I’m happy for you. I hope assembly all goes smoothly and you are happy with the final result. Based on the specs of what you purchased, you should see a very good improvement in processing ability.

However lack of any Solid State storage will negatively impact your user experience, I fear. Are you re-using an existing SSD for OS and cache?

Do please let us know how you get on.

Yes, I am keeping my current SSD for the root partition for my OS.

Well, I got my parts the other day, and pretty straight forward install. Luckily the Arctic Freezer 34 Duo cooler I opted for wasn’t any bigger, as it wouldn’t have fitted in the pc case I have!

Currently running a few benchmarks to see how the system is going.

Quite a good improve on benchmarking with my new system!

Enjoy it :-)))))

Lol, I’ve jinxed it already… Why are usb 3.0 motherboard headers (particularly right angled ones) so flaccid in the pin department… So a PCIE usb 3.0 internal header card on its way to get the front panel usb slots working again
