    PCSPECIALIST Suggestions for a 2.0 / 2.1 set of PC speakers?

    There are a lot of very positive reviews for these speakers on various HiFi sites, so I've ordered a pair. Will let you know what I think once they turn up and I've given them a go.

    PCSPECIALIST Cable MISmanagement - How to Stress Out AgentCooper

    My PCS build is in pre-prod so I think it is time to start documenting my journey from this... ...to something hopefully a little more organised and presentable! This is mostly the PCS system I ordered 8 and a half years ago (‘Overkill’ in my sig), with the GTX 690 upgraded to a 1080 and a...

    PCSPECIALIST Opinions on graphics card, since I got the wrong one lol

    Don't worry about the GFX card -- the Asus is a brand of graphics card that uses the base Nvidia chip. Asus generally have a good rep.

    PCSPECIALIST Suggestions for a 2.0 / 2.1 set of PC speakers?

    Unfortunately I don't have the space for a HiFi system (good or otherwise!), nor the time to sit and enjoy one if I did. I have a working desk off to the side of my PC and do non-pc work on there most evenings and like to have some music on in the background. Occasionally I'll end up watching TV...

    PCSPECIALIST Suggestions for a 2.0 / 2.1 set of PC speakers?

    Many thanks for both suggestions -- the Creative pebbled aren't too bad :) . I'll look into both as options.

    PCSPECIALIST Suggestions for a 2.0 / 2.1 set of PC speakers?

    Not quite sure where this should sit, so adding here for the moment but willing to repost elsewhere if more appropriate. I'm looking for a set of 2.0 or 2.1 speakers to pair with my new build, but I have absolutely no idea where to start or what I should be looking out for! :confused: For my...

    PCSPECIALIST New Build, Corsair 5000D, Strix 570, 5900X, 32GB RAM

    I've ordered a very similar setup -- same case, MB, RAM and cooling. Did you add any extra fans yourself and have you solved the fit issues with the AIO? I'm wondering if I need a different case to give more room.

    PCSPECIALIST Looking for suggestions on CPU / motherboard options

    So, I think I have made a decision on the monitor front... sort of! Spent some time this afternoon measuring out my desk space and collecting monitor sizes, specs, etc. I drew an outline of the desk on some graph paper and then cut out the various monitor options to scale to see how they could...

    @DarTon, appreciate the input, even if it does give me more to consider!

    PCSPECIALIST Looking for suggestions on CPU / motherboard options

    Thanks, and yeah, I completely agree which forms part of my dilemma. At the moment I’m running 3 monitors at 1080p, 2x22” and 1x24”, with the larger monitor in the middle. I run these as separate screens rather than configure them as a single logical display via the Nvidia “surround” option...

    PCSPECIALIST Looking for suggestions on CPU / motherboard options

    Moved to pre-production today, so all is good. Completed a quick test on a Win 10 Home system this morning and RDCMan look to cover more than I need, so have moved to the Home edition on the order and added the AX200 card, just in case! Just need to finalise monitor choice now... having...

    PCSPECIALIST Looking for suggestions on CPU / motherboard options

    Thanks all for the replies! Good to know about the cooling -- I'll keep checking in case I can upgrade to the 150i, but won't be concerned if it doesn't come in. Yes, I used RDP to connect to other computers so I'll have a check on the options mentioned and see what works. If it does, I'll...

    PCSPECIALIST Looking for suggestions on CPU / motherboard options

    Working day 4 and in processing... but I've been thinking about cooling. Unfortunately the 3 fan Corsair H150i is not currently available (and I check daily to see if it is!), so I went for the 2 fan H115i instead. That is fine, but I'm wondering if there is benefit of a couple more fans to aid...

    PCSPECIALIST What is your favourite game and...

    I seem to have played a fair bit of Battlefield: Battlefield 3: 315h Battlefield 4: 692h Battlefield 1: 943h Battlefield V: 637h on top of that I think I put in over 3,000 hours into Eve On-line. (we won't talk about the 2,000 hours on Mr. Mine, 5,300 hours on Adventure Capitalist and 17,100...

    PCSPECIALIST Good single player FPS ?

    Bit late to this thread, but the Crysis and Metro series have reasonably well received single player campaigns.

    PCSPECIALIST Looking for suggestions on CPU / motherboard options

    Order is in, 18 to 21 working days which means I should get it just after my birthday. Kidney is up on Etsy (well, I did make it myself!) and will maybe / possibly / probably / definitely be ordering the G9 when I get closer to the PC delivery date. I foolishly looked under my desk after you...
