Thanks for the info @Scott , again it helps me to make a choice of what system to go for, and it all helps increase my computer knowledge. To answer the question from @THMC the most amount of RAM I've seen the computer use, (whilst I've been on it today) is 61%, which was when playing SimCity...

@THMC I currently have 8GB RAM, but to be honest I don't know how much is used at most, I'll have a look when I'm home and will report back.

Thanks for the info, I will look into it. It's all definitely helped me decide which system is best for my needs.

Many thanks for that, it looks like the sort of system I have in mind. I'll look into it. I notice it has 2 SSD's. I've seen before where there is 1 SSD, usually with the operating system on, and then a conventional HDD. So I wondered what is the advantages of having 1 SSD and 1 HDD, or having 2...

Yeah I wasn't really happy about the jesting, I felt a bit irritated by that, especially as people don't know why I have it, like you say older games display better on an older screen, and I have a lot of old games. Once I get my new PC the CRT will be used on an older PC specifically for older...

Based on what I've seen on the PC Specialist website I think around £1500 would be the maximum I'm willing to spend, but I expect I may be able to get something around the £1000 mark. With a monitor I don't need anything fancy, but I see a 24" screen for about £100 that looks like it will do the...

Hi, I don't really have a budget as such, I can spend whatever is necessary. My current setup cost less than £500, but I realise that's too cheap and I'd probably need to spend a lot more to get something decent. The monitor I'm using is a Samsung Samtron 75e, an old CRT. How come you ask...

When choosing another computer, I'm not really sure what I need when I look at the list of processors, motherboards, graphics cards etc, this is where my computer knowledge is lacking. I use my computer for general web browsing, email, converting video files to DVD, photos, and light gaming...

ok will do, many thanks.

Thank you for all providing me with all that information, I didn't realise it would be so complex, and that it would require many other components to be replaced, so I can definitely see why starting again from scratch with a new system makes sense. I have in the past tried to improve my current...

My computer isn't the fastest, in fact its rather slow and can take a while to perform simple tasks, it will often freeze for moments when doing something that should be simple. I don't need a really powerful PC, but I would like something that runs quickly and smoothly. For the most part this...

I've had my PC for only a short while, and occasionally I have alerts from Nvidia saying that there are new drivers available, but when I click on it to install them it comes up with a message saying "Something went wrong, try restarting Ge Force Experience", does anyone know why it is deciding...

I got my new computer and have used it for the first time today, everything is great and works fine, but just have a question. As with all computers they will make humming sounds etc, but it's like the sound of the hum goes up and down, what exactly is making that noise and why does the sound vary?
