New build, bought Mobo. Want it to be about 1000£. Can’t wait. Any tips? Want to oc cpu and gpu heavily. Whaddya think?

You'll be better off with only 2x8gb in the system instead of 4x4 GB of RAM. Also, you should get an SSD that supports NVMe, which only has one notch on the pins instead of 2 (like a Corsair Force MP500, Samsung 970 Evo, etc)

 

Your graphics card will be so heavily overclocked out of the box, you don't need to worry about doing the OC yourself

 

Looks pretty solid overall, the motherboard choice is excellent. I've used it a couple times in builds and I'm very satisfied.

x-series chips aren't worth it most of the times, get a 2600

also, get a 3000+ mhz 2×8 set memory

and I would choose a 860 evo 500 gigs

[LukeSavenije]

and take a look at some 1070 ti cards, they are great and a lot cheaper

Won’t the x series oc higher? Or is that a bit of a myth
