    Amazing - thank you, @Scott ! I actually reduced the PSU previously from @TonyCarter 's initial thoughts (he also recommended 1200W) just to keep costs a bit lower, but as I now have a little overhead I've bolstered back up again and I'm still just a shade under £2900, which I think is a good...

    Hi @Scott ! You make some good points, and you also knocked about £200 off the price, which is not to be sniffed at! Do I still need the high end cooling for this build? What do other people think? Case CORSAIR iCUE 5000X RGB MID TOWER GAMING CASE Promotional Item Get a discount code for 20%...

    Hi @TonyCarter ! Huge thanks for this - it's really useful! I have a few questions / thoughts: At this point, I'm undecided what is going to happen to my existing PC, so I may end up just stumping for a fresh license for Windows. Aside from anything else, my PC right now is on Windows 10 (can't...

    Hi all, It's been a while - 10+ years - since I last built a PC, and I'm in the process of working out what I want next. I've put together a build below which gets me a little under £3000 - my priorities are as following: * Work from home - this PC needs to cover everything below, often...

    It's been a while since I last built a PC - I've used a laptop for the last few years. I'm looking for something that will run games well and that will be able to handle the Oculus Rift when that finally appears, and that I can stream media / do all the usual computer-y things on.
