So then new PC should be on its way today, delivery showing as Monday next week, which is perfect because I'm off next week.
Scan used to send a picture of your new 3XS build but you now get a link to a video, which is all very modern.
Total cost is a bit, *cough cough*, especially since I upgraded the graphics card to a RTX3080 prior to the build (documented in the Wongawatch thread).
Still, my current 3XS system has done 4 1/2 years of great service and will be going to Hearthly Jnr as a hand-me-down, and I'm expecting to get 4-5 years out of this.
I've got a few games lined up I want to try once it gets here, honestly I've been a bit disappointed by the retirement of the XBox One X and PS4 Pro down to 30FPS consoles, I was really hoping they'd have some more legs in them as 60FPS experiences, so it was whether or not to get a XBox Series X and PS5 (such as you can anyway at the moment), whilst still having to use a PC for FPS games as I can't play them with a pad, or just bite the bullet and get a new PC, so I went for the latter. (Forza Horizon 5 is one that springs to mind, which only has a 30FPS mode on the XB1X, which I think is really crap, so I'm going to get it on PC instead.)
Anyway here's a snap from the video, and also the spec sheet, I've blacked out stuff that isn't relevant to the actual PC such as delivery, warranty, the Scan 3XS branded mug etc.
The video is here if you care (it's less than a minute long) -
