OOh - Nice. I'd have waited for the 5000 series cpu's to be available though

oh nice - thank you. By the time HRMC pull their fingers out of their arseholes it'll prob be end of year anyway so will tweak the order. tbh I'm more excited about the keyboard than anything!

I have a Filco Majestouch-2 (brown switches). It's really rather good.

Mechanical keyboards are brilliant. Brown switches are a little noisy but very satisfying to use.

If you have a chance to tweak the order probably best to run it past holyspam. He's pretty up to date on what's good.

Ha yeah that's the plan. Been on a 15" for so long that it'll take some getting used to.

Each part costs more than my whole PC

My only suggestion is to swap the HDD for the cheapest 2-4TB SSD and drop the 500GB one

Hey Holes :)  Yeah been saving for a couple of years now. With the HDs, the plan is to run the OS and installs on 1, 2 is a sync drive for google drive and then file archives on the 4TB. The SSDs get scary expensive above 1tB but will take a look - cheers :)

I'd say toss the Seagate and get a HGST. HGST has a way lower failure rate

Kops ain't American - the IP lookup is wrong. He's more Milton Keynes than Las Vagas.
