P500A is a fairly new case and stock hasn't been great for it. If it's the P500A you like and want, then Overclockers UK should be getting stock of it by the end of next month.
Otherwise, yeah the PC-O11 Dynamic is a great alternative. The PC-O11 does not come with any case fans, so yes you will have to buy some fans for that. No, it is not worth upgrading RAM or motherboard. Just wait until you do a whole socket upgrade, do a CPU/Mobo/RAM upgrade all at the same time. So aside from that, and a GPU upgrade, there's really nothing worth spending money on with your system IMO. Just save your 250 quid, wait another month or 2, and then start looking at a GPU upgrade. An RTX 3060 or AMD equivalent is likely to be around 350 quid. |

Rauben wrote Might be a stupid question but what fans would you recommend I've never bought any separate they've always came with. Not stupid at all. Rauben wrote Also sorry for still mithering xD No worries Be Quiet! Pure Wings 2's, or SilentWings 3's would be my go-to for case fans, personally. Assuming you don't care about RGB. If you DO want RGB, then Corsair LL or Lian-Li "Unifan" SL are your best options. Lian-Li for less headache with installation, or Corsair if you prefer the look of them. Or, alternatively, you could just use Phanteks Halos fan frames to give your non RGB fans a bit of lighting. |

| Yeah I don't care for RGB so I'll pick up some silent wing 3s how many fans will I need ? And the money situation is more if I don't spend it now it will be wasted so there's no reason to save it. I was thinking about buying some new ram for the mobo I'll buy in the near future but keep it boxed up till I do the motherboard and cpu upgrade. |

Rauben wrote how many fans will I need ? I'd probably run 3 fans on the side or bottom as intake, and then 1 or 2 fans set up for exhaust up top. You could absolutely get away with just 3 fans total though- in that case, I'd probably just have all 3 on the side(or bottom) as intake, or 2 as intake(side/bottom) and one up top for exhaust. Rauben wrote And the money situation is more if I don't spend it now it will be wasted so there's no reason to save it. I was thinking about buying some new ram for the mobo I'll buy in the near future but keep it boxed up till I do the motherboard and cpu upgrade. I'd really advise against this, because if you end up not having the money for a CPU upgrade then you end up having RAM sitting in a box in your cupboard doing nothing, where you could have potentially used that money for something more important. Or even worse, you have the money for a new CPU+Mobo but by the time you decide on an upgrade, DDR5 is being used and you have DDR4 that you simply can't use anyway. If you really just want to spend the money, then 250 quid will get you a decent B450 motherboard and 16GB of decent DDR4 RAM. Then all you need is an AM4 CPU at some point. Ryzen 4000 CPU's are due to be announced in about 2 weeks and it looks like they're still going to use the AM4 socket and DDR4 RAM but I can not confirm that until AMD actually give us the information. |

So I ended up grabbing the PC-O11 Dynamic, Sabrent Rocket Q, And a few SilentWings 3' and I grabbed some Corsair Dominator Platinum 3200MHz which I know you didn't agree with as I can't use it yet as my mobo is ddr3 but this is my question. So what priority should I upgrade my mobo CPU and GPU?
I was thinking mobo first as then I can put this ram to use then I can buy a GPU and then my CPU? Obviously, I don't even know what mobo GPU or CPU I am after yet so would need your help on that too. Many thanks |

Rauben wrote So what priority should I upgrade my mobo CPU and GPU? Well, since you've got some DDR4 RAM now, you might as well prioritise CPU/Mobo over GPU, so that you can actually make use of that RAM. A GPU upgrade is going to be a more effective way to get higher FPS in Call of Duty games though. Rauben wrote I was thinking mobo first as then I can put this ram to use then I can buy a GPU and then my CPU? You won't be making use of that DDR4 RAM if you just get a new motherboard, you'll need a new CPU as well. Rauben wrote Obviously, I don't even know what mobo GPU or CPU I am after yet so would need your help on that too. Depends entirely on when you upgrade and what your budget is at the time. |

I'm not sure if I want to get a 3080 when it's in stock or wait for AMD's new GPUs and then get an AMD CPU which pairs with it.
Also how much are motherboards that would have the capability of running with the new GPUs/ CPUs I'm sorry for how nooby I sound lmao I am cringing just writing this cant imagine what you're thinking but I need your help lol |
