    PCSPECIALIST STUDENT - Build and discount help please

    I'm very sure there are no student discounts available at PCS. You'd need to go to an overpriced vendor like Dell to get that :cool:

    PCSPECIALIST Opinions on a 'Gaming on Max settings' PC while streaming as well as Video Editing.

    The M.2 NVMe would make a significant difference. The memory is more questionable I would say. I think AMD processors are more sensitive to higher RAM speeds.

    PCSPECIALIST Opinions on a 'Gaming on Max settings' PC while streaming as well as Video Editing.

    Definetely go for a M.2 NVMe storage for the boot/Windows drive. Also I would recommend upgrading to 3200Mhz rated memory.

    PCSPECIALIST New 3900/3080 build

    Scott, I am also wondering why it's better to go with the 3200 memory instead of the 3600.

    PCSPECIALIST New 3900/3080 build

    Are you sure the X-570F doesn't support AMD Zen3? I'm pretty sure it does. I would highly recommend waiting at least until 8th Oct to see what AMD announces before ordering.

    PCSPECIALIST New PC shut down advice!

    Unless you're using a lot of apps/windows that you like to leave open betweens sessions, it's probably better to shut it down. Must be great to move to a desktop that's so fast to boot up.

    PCSPECIALIST High end gaming PC - please sanity check spec

    Thanks :) I think you have a preference for a higher FOV and I prefer to have a higher resolution. It's all about the higher quality visuals for me and if you need a higher field of view, just turn your head. In sim racing, I think it matters even more because you're mostly looking straight...

    Let's see what happens - I'll still have my Valve Index when the HP G2 arrives so I'll be able to make a better choice/comparison then. This is interesting... ]

    PCSPECIALIST High end gaming PC - please sanity check spec

    Thanks for the feedback Scott The main reason for ordering the HP Reverb G2 is for the resolution upgrade. I tried the original HP Reverb and the resolution is much better than the Value. I just couldn't stand the terrible sound / software IPD adjustment and Windows Mixed Reality setup so I...

    PCSPECIALIST High end gaming PC - please sanity check spec

    My budget is £2750. The PC will be used 90% of the time to play a simulation / game called iRacing.com. I use the Valve Index VR headset most of the time but I also have a triple 1080 monitor set up. I have a HP Reverb G2 headset on order which has a significantly higher resolution. VR is very...

    PCSPECIALIST High end gaming PC - please sanity check spec

    You're right, the sound card is not a necessity but for the cost (£28), it's useful to have a decicated option as the system I use, still requires front/rear/left/right sound output (not USB) to run 4 transducers which is set up for pedals / seat / left car / right car vibrations. I'm more...

    PCSPECIALIST High end gaming PC - please sanity check spec

    That's exacly right, the sim reads the telemetry data from the wheel on the car and sends a signal to the sound card. This allows you to 'feel' every bump in the road, get a sensation of the engine throttle and even give you a jolt when you crash! This will give you a good idea of how it works

    Thanks for your advice. My error with the 3090 comment as it's actually a 3080 I'm planning to order. The sound card is to power some vibration transducers for my racing rig.

    PCSPECIALIST High end gaming PC - please sanity check spec

    Couple of things to mention about this order: 1) I'm going to send in my own case in - Lian Li PC-O11DW 2) The cooler is going to be swapped out for a NZXT Kraken X73. I'm just waiting for a quote from them 3) As I've got an ASUS 3080 requested, I'm assuming the order will be fullfilled sometime...
