Me 5 :) I ended up with this, https://www.ebuyer.com/990072-xenta-mt-ryzen-7-pro-16gb-ram-240gb-ssd-no-os-desktop-xr-d5161 Seemed pretty good value for money. However, I sucked myself in to upgrades before I even powered it on. I really didn't like the case. So: New case - Thermaltake Versa H17 Another 32GB of faster RAM, which now means I have to decide if I want 32GB of fast or 48GB not so fast. A new cooler - meowski is right the stock cooler is rubbish. However as I have never built a PC before I haven't plucked up the courage to swap it over yet. I had a NVMe drive and a weird 3.5" dual SSD RAID thing so they got stuck in there as well - new case makes that very easy. So I think I spent a bit more than I planned. Still think it was good value though. Have just blagged a 32" widescreen monitor from work so that is going to get plugged in tomorrow. Now to sit back and let comrade meowski disect it :) -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dcglug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
