Technically this is D-I-Y but of the self built computer kind.......
Right I want to take advantage of the January sales and want to build my
own computer.
I got a new 4K monitor for Chrimbo, and I can re-use mt current graphics
card which is an AMD Radeon R9 280X card. (I know the card does not
currently support WDR or WCG even though the monitor does)
I also got a new Cherry mouse, Cherry KB and wacom graphics tablet as
part of black friday deals.
I intend to re-use the tower case & PSU and have two brand new DVD
drives in the loft and the existing Samsung EVO SATA3 512GB SSD.
I already have a retail licence for Windows 10 professional and I now
have Office 365 and a soon to be installed gigabit fibre to the home.
All I need is a half decent motherboard such as supermicro, Asus or
gigabyte or ASRock...
at least 16 GB DDR4 ram (as 2 off 8 GB sticks)
An Intel or Ryzen processor
A Samsung EVO M2 SSD as the boot drive
my usual sources for PC parts a
Scan.co.uk
Ebuyer
DABS
Now who else are doing stonking good deals in the January sales?
