (but keep for me) the hard-drive cages, this is to improve airflow from the dual 140mm intake fans. Please also keep the packaging from the components etc thanks

HI Thomas,

Yep that looks good - lets do the order

Estimated ETA to pickup?

Cheers

Thanks Thomas, all done - looking forward to this beast :)
