    PCSPECIALIST My first PC, looking for feedback

    The Intel i5 12400f is better and cheaper, motherboards are a little more problematic being more expensive. Check out a few reviews of the Intel chip although, to be honest either would probably serve. One thing to bear in mind (if it bothers you) is that the AMD chip should / might be replaced...

    PCSPECIALIST My first PC, looking for feedback

    A couple of things (just to kick off), I would put faster RAM in, Ryzen loves fast RAM. I think you need a better PSU, there's no headroom at all there. And I would buy a set of creative pebble speakers, much better. Or, have you looked down the Intel route at all?

    PCSPECIALIST computer crashing when playing games.

    My own (personal) opinion is that I wouldn't install the crate at all. If any of you ever wondered what Satan's little imps do on their day off, it's design software like this.

    PCSPECIALIST CPU cooler prevents using all memory slots

    Yeah, that's a chonky boy. So chonky it may well work perfectly well as the above suggests and switch the fan round. Try it and monitor temps before and after. Worth a punt I reckon.

    PCSPECIALIST PC suddenly turned itself off!?

    I'm afraid that without seeing the full build spec we're just going to be speculating as to the cause. Help us to help you.

    Irish archaeologists believe they've found a headstone for the oldest living human ever recorded. It's badly worn, but it says he was 193, and known only as Miles from Dublin.

    PCSPECIALIST Spec Check - 1440p Ultrawide / Sim Racing Build

    Looks good, be aware though that the case is a very small form factor, I've got one and think it's great but with an ATX board it's pretty tight. Just check that it's going to be right for you and that the GPU will fit.

    PCSPECIALIST Early reports from retailers is that 12th Gen Intel sales are poor

    AMD has been rightfully popular, partly due to the fact they kept the same chipset. But they have made a consistently good CPU for three gens now. Intel can't claim that.

    PCSPECIALIST Home/office pc

    If, if it was me, I'd get a sata SSD for programs games etc then if poss a HDD for data / photos / videos, maybe use the one out of the old unit? Not sure about OS, as you've registered a copy you can possibly just download windows and it will remember the key.
