    PCSPECIALIST A question about finance

    From the PCS Finance page: "Be in permanent paid employment (over 16 hours per week), retired and receiving a pension or self-employed." I'd argue with that budget, you won't need finance. You'll be able to buy a top-tier PC and a new monitor for that money. Believe me, you don't want to be...

    PCSPECIALIST Sanity check on PC build

    You had feedback in your original thread that wasn't replied to, including a suggested build from another member. You should have just kept to that thread.

    PCSPECIALIST LIAN LI 011 D alternatives?

    I wouldn’t want to wait either. You can always source the case yourself and send it in. It’s a great case and cases seem to be in thin supply on PCS at the moment due to the new GPU’s coming out and demand for builds being high.

    PCSPECIALIST Is there any glaring weakness for this build?

    I mean, I wouldn't want a white case with black components, but from a hardware point of view, it's a lovely build. EDIT What Tony said. I need to type quicker.

FPS will always fluctuate when you're gaming, depending on where you are in the game and what is being rendered in the direction you're looking. You should...

    PCSPECIALIST Football Manager 2025 is officially cancelled!

    I played FM almost obsessively from CM97/98 until FM22 and haven't picked it up since. It just went a little too detailed for me and to get any sort of longevity in a save required far too much time. It's a shame they've cancelled this version, but not completely unsurprising given the delays.
