And what is up with Graphics card prices these days, must be a severe shortage, even the crappy low end last gen cards are being offered at almost double RRP.

all in about £2.5k

GPU just have a mass shortage due to; miners, COVID stopping production, lockdown people deciding to build gaming rigs, new tech making upgrades meaningful...

Its Built

So finally got the PC built, configured & up & running.

Still using my old GPU, will replace it sometime this year when suppliers have settled.

But on the games I play I am getting +40 FPS, so Halo is a Happy Easter Bunny (even if it is snowing!)

Spec:
AMD 5900X
Dark Hero MoBo
32 GB Ram
1TB M2 drive
360 Artic AIO CPU Cooler
LED Screen with AIDA 64 Sensor Panel Display

The fans on the AIO, Front & rear a white LED
The mobo has a ARGB back plate, I have it set for a muted teal
The ARGB strip around the edge cycles is a slow muted wave pattern from white to the same teal as the mobo

Yes its OTT & no, I don't care
