    PCSPECIALIST First Gaming PC - Advice would be appreciated

    No problem, happy to help. If ordering from PCS, the Frostflow 100 or 150 will be ample. If you game with headphones on though, it’s unlikely that it’ll be an issue, although obviously some people are more sensitive to background sounds than others so no guarantee either way! 🙂

    PCSPECIALIST Looking to get an opinion on this build

    Awesome, thanks for the clarification regarding capture card and Windows, your choices make a lot more sense now. Nothing has been confirmed regarding the 4070ti, although a lot of rumours are indeed pointing to January 5th for the release date. With all new releases, I would always encourage...

    Couldn’t quite keep it to £1100. It’s better off spending a little more than having to spend twice by shortchanging yourself. Case LIAN LI LANCOOL 215 GAMING CASE Much better case, the 4000D airflow is a cheaper option if you don’t care about RGB. Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 5600 Six Core CPU...

    PCSPECIALIST Looking to get an opinion on this build

    With this sort of budget this is definitely a have it all spec. You can go all out in every component area without breaking your budget. Main change I made was dropping the GPU down to a 3070, firstly because the 3080 is currently out of stock, but also because if you’re only upgrading to...

    Absolutely, definitely better to spend a bit more and only have to spend right, rather than cut back on components and then needing to upgrade sooner rather than later. Merry Christmas! 🙂

    If you can stretch the budget to £1400, this is the sort of 1440p gaming system you should be aiming for.

    PCSPECIALIST First PC ordered - are the fans OK?

    Hi there, Pretty solid spec, but I would recommend some changes while it’s still in pre production to get a bit more bang for your buck. You can make amendments at no extra cost or without losing your place in the queue up until your PC goes into building. To help us make these recommendations...

    PCSPECIALIST New desktop build - for 1440p gaming.

    Hi there, Not a bad attempt but there’s room for improvement. The 6800XT is going to be more than enough for 1440p gaming. Your RAM is quite slow, I would recommend the 6000mhz RAM as that is the sweet spot recommended by AMD. I would recommend a 500/512GB Primary Drive, the 980 pro is a great...

    PCSPECIALIST Is this a good build for a £1000 budget?

    If you're only gaming on the 5600 any air cooler will be fine. If you were doing some more intensive stuff like rendering or editing it would be advisable to get a higher end air cooler or AIO, but I mainly went for the Frostflow 150 as it's a solid cooler that's also in stock. For your use...

    PCSPECIALIST Any opinions much appreciated

    What’s your budget? What are you using the PC for? Can you post the full build with the config link? I can already see some areas that could be optimised from what you’ve posted above.

    PCSPECIALIST Is this a good build for a £1000 budget?

    Wary that we’re a little over budget, unfortunately components still aren’t the cheapest. Case LIAN LI LANCOOL 215 GAMING CASE Much better airflow case Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 5600 Six Core CPU (3.5GHz-4.4GHz/35MB CACHE/AM4) Saves around £40 without massively impacting gaming performance...

    PCSPECIALIST just ordered

    Pretty strong system, but there are some areas I would recommend changing before it goes into build. What was your budget for the system? What are you going to be using the PC for? What monitor are you pairing this with?

    PCSPECIALIST Anybody have any notes on this build? Looking to upgrade and get a new PC finally mainly for Darktide and other similar titles.

    Monitor wise you have a few options. At the top end you can get something like the Samsung G7 Neo which gets you a QD-LED true HDR gaming experience. That is a bit pricey at £1100 but has had fantastic reviews. At the low end you can go all the way down to the £450 Gigabyte M28U, which while...

    Power Supply CORSAIR 1000W RMx SERIES™ - MODULAR 80 PLUS GOLD, ULTRA QUIET Good to spec the PSU a little higher to better handle transient spikes. It also means it isn’t running close to max capacity for long periods which is when the most wear and tear takes place, and it gives a bit of...

    Case COOLERMASTER MASTERBOX TD500 MESH ARGB GAMING CASE Case selection isn’t the best right now, you do have the option to send in your own case, which might be a good option so you have a good airflow case that can fit the chonky 4080.

    With a 3.5-4K budget I’m a bit confused as to why you’re looking to stay at 1080p? For new systems we tend to try and fit in to 1440p as a minimum, with this sort of budget you can comfortably get a 4k gaming PC plus a monitor to match. 4K is much more affordable these days, with a decent...

    Hi there, Unfortunately component prices aren't the cheapest right now but we should be able to spec you out something without cutting too many corners.
