    As a thought experiment, not much of a thought experiment tbh

    Minimum wage for 23 and over is £10.23 (used to be a good hourly wage, now is horrendous)

    £3039.21 / £10.23 = 297.08 / 8 hours a day = 37.135 days. IF you earn minimum wage it took you 8 hours a day for 37 days in order to afford this. Didn't need to include weekends as I was interested in the total amount of days not weeks.

    If you earn 2x this much it will take 18 days at 8 hours a day to afford this. So it's worth bearing in mind the factor of time. How much time did it take it get the money to afford this versus how much time it is actually worth to you. Usually a product has some extra value if it saves you time. If you don't like the amount of time it took you to afford this item then it is too expensive for you and time is something none of us can ever buy more of. We can use money to save us time but never to buy more time.

    Disclaimer: If any of this doesn't add up it's because I'm an amateur at Mathematics or you just want this more than you care about the time it took you to afford it. Also none of what I said is a judgement for or against anybody wanting to buy this whether they have the means based on what I said above or beyond the means above. It is just perhaps too much time wasted on thinking most likely. This is either depressing or elating or neither. (edited)

    Assuming this person works an entire year at £10.23 an hour, after tax and if they haven't opted out from the basic 2% pension they're looking at £8.77(ish) per hour. That brings them up to 43.318 days. I'll stop there, because the thought of this is depressing me.

    Pretty good system cheaped out on the M2.
    MisterGiGS's avatar
    I dunno, the Solidigm P44 Pro is basically an SK Hynix P41 Platinum with slightly different firmware, both Gen 4x4 drives with a DRAM cache (2GB LPDDR4 in this instance) and speeds up to 7000MB/s read and 6500MB/s writes, they get a bit warm, but a lot of Gen 4 drives do.

    Its certainly cheaper than the competition, but its a very quick and consistent drive. All the components are made by SK Hynix themselves, so the price can be lower because of that.

    I need to sell my 4090 but I cannot be bothered to deal with eBay scammers that I always get when selling used PC hardware. The last one I had claimed I sent a CPU/Mobo with burns on it, so I said "send it back then" and he never did, obviously just hoping I do a partial refund. I get that so much, people just trying to get a partial refund to keep the hardware. I barely sell on it now, I end up just throwing all my old stuff in the bin instead.

    At least you stay within your budget. In the past, I have gone outwith mine and it is always instant remorse. At the end of the day, they are the same games, just a little sharper and a little smoother if you have the high end equipment.

    Your first issue: What you've probably read is AM5 motherboards 'cap out' out 5200mhz DDR5 RAM. In one sense that is right, but that's not the full picture. What it is is that motherboards have a 'normal RAM speed range' and then an overclocked range. The normal range is 5200mhz and below. Stick your 5200mhz RAM sticks in and off you go. To use 6400/6200/6000/5800/5600/5400mhz RAM, you need enable the faster RAM in the BIOS. This is an easy, normal and common thing to do (it's been done on this PC). Intel uses XMP and AMD (for AM5) uses RAMP. It's just a toggle in the BIOS to allow your (above 5200mhz, 6000mhz in this case) RAM to run at it's full speed.

    You can get RAM 'tuned' for AMD or Intel, that's something to watch for. Some RAM will work with both, some will only be AMD etc.

    Don't get bogged down with RAM speed. There's usually a 'sweet spot', AMD last year said it was 6000 which seemed high. I'm not sure that's the case and could have been be said to sell the more expensive kits. For Intel DDR5 it's 5400-5600. It's better to have more RAM than faster RAM once the sweet spot has been identified. The CL timings also matter, you want those low as you can.

    Second point, pairing an Intel CPU with an Intel GPU etc. Bascially it doesn't matter. There are benefits if you're going to mess about with things, I've seen tests where same brand CPU/GPU outform a mixed CPU/GPU, but I've seen far more saying it really doesn't matter. I've been mixing CPU/GPU brands, I am right now. It's much more important to get the actual CPU and GPU choices right than to force it to make sure they align in branding.

    Hope this helps, ask questions if you need.

    AMD last year said it was 6000 which seemed high. I'm not sure that's the case and could have been be said to sell the more expensive kits.

    Once the prices finally settle I think it will be.
    CL timings don't matter much for Intel but do make a bigger difference with AMD, hence the reason I went for a 6000Mhz CL30 kit to pair with the 7800X3D I'll be picking up soon.

    I'm hoping I can tweak the timings a bit, CL28 at 6000Mhz would do me just fine. If not I'll drop it down to 5600Mhz as CL28 at that speed shouldn't be an issue and FPS would be higher than 6000Mhz/CL30.

    This is a pretty useful comparison vid, at the 7:00 minute mark you can see the differences with speed/timings on AMD -

    My Suggestion for non builders who desire something Uq...

    Go to PCPP: uk.pcpartpicker.com/

    Click on "choose a CPU"
    head to "Merchants" find: AWD / CCL

    two builders on PCPP who do customs,

    so when u select one, ull have part lists for that builder only, create a build that clicks ur need and then go fishing for that system via their call centre.

    find out what their build fee is, what does that build inc such as extra warrenty and co.

    ask them to send u a Quote, use that quote to then go fishing for others builds who aint on PCPP; palicomp / stormforce they will either match it, beat it or challenge it a very nearest or better deal with x because they have alt parts. (edited)

    I have a quick question please...

    Over the past few months I've been reading contradicting comments regarding DDR5 ram with AMD CPU's and was hoping someone could please clear it up

    I had read that most of the new high end AMD chips were capped on the ram to like 5200mhz and 5600mhz. Now obviously this build has 6000mhz ram, so clearly something is wrong, have I misunderstood what I've previously read about DDR5 speeds or in this case is it being overclocked by the builder OR is it a restriction of the mobo ?

    I hope I make sense and apologies for making a mess of the thread, but I'm lost on who to ask.

    Also I had read that it's a good idea to pair Ryzen CPU's with Radeon cards rather than have this hybrid approach of AMD & Nvidia - is this more tosh ?

    Thank you in advance brilliant techie people
    The.Fat.Cat's avatar
    There were issues with early motherboards not liking faster RAM, with newer BIOS revisions it much better, you can usually get up to 6200Mhz without too many issues, 6400Mhz and higher can still be an issue (for now, anyway).

    As 6000Mhz is the sweet spot for price/performance it doesn't matter too much if you can't run faster RAM.

    Also I had read that it's a good idea to pair Ryzen CPU's with Radeon cards rather than have this hybrid approach of AMD & Nvidia - is this more tosh ?

    It doesn't make much difference really, it's more about the model CPU rather than the make. (edited)

    From a self builder (which i am) bit here an bit there, easily pick at straws.
    for a premium prebuilt, its on the cards for value with decent parts.

    its not going to go hot, 500++ never went hot last time in that sence., but certainly one when its offer to get on here because it means buisness and sends upper market challenge.

    The cheaper one posted today, calc same break down using cheaper parts which is what cyberpower do and there only ever on the mark when its costco related deal. (edited)

    Looking to build a gaming pc around this budget, was wondering if there's a similair prebuilt machine to this a bit gutted i missed out. idealy £2500ish could stretch to 3,000 if i think its going to make big enough difference on 4k gaming.

    Is that because of price to performance or noise?

    Yep they are very fast. Got one myself and it seems...solid. The utilities are pretty mediocre but I didn't buy the drive for those.
