The rules are quite simple. We ask for full specs of any current PC to ensure that it's not stolen and that the user asking the questions has access to the account. More than that, without access to the account, you don't have access to the relevant downloads for that particular PC. The advice...

I'm much more of a visual learner. YouTube is your friend. There'll be countless videos explaining the exact process.

Then you should have access to the account that ordered the PC.

I think you might be getting your CPU's and your GPU's muddled up.

What does casual gaming even mean? Someone that only plays games 3 hours a week? Someone that doesn't take gaming too seriously? Anyone that doesn't play professionally? It probably doesn't matter. The 7800x3d is the best gaming chip on the market at the moment, that's the bottom line. A quick...

I've used DDG for a long time now and haven't had any issues.

These days it’s an easy decision. Intel processors are broken and have a multitude of issues. The only answer is AMD, who have really come to the top of the market since you last bought a CPU. https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/intel-13th-and-14th-gen-confirmed-defective.96599/...

I've made a couple of subtle changes, but nothing crazy. It does come to slightly over budget, but not by much. Case FRACTAL FOCUS 2 ARGB GAMING CASE (BLACK) - no change Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Eight Core CPU (4.2GHz-5.0GHz/104MB w/3D V-CACHE/AM5) - no change Motherboard ASUS® TUF...

Once the finance is accepted and set up, you'll receive various emails from the finance company, detailing your agreement. As part of that, you'll get your log in details where you can access your account and make payments.

I do love a bit of RGB bling, but much prefer the non-RGB motherboards for some reason. They feel a lot cleaner, so the Lite could be the way I go. The Nova and the Riptide, which will be a bit more budget friendly, look solid too. I watched some of the ASRock content from Computex and was...

I like the ASRock Taichi and have purposely been waiting for the new AMD chips, new GPU’s and motherboards to come out before I fully upgrade. I do like nice, new, shiny things!

Without knowing the monitor you’re going to be using, there’s very little progress to be made. The level of monitor dictates the level of graphics card used as they’re directly linked. Without a max budget at the very least, there’s nothing we can do to help. What does “gaming mostly” mean...

In the same way that the wand chooses the wizard, the monitor chooses the graphics card.

This is way above my knowledge level, so I’ll let the others take this one, but just wanted to say how good it is to see someone actually doing some research, and looking around the forum, before posting. It doesn’t happen too often so was quite refreshing to see! I’m sure I’m not the only one...

I mean, it’ll work. But what do you need it to do? Is the build for gaming or music production? Video editing? Streaming? Any kind of work-based productivity? What monitor will you be using with the build? Make, model, refresh rate and resolution. What’s your max budget? If you need a new...

I would also strongly, STRONGLY, recommend that you split your SSD’s as well. Smaller, quicker drive for your OS and larger, slightly slower, but still fast, secondary drive for games. Not only will it keep your drives from getting too full and losing performance, if anything does go wrong...
