Anyone got the same kinda build for cheaper,

I don't need to overclock the CPU, mainly for gaming and video editing/streaming.

The case is the only thing im pretty set on. I'm from the Uk and want the build to be under £1400, I'll consider other cases but I quite like the 700.

If you don't care to overclock I'd probably go with the 8700 but your build is good as well.

That's pretty nice actually, I don't need an HDD I'm going to pull that from my last build and replace it before selling with a spare one I have.

The MOBO is interesting though, very interesting.

Intel will squeeze few extra fps from top GPU's. AMD is better for non-gaming rigs. Both are really good setups, if you plan on gaming, no heavy video edits etc, INTEL one will give you better FPS. IF you plan to edit more than you game, then AMD will shine. Both are awesome, I talk about up to 10% FPS and up to 20% faster video editing....

This is my other idea actually, but I think it might hinder thermal performance, the size is what draws me to this and I've always loved this case, especially being a portal player,

My big issue with the ryzen 2700 & 2700x is that at the minute the ryzen 1700 is 149.99

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/amd-ryzen-7-eight-core-1700-3.70ghz-socket-am4-processor-retail-cp-39x-am.html

& thats close enough performance wise to the 2700 to make that 100 quid difference a massive bargain.

I would also take the b450 pro carbon over the x470 gaming plus any day of the week.

Its quite simply a better board.

madmatt30's idea of going with the 1700 is really good. Doing so would allow you to get the RTX 2080. I would use the stock cooler on the 1700 until you decide to overclock, also went with the White/Black/Windowed case as it seems more Portal(y) to me.

so what is the performance benefit of the 2080 instead of the 1080's, I've been out of the loop for a bit and I've seen all the raytrace memes but is it really worth it when a 1080Ti is £500? - Otherwise I'll look at ryzen 1 series, that's a pretty damn good deal

[strike]Well besides the ray tracing the performance is supposedly better, be it if you go with the 1080 ti or RTX 2080 I would still consider waiting until professional reviews of the RTX 2080 comes out and see if the extra cost is worth the performance increase.[/strike]

Get the 1080 ti for much cheaper.
