Hi, so I'm looking for a decent and reliable gaming PC setup that will solely be used for the purpose of usual home/office work along with being able to run the new Microsoft flight simulator 2020. My budget is about £1400-£1500. I will be using it with a 32" AOC 144Hz 1440p monitor which I find...

Hello, So this is my first venture into researching and buying a gaming PC which will be for normal home/office use as well as being my dedicated PC for using the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. I have purchased a nice set of hardware like joysticks and headsets for VATSIM as well as a AOC...

I have indeed linked windows to my Microsoft account. Good to know this is an option of saving me £100! Do you happen to know if PCS load the PC with a unlicensed version of Windows or is it completely empty when it is delivered?

So I am upgrading from an off the shelf acer desktop PC to a custom build one with PCS and noticed the installation of windows 10 adds almost £100 to the order. Now i have windows 10 already installed on my acer desktop and have made a USB bootable drive with windows 10 on it that i used to...

Hi thanks for your advice. I actually already have a 8gb corsair vengenence 3000mhz ram module from my old PC that I will be putting into this rig (as i don't want to sell it or waste it!) however i couldn't find a 1 x 8GB stick 3000mhz corsair vengeance on PCS... or i might be looking in the...

Also, if anyone as any experience with this CPU paired with a 2060s or 2070s for Flight simulator 2020 running at 1440p that would be greatly appreciated :)

Thank for all your help so farI have amended my build to the following now: Case COOLERMASTER MASTERBOX MB530P RGB GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT Eight Core CPU (4.7GHz/36MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard ASUS® TUF GAMING B550-PLUS (DDR4, USB 3.2, 6Gb/s) - ARGB Ready! Memory (RAM) 16GB...

The fans on the case are actually PWM controlled providing your motherboard also has the port to accept PWM for the fans. Can you post the full spec including the motherboard?

Another question I have for you guys... I have been looking at the PCS Spectrum RGB mid tower case and has stood out to me as its cheap, has ample space for the storage that i need and in the future, has great airflow due to the front mesh and has 3x120mm fans that are RGB addressable. However...

Thanks for the advice! Do you reckon it could be worth going to a Ryzen 7 3800 or something along the lines of that to bring the cost abit down. As my CPU usage isn't not high apart from flight summing as my ideal budget would be £1500. Any suggestions?

Good point on the RAM. The one I have is also Corsair Vengeance so it should be compatible. I will try anyway or just have it as back up or sell it if it doesn't work. As for the GPU yes I agree the 3070 is definitely worth the extra money however what would be the one thing you coulddowngrade...

So would you say the £130 more for a 3070 is worth getting over the 2060 super for flight simulator? According to YouTube the 2060 can give a solid 30fps however it could be different for me due to my choice of CPU and also other programs that I run alongside the simulator. I do have 8GB of...

That's what I've heard is that Ryzen CPU's could handle simulation better although I haven't seen evidence for this as of yet. My monitor is a AOC 32" 1440p 120Hz monitor which I am happy with. It does take advantage of AMD v sync technology but I've heard it doesn't make a difference if the...
