    Default New PC Day

    Hey all! Finally got back onto the forum after a few wrong password attempts lol!

    Anyway, I finally decided to upgrade my AIO PC after a long time and thought id post the specs. I have already added an extra fan to improve cooling as I am pretty cautious.
    Any advice on future upgrades to it would be great! Think I will upgrade from my 1080p to 1440 firstly.

    Case: Corsair Carbide 175R RGB
    I7-10700 2.9 GHz / 4.8 GHz
    Zotac gaming RTX 3070
    Corsair cm4x 16gb x2 8gb at 2400mhz
    Asus B460-plus
    Corsair CV 550w
    2tb Seagate Barracuda
    500gb ssd

    Yes, get a nice 165Hz+ 1440 monitor with good research rate. The 3070 can handle it no problem.

    Glad to hear it would handle it, I am definitely aiming for one next! I have added my old Seagate 2tb HDD to the pc to transfer my files but think I will just keep it in there for extra storage. Also added two more case fans to improve airflow.

    Defo going to go for a 1440p Monitor Sunwheel! I am used to 1080p 60hz so will be an amazing upgrade!

    It was a pre-built mike so I got pretty lucky!

    Its a great time to be in the monitor market. A lot of great offerings came out over the last year and a few others should be available before 2021 is over.

    Very nice on the build! How did you manage to snag a 3070? They are quite the unicorn lol. I wanted to get the 3070 when they were released but I knew I would never be able to beat the bots.
