Updated 6th December - Now have a 40 inch 4k tv mounted above monitor and PS4 Pro

Firstly, please excuse the terrible name... Wight as a take on White - because it appears in two of my favorite things. (Witcher 3 & GoT)

So I have been a Console gamer my whole life, but always loved the idea of building a PC. It wasn't until now that I have the funds available and the need/room for a desktop of my own. I admit it wasn't originally a priority, but recently I found out about ultra-wide monitors, and after seeing these for the first time I knew I just had to build a PC.

Started researching/planning my build in May, decided on the Samsung CF791 as my monitor for the deep curve, native 100hz, and reasonable price compared to G-Sync monitors. I then went on to pick monochrome black/white/silver parts for my build to match the monitor.

I went constantly back and forth on what parts i wanted, ended up ordering at the beginning of September, mostly completely different things to what I had planned originally. But it think because I changed my mind so much this helped a lot with my knowledge of all the different parts available so when it came to ordering it all came together nicely.

I'll explain why I chose the parts I did in my reviews of each.

The build itself went reasonably smoothly, a lot easier than i expected but still managed to mess up once. When it came to putting on my AIO liquid cooler, i realized after I installed it that I put the fans in the wrong way round, so I unscrewed the block and pulled it out. Completely unaware of how strong thermal paste is, the processor came straight out along with it. After a mild heart attack, I really had to force the processor off of the bottom of the block, and when it eventually came off it went flying onto my desk pin-side down and I then procedeed to have a much stronger heart attack.

Put it all back in again and when it came to turning the PC on, nothing. After an hour of troubleshooting, beginning to question which parts i will return first, and contemplating my life, I found out that i had simply plugged in the power switch cable for the case to the motherboard incorrectly..

Now it is all set up i couldn't be happier. Think i managed to get quite a good spec list considering the PC itself was 1300 GBP. (w/o monitor, keyboard, mouse) I was already over my total budget of 2k so couldn't get a 1080ti unfortunately but will probably upgrade when new GPUs come out next year.

First things to upgrade however will be to add an M.2 for the OS and apps as I am already running out of space on my 850 evo, and I am mounting a 40 inch 4k Samsung TV above the monitor shortly.

Thanks for looking!

-I've included the Seagate 2TB Hard Drive in the price although i already had this, using it as an external though as annoyingly I had to take out the 3.5 HDD bays from my case as with the cable extensions and NZXT HUE+ included it wouldn't fit.
