    @TH3R34P3R @flibberdipper @m9x3mos @Geography Thanks for the helpful and quick response guys! I’ll try for £850 and see where that gets me, I’m pleasantly surprised as it’s way more than I thought it’d be worth. Thanks again!

    Hey guys and gals, Thinking or selling my two year old PC on Facebook or EBay. I spent around £1300+ on it at the time back in January 2017. I’m not silly also, I do know how much the price depreciates over time with PC hardware when second hand btw haha ? Here are the specs: Intel 6700k NZXT Kraken X62 240mm AIO Asus Z170 S Sabertooth TUF series motherboard Corsair Dominator Platinum RAM 16GB (2X8GB) @ 3000mhz ASUS GTX 1060 6GB OC Sandisk M.2 128GB SSD Seagate 1tb HDD NZXT H440 White NZXT Hue+ NZXT 140mm AER RGB fan NZXT 120mm AER RGB fans (x2) NZXT RGB strips 1ft (x2) I was thinking of listing it for £600? Maybe £700? I’m mainly thinking about the combined second hand cost of the CPU, GPU and RAM. Thank for anything helpful in advance.

    Just seen the leaked pixel 3 stuff... Yeah gonna go with the S9 I think haha
  4. BionicMushroom
    Upgrade wise the S9 is my only option unless I buy either of the phones outright and Stick with my sim only.
  5. BionicMushroom
    Well like I said I’m a uni student so I don’t want to pay extra for the note 9/pixel 3 as I’d be more than happy with the phones that are out already. I was considering the LG V30 for a while but the front facing camera sucks apparently and I’d be more comfortable staying within my lane of Samsung or stock android with a Google. Thanks for for the reply though!

    Hey guys haven’t posted in a while but here goes! My two year galaxy S7 contract ends next month and I’m currently deciding if I should jump from the S7 to the S9? I’m not bothered about the plus variants as I know the jump from S7 to S9 will be big anyway in terms of screen. It’s just everything else in question though. I’m at university right now so I can’t spend top dollar (or in my case, pound as I’m from the UK) I’ll be getting calls, texts and data from the network and all of that and would be jumping from 2GB a month to 5GB with calls and texts being unchanged. But to be honest, I’m torn between the S9 and the Google Pixel 2 XL for sure. I’d love to try and experience the clean crisp android build from Google with arguably one of the best cameras but I love my headphone jack and want the beautiful S9 display. Plus the S9 is massive upgrade in terms of audio anyway from the S7 so I know the S9 is evenly matched there against Pixel there. I don’t know, I’m torn. Any and all advice welcome! Thanks peeps! Have a great day! P.S. Apple iPhone? Haha... hahaha.... hahahaha... Nope! ?

    So the case came yesterday, and well it's built! My word does it look sexy. I may end up creating a thread about the build tonight and post pictures. The white colour scheme is just superb I will say. -BionicMushroom

    Just a quick update, currently starting to wonder whether or not to go with the Sabertooth Motherboard because although it does have all the ports I want and need, I'm looking at the Z170 PRO which has virtually the same ports, but is cheaper and still looks good and keeps the black and white colour scheme. Asus Intel Lga1151 Z170 Sabertooth S ATX Motherboard - £177.89 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-Lga1151-Z170-Sabertooth-Motherboard/dp/B01ARORJF2/ Asus Z170 Pro Motherboard (Socket 1151, Z170, DDR4, S-ATA 600, ATX, SupremeFX, Sonic Radar ll) - £133.98 https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-Z170-Skylake-CrossFire-Motherboard/dp/B016ADLARW/ If anyone can find any images of how both these boards look in the H440 White case for perspective that'd be really helpful. -BionicMushroom

    Is price an object?
  11. BionicMushroom
    I've decided on the Sandisk SSD 240GB model after reviewing and looking back on possible ssd solutions. It's price per gig is one I'm more than happy to pay for and plus the 2.5" drive will make use of the NZXT H440s drive bays located on top of the PSU shield and will display nicely as well as making better use of the cable management the case offers. Also SanDisk is a company that hasn't let me down yet so I'm more than comfortable going with them.

    While I'm now more inclined to use a M.2 Mounted SSD as my boot drive, I still think I would be better suited using Samsung's 128GB M.2 SSD as it's only around £60 which is saving me £25. Peoples reviews are stating an average of 5-8 second boot up time which is completely fine with me, them sort of speeds are more than satisfactory for me personally.
  14. BionicMushroom
    AH! Thank you! I've now edited the original post with the list, thank you!
  15. BionicMushroom
    Thank you! Ah right, yeah I should have figured that would have been best, I'm still trying to figure out how to import the list the way Matias Chambers has done it above (It's probably me being a moron most likely) Thanks on the shout regarding the PSU, I have now changed it to the one suggest by Chambers above thanks! I am now looking into getting a 1070 now for definite, I can go over budget but only by so much. I'm trying to view this as making this one investment and hopefully not having to upgrade for a good few years. Thanks again! -BionicMushroom
