I've got a Vortex III using on board audio and my Qpad headphones work fine for music and videos but when using them to play games the audio isn't great and actually quite garbled for cut scenes. Can anyone suggest a reason and solution for this?

Can somebody please explain to me the pros and cons of a graphics card and its ram allocation i.e. a Titan has 6GB and a 780 has 3GB and they perform very similarly in benchmarks. So, what exactly is the benefit of more more ram? Appreciate your comments...

I'd like to know which sound card on the configurator would be best for gaming, movies and music? They range greatly in price and I'm wondering which would be the best and the most cost effective? I currently have 2.1 speakers.

Does anyone know how you disable the trackpad on the Vortex III. I keep touching it accidentally when typing and would like to be able to temporarily disable it. Anyone know how?

Here's a provisional spec for a new gaming PC. All comments/observations welcome. Not sure about the power supply so it's a best guess! Case NZXT PHANTOM WHITE GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i7 Six Core Processor i7-3930K (3.2GHz) 12MB Cache Motherboard ASUS® P9X79 PRO: INTEL® SOCKET...

I'm in the process of deciding the spec for a new desktop (high-end gaming) and was wondering which of the cooling systems is the best out of the ones PC Specialist offer? There seems to be a big price range and was wondering if the most expensive is actually better or over priced in terms of...

I'm looking to buy a desktop and am not sure which graphics card to go for. Which is better the 6GB TITAN or the GTX 780? What exactly is the difference? And is there much between the 770 and the 780? I want to use it for high-end gaming. Thanks

Anyone else had trouble installing The Witcher Enhanced Edition on Windows 7? I keep getting an error message about it not being compatible for Windows and something about a dll file? I think it has something to do with Direct X 9 and my new Vortex III has the Direct X 11. Any ideas?

I’ve decided to do a review in the hope that it may be helpful to other people who are maybe like me and had never heard of PCS before and wanted to know more about them. I have recently purchased a Vortex III laptop with the sole purpose of playing games. I was originally drawn to all the...

I just got my Vortex III and I love it except for one small issue: How do I get THX Studio to work? It just keeps asking me to 'add and audio device' as it doesn't seem to recognise my speakers. The speakers are working but I'd like THX enabled. When I open the sound section of control panel the...

I'm looking to buy a new gaming mouse for my new laptop and I'd like it to be wireless. I'm drawn to the Razr Elite but it's had mixed reviews. Any suggestions will be welcomed.

I've been looking at some mods on the internet for Oblivion: Elder Scrolls IV and was wondering if any of them are particularly good/useful? Similarly are there any to avoid? I'll go with the tried and tested approach every time... Any suggestions will be welcome :)

I wasn't sure where to post this, so apologies if this is the wrong place but I'm interested in buying a good quality wireless gaming headset that will be good for games and listening to music. Any suggestions as to which one is best or which ones to avoid would be much appreciated.

I'd like to see a choice of colours in the neon lighting that is available in some of the chassis that you offer. At present there seems to only be blue or red depending upon which chassis you choose. A wider choice of colours would help people to personalise their new 'rigs' further. If this...
