What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.Gaming, video editing and photoshop, as well as Unreal Engine 5 development + 3D rendering using Blender and CAD softwareWhat is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes? Around £600 ish (not including CPU price)When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy. Planning on buying everything tomorrow.What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc) I specifically need advice on a tower with good airflow cooling and enough space for my GPU (it's ridiculously big) and a Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler. The NZXT H9 Flow is currently the one I'm looking at the most, but I'm also considering the HYTE Y60.I've also been experiencing power issues with my current rig (if I run games at max graphics and don't apply a heavy undervolt, my GPU driver crashes to blackscreen before my entire rig shuts down). My current rig is using an EVGA B2 850W PSU from 2017, I want to switch to ATX 3.0 and go for at least 1000W.Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location? UK. Amazon specifically.If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated. Keeping my OG Razer Blackwidow Chroma keyboard, Logitech G502 Pro X, RTX 4080, 4x16 Corsair Vengeance RAM @3200MHz, Intel i9 13900K (upgrading from an i7 13700K), triple 1080p monitor setup (one monitor runs at 144Hz, the other two run at 60Hz). Replacing the motherboard, PSU, CPU, CPU cooler (going for NH-D15) and case.Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU? I don't plan on overclocking in the near future, but I would like the option.Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)The motherboard I'm looking at (Gigabyte B760 Gaming X AX) has space for 3 M.2 drives I believe, so I'll likely need at least 2 of those. Currently I have 1 SSD and 2 HDDs.What type of network connectivity do you need? (Wired and/or WiFi) If WiFi is needed and you would like to find the fastest match for your wireless router, please list any specifics.I use a wired connection.Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?A case with good airflow, a fair price, and space for my massive GPU.Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?No.
