You can save a good chunk of change here without losing any gaming performance. Case CORSAIR iCUE 5000X RGB MID TOWER GAMING CASE Functionally the same as the 5000D, but has a slightly different front panel, and comes with more fans. Between the included fans and the 360mm cooler you’ll be set...

I would recommend quite a few changes to be honest. Give this a read https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/please-read-before-posting-collaboration-of-helpful-hints.77691/ And then please let us know your budget, uses for the PC and the monitor you’re pairing this with, and we’ll see if...

The CPU is nearly 3 years old and 2 generations out of date, the case is very budget and will toast your components. What we can do is spec you a new build which you can save as a quote, and then ring up PCS and swap it across without losing your queue place, although with it only being ordered...

With a 2.3k budget I would definitely be thinking 1440p. Trimmed down the above build and assuming you have a windows license to transfer you can fit a 1440p gaming build in as well as a new 1440p into budget. Good picks include the Asus VG27AQ, the Gigabyte M27Q, and the Dell S2721DGF, with a...

With the current 12th generation Intel are performing better than AMD, so they're the CPU pick at the moment. AMD is also at the end of its current platform, so there are fewer upgrade options, while Intel has at least one more generation on the current motherboard, so has more room for...

No worries, happy to help. With console gaming in mind I would probably be leaning towards 4k over Ultrawide. Hardware Unboxed have done a great video recently on 4k monitors which is worth a look. The two that stand out are the Gigabyte M32U and the MSI MPG321UR-QD. Both are great IPS monitors...

There's a few options you can go with your budget. The below is a strong all-round gaming CPU, which will perform very nicely with your current 1080p display, and has the room to fit a GPU and monitor upgrade down the line if you want. £1800 also has the scope to go for a 1440p gaming build by...

Hi there, Firstly, I wouldn't recommend that spec as the 10900X is not a good CPU at all and there are far better options on the market from both Intel and AMD. I would recommend giving the following a read...

Hi there, Not a bad first attempt but could do with some optimisation before you click buy. I would recommend giving the following a read: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/please-read-before-posting-collaboration-of-helpful-hints.77691/ And then please could you tell us your budget...

First of, the current build will do you fine, as one would expect when spending that much. Firstly, I would question whether you need 64GB of RAM. Unless you're doing some very intensive video editing 32GB should handle your needs. You might be better suited to going for 2x16GB sticks of...

For balance, this is the Intel equivalent. Slightly more expensive as the 12600k requires a decent motherboard and a better cooler compared to the 5700X. Case LIAN LI LANCOOL 215 GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i5 10-Core Processor i5-12600K (3.7GHz) 20MB Cache Motherboard ASUS® TUF...

Cut back on a couple of areas to get it down to £1k, but still comes out as a well balanced build. Case LIAN LI LANCOOL 215 GAMING CASE The 5000X is an awesome case, but is also quite pricey when you only have £1k to play with. The 215 still has some RGB and is fantastic value Processor (CPU)...

12700k is a fantastic all round CPU, excellent for both gaming and productivity. As mentioned above DDR5 isn’t quite optimised to beat out DDR4 memory, and when it does it does at a huge premium. 32GB of 3600mhz RAM will be great for your uses. Anything above the 10GB 3080 goes into the land of...

For the benefit of OP, the suggested changes above are excellent and would be a big step in the right direction 🙂

Just got back from terrorising the neighbours 😂 So suggestions above are very sensible. Another 2 sticks of RAM would be helpful for any editing you want to do. For your CPU/GPU, it depends on what’s holding you back at the moment. For a primarily gaming based system this is almost certainly...

So the 5800X3D has quite a limited niche. It is there to give the best gaming performance out of any Ryzen CPU, which it has achieved. As a result of the extra cache it has lower clock speeds and as a result it performs slightly worse than the 5800X, and worse than the 12700K in a lot of...

Very strong build above, nicely specced to smash gaming for the next few years. RAM-wise for 4K gaming you won't see a difference, having 4 sticks might benefit slightly in productivity tasks but for GPU bound 4k gaming either will work fine. 4 sticks look nice to fill up your slots if that...

There are a few bits I would change to be honest. If you could please answer the following it'll help us spec us something to your needs. What is your budget? What are you using it for besides gaming? e.g Streaming, Editing, Rendering etc What monitor are you pairing this with? Make and Model...

Obviously this is your build, and your money, and you're welcome to spend it however you would like. Keeping the 3080ti in the build does eat up a sizable chunk of your budget. I've rejigged a few areas so the rest of the build is well balanced so that in my opinion you're not compromising the...

Hi there, Healthy budget to go with, but the build could do with some adjustments. What monitor are you pairing with this? The 3080ti is a beast of a GPU, and it really warrants a 4k 144hz display, or 1440p Superwide like the G9 to make the most of. You will inevitably need to upgrade the GPU...
