    PCSPECIALIST £1500 PC budget, advice needed on best spec

    This is my concern also, I had waited until Black Friday to check out the deals but their £1300-£1600 deals seem to lack good hard drives or mobo upgradability

    PCSPECIALIST £1500 PC budget, advice needed on best spec

    Thank you for your detailed breakdown and parts list. It is greatly appreciated and provided a lot of guidance for me. I have a couple of questions if that's OK: Would the PCS FrostFlow 150 Series High Performance CPU Cooler be enough cooling for the CPU or would you recommend I spend more if...

    PCSPECIALIST £1500 PC budget, advice needed on best spec

    Hi all, I posted here a few months prior and was advised to check back at the time for the best build to go for as prices vary quite drastically. I have an MSI G24C 1080p monitor, looking to upgrade to 1440p next year. My budget is £1500 realistically. I understand that overall AMD is better...

    PCSPECIALIST Thoughts on first new PC in 9 years

    Just want to thank you everyone for their replies and helping me design my next build. I will likely purchase it over the next 3 months as splitting the cost between paycheques! Do you all recommend that I re-post in the next 3 months just before I order to re-check if any components I should...

    PCSPECIALIST Thoughts on first new PC in 9 years

    Thanks for this, having checked the CPU’s online I can certainly see the AMD CPU outperforms the i7 14700K by quite a margin in gaming but performs ‘slightly’ less at other tasks. Definitely agree for gaming it is ideal and to be honest the difference in other tasks wouldn’t even be noticeable...

    PCSPECIALIST Thoughts on first new PC in 9 years

    Hi, Thank you very much for the input and reply! I have not had an AMD cpu before, can I ask why you prefer this CPU to the one I had chosen? :) For the PSU, is 1000W definitely needed? From what I can see online 850W should be enough but perhaps I am missing something! On the processor...

    PCSPECIALIST Thoughts on first new PC in 9 years

    Hi, Apologies I thought I’d included it all but I can see I missed off my use! I am looking to have a ‘future proofed’ desktop build where I can modify it and change components in a few years where needed (notably the GPU) I should’ve mentioned, the reason my budget is £1300 is because I have...

    PCSPECIALIST Thoughts on first new PC in 9 years

    Hi all! I am very excited to have the opportunity to build my first custom desktop PC, although it is unfortunately due to my last PC processor giving out. I have read through similar forums online and would love for your input and advice on my current PC design and any areas for improvement...
