My first and last order from banggood  i wasn't expecting much looks like i was sent to wrong items  as in the questions they had the sizes i wanted   wheel is to small to thin and the hex is wrong size.

Banggood can be a proper adventure, AliExpress even more so!

This, TBH I’ve never had anything but positive experiences with either ordering or dealing with their customer services

Not been too active around here of late, Just fell back into that falling out of love with RC part of my life, But  I have been putting the bits together for a new PC build, Just picking up bits here and there as they come up cheapish, And the last two bits turned up today.

 First we have the case which is a Cougar MX410-T Mesh, I accept it's one of the cheap brands, But since people don't really move there cases about to Lan parties like they did in the old day, I'm not sure you need to spend a 100 quid on a case to just sit on or under your desk, 44 quid gave me a tempered glass side, 4 ARGB fans and 2 RGB light strips down the front.

 

 Next is the power supply, Won it on eBay for £45 delivered new and still wrapped, So that was a bargain.

   

 Then we have storage, Took advantage of Prime day good and proper, A 250GB Kingstone A2000 NVME for boot duties for £27, A 500 Gig one for £45, And a Crucial 480 Gig BX500 SSD for £38, And a spare 250 Gig I had laying about.

 Also we have 32Gig of ADATA Spectrix D60G RGB Memory, Another bargain at £110, Bought one set for 60 quid, Then the next day it went down to 50 quid, After I got over having the hump with it going down a tenner, It would have been rude not to buy another kit.

Then we have the cooler, Now I was all after getting an AIO, But I was on Amazon and saw this for 22 quid, And I just had to have it, To be fair, It's pretty well built and all RGBed  up, And for £22 it's gotta be worth a punt.

 

Then we have the motherboard and Processor, I was just gonna get a B450 of some sort and save myself 50 quid, But I picked up this and a Ryzen 3600 for £309, And I liked the look of it, And I can get a £25 rebate with Rate My Gear from ASUS,  Now I know some are gonna be saying why not just wait for the Ryzen 5 5600X, Because the 5600X is gonna cost at least 260, 270 quid, Making it £100 or more over the 3600, And the supposed uplift is just not worth that over the 3600.  Your better off putting that £100 towards the GPU.

 

Last we have the Graphics card which is a Strix RX570, This is a cheat cos I already had this laying about from a build from last year that I never sold cos you never know when you may need a graphics card, But this is just a place holder until we see what Big Navi has to offer, And see were the prices fall with the RX5700XT, And see if Nvidia adjust the price of the RTX3070 after seeing what AMD want price wise for Big Navi.

 Pretty pleased so far, I've come in at £640 minus the graphics card, So if I can pick up a RX5700XT or equivalent for about 250, (Which is the most I will shell out for a graphics card) I'll be under a grand and happy.   

that is a very good set up 🙂 

 

im trying to upgrade my pc too, mine is still on 4th gen 😄

Nothing too fancy. Some aluminium turnbuckles, metal pinion 19T 0.6mod, and 64T 0.6mod spur gears for both Quantum trucks. Not sure about the aluminium turnbuckles, or the spur gears to be honest...no genuine parts, but stronger 🦾

Had some new drill bits arrive, of course I bought 3 so the free postage for over £20 applied 😁

 

 

Anyway the gamble was  that they looked suspiciously like my £££ Dorman set - infact they have exactly the same tube, and rather surprisingly have GB on the shank!  What they drill like, well who knows but they appear fair quality for £6.79 😂

 

 

If you fancy some try here - website and communications bloody awful but it will let you paypal it all.

And for anyone interested, I managed to solder the little bugger to the pcb inside my key fob and saved a nice bit money over buying a whole key fob and then getting it programmed etc 👌
