Building my first SFF PC, although thanks to coronavirus so many components are hard to get in the UK. Thankfully it made me wait, then intel released the new 10th gen CPUs, even though I was planning an AMD build initially. It's going to be a gaming PC mostly, with some very light photo and video editing, which is why I decided on an intel CPU even though AMD is better value for money.
I'm waiting for my Ncase M1 v6.1 (Est shipping 11-15 May), and the i7-10700k to hit the stores, but the z490 motherboards were available for preorder today so I decided to pull the pin on the rest of the components while waiting for my M1 to arrive. I'm also deciding to wait for the next Nvidia 3000 series GPU's to hit the market in Q4 2020, so I bought a 2070 super to tie me over until the 3080 Ti or whatever it gets named is released.
Specs are as below:
CPU:Intel Core i7-10700k AMD Ryzen 3900X
CPU Cooler: NXZT X53 AIO
Motherboard:ASUS ROG STRIX Z490-I GAMING ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Impact Mini-DTX
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32Gb 3000Mhz CAS 16-20-20-38
GPU: Nvidia Geforce RTX 2070 Super FE
Storage: Gigabyte 1Tb M.2 (2280) NVME
PSU: Corsair SF750 Platinum
Case: Ncase M1 v6.1
Fans: 2x Noctua NF-A12x25
Edit:
Alright, so I got ABSOLUTELY cucked when it came to scan.co.uk, overclockers UK and Sotel.de. I don't know how my luck turned out so bad with electronics parts ordering, my girlfriend ordered a brand new Dell XPS off dell.co.uk and her screen arrived DOA too, so maybe I'm just living in a cursed household.
So now, my parts incoming have been scrapped from intel, as I can get the 3900X for 40 quid more than the i7, so that's now en-route.
