Hey all,

 

I'm looking upgrade my PC ahead of the 4080 16GB launch. I wanted to quickly sanity check my upgrade with you all,

 

 

I currently have a 2080 Super and a Samsung 970 EVO I will be putting in the case. I'm also buying a load of Noctua NF-S12A Black fans to go in the case for a relatively quiet setup, which was an ultimate goal of the build.

 

Any glaringly obvious mistakes? Things to improve? Some method to the madness,

 

• I've purposely not gone for the 13900K, I just don't feel I need it.
• Equally I don't feel I need a Z790 motherboard.
• I know the case is large, but that's somewhat on purpose. Plenty of room to grow GPU wise. My current case is tiny!
• The PSU is likely overkill, again I'm thinking about future growth. The price difference with the store I'm looking at between the 1000W and 1200W is ~5% so I figured why not go bigger.

 

Thanks!

Looks fine. I don't see any compatibility issues. You may need to update the BIOS using the USB BIOS Flashback feature.

I assumed as much. Thanks for the feedback!
