@RoyCS This ^

 

Gaming only no workstation, streaming, production or multitasking? 7700K

 

Gaming while streaming or doing workstation/production? R7 1700 (1700X and 1800X are factory overclocks that you can perform yourself, don't waste money on a simple OC)

2.) Flashy RGB Build, aka the Herpes Build

These Builds are within almost the same budget (+/- 100 pounds). You can go with Intel of course, but currently I would advice against it, unless Intel finally drops their prices, which I doubt will never happen so... Up to you :)

Looks pretty good to me, but maybe omit the 32gigs of ram for 16, since 32 is really Overkill and unnecessary in my opinion. The Money that is saved this way can be used on Windows 10 and an internal optical drive for the first, or an external drive for the second build. Other than that really nice builds, though I would downgrade the second builds mobo to a asus prime x370. Then again, It seems the second one was over the top on purpose (you did call it the "Herpes Build" lmao).

I think it's great, good job. What monitor do you want?

The Seagate Barracuda is a hard drive but there is a problem with your optical drive and your case.

Yes I love that case too, it's just I already have two cases that can fit micro atx motherboard and it's lovely enough
