Hi All,

 

I wanted to upgrade the above build and figured the first item would be the RAM. 2 32gb stick to bring it up to 64, something like corsair vengeance, currently A$269 at local computer shop.

 

And then I was thinking graphic's card. Kind of torn between a workstation card like a Quadro RTX A4000, currently A$1699 or using a card from my one of my 2 gaming rigs and upgrading them to a RTX 4080/90. I currently have a 3070 or a 2080 ti I could use.

 

Anyone have any thoughts or recommendations. Thanks for any replies.

Are all of these watercools in form of AIO or custom loop? Ive seen some custom loop Ghost S1 build so that would be a good-to-know information.

It's a custom loop, see the build link here

Hello, I was able to come up with this. The case is a bit bigger than the one you currently have but ITX builds can be difficult to part together on paper because if size limitations but I think you will be really happy with what I have for you and if you have any questions please ask.

Thanks PC Heroes, Looks like a good little system, but I'm not really after a new computer, just an upgrade for the current system. Thanks for taking the time to put that together.
