Or two... 
Well everyone, I thought I'd share some builds with you My first time with new AMD hardware although not so new now to everyone, but for me I've taken out the 1700X's I bought however long ago ... ( 31st August 2018.... jesus... That's some serious hardware abuse right there!! 
Please forgive me...) and I'm putting together two systems for my daughter Isabelle and my my girl friend, Rosie My 3 week old daughter Sophia, might be a little young for a build yet, but we'll sort her out later on I'm sure
I'm sure I'll be getting things wrong when doing this and some might think I'm completely loopy, but all is done in a days work
So, without further ado, here's a pic of the hardware I'm looking at using
We can ignore the Gigabyte board and the 850 P2, as those will be used for my bench testing system
So we have basics of 16Gb ram for each system, a 275Gb SSD for the moment for the OS drive and for now air cooling Both have one of my 'old' Strix 480's I mined on along with a 850W EVGA G+ PSU that my good man @TheMadDutchDude grabbed for me over in the USA and sent over to the UK
As it's now gone 2am and I'm feeling a little tired, I'll leave this here and post up some more pictures in the morning...
Here's a few quick teaser shots I did earlier...
Crosshair 6 Hero Wi-Fi board -
Crosshair 6 Hero
Both boards have now had a factory reset, didn't think to try it before I turned it on but... Was interesting, first one booted at 4Ghz I believe We'll see how that goes
Hope these builds are of some interest for someone

I don't like buying things twice (unless boxes are damaged
