It depends which case you go with- PCS Spectrum RGB & Lian Li 215: Button on case Corsair 220T: Corsair iCUE Software Cooler Master TD500: Either button on case or Motherboard Software, in this case ASUS Armoury Crate. This choice will br up to the builder, although can be changed by you if...

Just thought I’d jump in, if the “(but if you were to get the 4000D case, change this to the H115i to fit better)” comment is implying the H115i will then be fit in the top, then you’ll want to go for The non-RGB RAM. The 280mm’s only fit in the top with Low Profile RAM which the Corsair RGB...

The ARGB colours on what? You’ve got quite a lot of it in your build 😂 It’s worth it if you’ve got a high end CPU, totally. But with a 12400F it’s not thermally demanding at all so doesn’t require fancy expensive cooler- you’d be better off spending your money elsewhere.

2017 isn't that old for a PC, I'm on 8th gen intel which released in 2017 and still finding it perfectly capable. If you're able to post the spec in text format that'd be great. Should just be Log in > Order Details box > Press Show on relevant order > Scroll to bottom and press "Post Spec to...

With the components you've got in here, 2 fans would be fine for the 4000D, you can add them if you'd like but it's not a must. Comments I'd make on the build above -If you're looking for an RGB case, I'd go for an RGB case, it doesn't make much sense to have a non-RGB case then add RGB, it...

That's an interesting set of drives! I'm a little divided on what to suggest. I reckon, providing you're able to get away with 250GB as an OS drive, I'd use that as an OS drive (our normal recommendation would be 500GB) then you could use the 1TB SSHD as a general storage (documents, videos...

Sorry, just re-reading, I realised you mentioned it in your original post! One thing I didn't ask is about your budget, what are you looking to spend on this PC? That's probably the most important question!

As some of you have may already heard, Michael Masi has been removed as Race Director for Formula 1. He'll be replaced by Niels Wittich (DTM) and Eduardo (WEC) Freitas along with Herbie Blash acting as Permenant Senior Advisor. They'll also be implimenting a "Virtual Race Control Room", like...

The main way you prepare a build for a certain res and refresh is by changing the GPU. For 1440p 144hz, you'd go for the 3060TI or 3070 so realistically, we're just changing bits around that. For monitors, our current recommendations are the Dell S2721DGF and Gigabyte M27Q. Any questions, ask...

Heya! Looks like a pretty strong start! Just a quick question first, what sizes and formats (SATA? NVME?) are the SSD's you plan to install?

Thanks for the info! Is there any way you might be able to stretch that monitor budget another £100 or so? You've got quite a healthy budget for a nice 1440p system with £1500 but decent 1440p 144hz monitors are currently about £280-320 and I don't think we'd quite be able to save enough to get...

Heya! you've posted your previous build in a way that means we'll need to log into your account to see the build. If you follow this and scroll down it'll show you how to post a build you already own. I'd be curious to see the specs as you might well be able to make use of PCS' upgrade system...

Heya! Some optimisations we could do here! Is there any particular reason you haven't gone Intel? They currently hold the performance crown and would work nicely for your uses. Also, the monitor you mention- what's the refresh rate of said monitor (60hz? 144hz?) and when do you plan to upgrade...

Heya! Certainly some areas we could improve here. A few questions before we assist ho -What monitor will you be using with this build? Do you already have one or will you buy buying one as part of or aside from the budget here? (either make and model or resolution and refresh rate would be...

Agree with all of the above stated by @sck451 This is probably what you'd be looking at if you were to take the advice on board Case FRACTAL MESHIFY 2 LIGHT TEMPERED GLASS Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i7 12-Core Processor i7-12700K (3.6GHz) 25MB Cache 100% agree with this, the 12900K adds a...

This was exactly my response when I saw the price for the first time and depressingly the high price tag seems to just be "It's got more Corsair RGB". When it's almost the price of three Corsair 5000X's it just doesn't make sense- I'm sure it'll sell but I really hope this isn't the start of a...

Earlier today, Corsair announced a cousin to the 5000D- the 5000T. It comes with a slightly different design, 3 LL120 RGB fans and some RGB inlets around the edge but at £350 it's stomach churningly expensive. It'd be interesting to see if PCS adds it so we can see what insane markup Corsair has...

As the title suggests, today is my 1 year anniversary of advising on the PCS Forum! I'd just like to say a moment to thank all the fantastic friends I've made along the way, the mods for keeping this place great and the admins for giving us an awesome place to hang out. I've really enjoyed my...

Heya! Some changes we could make here, but first, some more info would be great! 1) Budget- What are you looking to spend? A figure would be great 2) Monitor- What monitor will be paired with this system? Either make and model or resolution and refresh rate would be ideal! 3) Uses- You've...

Looks ready to go to me!
