    PCSPECIALIST R9 290 vs 780

    Which one would you guys go for and why? Things I take into consideration: -Performance -Heat -Noise These would both be triple fan designs so the cooling and noise on the R9 290 would be much better than reference. Also, keep in mind the 780 is obviously more expensive, just wanted to know if...

    PCSPECIALIST Taking a GPU on a plane

    Hey guys, In a couple weeks I'm going to America and I plan on buying a GPU out there as I can save nearly £100. I will then need to take it on the flight back to the UK. Does anyone know if I can take a graphics card on hand luggage? I'd prefer not to put it in my suitcase because it'll...

    PCSPECIALIST Cosmos II 15.6" Webcam

    Hey guys, I was trying to video call on skype yesterday and found that my webcam wasn't working. I hadn't tried to use it before but I did install the webcam drivers when I first got it. I've tried to repair the drivers and that didn't work, along with uninstalling and then reinstalling the...

    PCSPECIALIST Laptop for my girlfriend

    Hey guys, my girlfriend wants a laptop and her budget is around £300 without windows and she can't go over by much. She only wants it for general use like word, playing movies etc. She doesn't need loads of storage either, so a 120gb SSD would be fine. Here's the builds I've come up with so...

    PCSPECIALIST Planetary Annihilation

    Anyone here already got it? I got it for £30 in a steam sale and now its standard price is £30, so it's not the stupid price it was in alpha. I was just wondering as I have the game and only one of my friends have it, we all love starcraft II but the rest of them refuse to buy this great RTS...

    PCSPECIALIST New desktop GPU

    Hey guys, I've put this in the PC gaming section since It isn't about PCS computers. My custom desktop has a 7850 graphics card and over summer I was going to upgrade it to something better. I only have a 500w PSU so will probably need upgrading. My budget with a new power supply is around...

    PCSPECIALIST Cosmos II 15.6" screen issues

    I've had my Cosmos II for two weeks now and ever since the start I've has this screen issue that when I boot up for around the first 3 minutes it sometimes randomly flickers. It usually only lasts about two seconds and I think I may have a lose connection inside the laptop or the screen is...

    PCSPECIALIST Prototype 2

    Just wondering if anyone owned prototype 2 on PC and would say if it's worth it or not? Seen mixed reviews really and got 76 on metacritic. Loved the first one and it's on sale on steam for the day! Do you guys think it's worth the £5 sale price? Just don't want to buy it and never play it like...

    PCSPECIALIST Cosmos II 15.6" usb 3.0

    My new Cosmos II 15.6" is running great so far, one problem so far. Sometimes the usb 3.0 sockets don't work with my mouse or any other device, but the 2.0 port does. Once I restart the computer it's all fine and the usb 3.0 ports will work with the mouse, any idea why? Whenever the usb 3.0...

    Hey guys, I got my laptop a couple days ago (will be reviewing it soon) and decided I wanted to add an mSata SSD, is it possible as I know it has the mSata slot but on the PCS confiurator it doesn't have any mSata SSDs to choose from, but all the other laptops do :/ Does this mean that the...

    PCSPECIALIST AMD Athlon CPUs

    AMD recently released the new Athlon range which seems like it could be great for cheaper, smaller builds. I was just wondering if they were going to be made available on PC Specialist any time soon? I think they'd be brilliant for steam machines in the living room for home steaming and light...

    PCSPECIALIST Cosmos II 15"

    I will probably be ordering this configuration within the next week or so, but was wondering if this laptop would run demanding games such as BF4 for a couple hours at a time without overheating? I just wanted to know as I've got an quad core i7 and a gtx 850m, when before the GPUs in this...

    PCSPECIALIST Cosmos 2 15"

    They there, I was thinking about buying cosmos 2 and when building it I put an 850m in, but it will only let me have the 1080p screen as it says the 720p one is incompatible, which I'm pretty sure is a load of rubbish since the resolution shouldn't affect the gpu. Does anyone know why I can't...
