Amazing stuff. We would love to see some pics when it arrives! :D

Hi there, As PCSpecialist own these forums we can only discuss PCS systems. If you want upgrade advice I would recommend an open forum such as Tom's Hardware. Alternatively, if you wanted to spec out a new system, retaining your 1080, we can try to spec you something out, if you're happy to...

You bought a PCS system fairly recently, didn't you? Any reason why you're ordering a new system so soon?

Hi George? Do you currently have a system you can run the above programs on? Do you use these programs for professional use? If the answers to the above are NOT “no” and “yes”, I would STRONGLY recommend holding off a couple of months. New AMD CPUs are coming next month, with new GPU releases...

My advice hasn't changed, I would still recommend holding off. As a console gamer, would you have bought a PS4 a couple of months before the PS5 launched? We don't advocate waiting for new products because they're flashy and new, we recommend it because all the signs point to big improvements...

Hi there. What’s your budget, what monitor are you pairing this with, and any uses besides gaming? My main piece of advice would be to hold off though. We are getting new CPUs and GPUs this year and you will be getting better price to performance if you can hold off a few months. If you are...

Hi there, I would definitely recommend some changes here. What is your budget? Any uses besides gaming? Please can you include the config link so it’s easier for us to make changes?

Hi there, It will help if you could please post your specs so that we can see what we’re working with. There are lots of variations of cases, motherboards and GPUs that means we may or may not have an idea if the new SSD will be compatible. Additionally as mentioned above some motherboards have...

As this is an aspirational build I would strongly suggest holding off a few months. We’re getting new generations of CPUs and GPUs later this year and my advice for everyone hasn’t changed: if this a PC you WANT rather than a PC you NEED e.g for work you are better off waiting as you’ll get...

Not a bad first attempt, but definitely room for improvement. What is your budget for the system? What are you going to be using the system for? E.g Gaming, streaming, editing etc

Oh I glossed over that bit in my initial post. Apologies OP, haven’t had my coffee yet! 😂

With a top end build like this I agree with the above, you should be targeting 4K 144hz or Superwide 1440p. The M32U is at the cheaper end, arguably the top pick at the moment is the Samsung G7 Neo. When you get the PC one of the first things I would recommend is disabling Norton, it’s well...

You can use an HDMI to DisplayPort adapter to have 2 HDMI outputs for your monitors. Some GPU models will also have 2 HDMI outputs anyway. 3070ti models typically have 4 total outputs, and depending on the model you get that might be 2 DP and 2 HDMI, or 1 DP and 3 HDMI. You can’t use the output...

By December we’ll have a new generation of both CPUs and GPUs so the market will have changed quite a bit by then. Resurrect this thread a little closer to the time of purchase and we’ll help you spec something out then. 🙂

So firstly, I wouldn’t recommend a small form factor build. Smaller case and parts doesn’t mean smaller price tag. The parts have to be specialised to be more compact which usually makes overheating more common, losing some features that you’ll get in standard size builds, or carrying a heavy...

To go even more budget, please could you let us know what monitor you are using and what games you play? If you are playing indie games and less demanding e-sports titles you could opt for a 5600G and use the integrated graphics for now, and then look out for a good deal on a Nvidia 3000 or AMD...

The RX 6600 is only £24 more than the 2060, but comes with close to 3060 levels of performance. I appreciate that you’re over budget but spending any less would be false economy IMO. You could stick with the stock cooler, the 5600 will run fine with it for gaming. It’ll be a little noisier, as...

If your current PC is usable I would definitely recommend holding off a couple of months. New AMD CPUs are coming next month, with new GPUs from AMD and Nvidia coming later this year. You’re going to get much better bang for your buck then, and with this sort of budget it’s silly to buy now...

A rear airflow won’t be vital as you already have the 3 fans from the case plus the 2 in the AIO, but if you wanted to install one you want to get a Corsair SP120 fan to match. That being said, we might be able to optimise your build a little further if you wanted. If so please let us know your...

Hi there! Glad you’ve got a good amount of use from your old system! Are you able to hold off a little buying a new system? New AMD CPUs are set to release next month, and new AMD and Nvidia GPUs will release later this year. Buying now, especially with this sort of budget, doesn’t make a...
