Have you done any research into a new PC? 32GB is widely considered standard for gaming now. There are numerous YouTube videos on the subject. Unfortunately components are just more expensive these days than previously and €1000 just wouldn't get you anything worthwhile. My advice would be to...

Gaming PC's? Do you have a link to a thread?

I would definitely get rid of this asap. Windows Defender is all you need these days and Norton is one level down from malware to be honest.

At this point, I think anyone wanting a top of the line rig, like you do with that budget, should be waiting for a) the 5000 series cards to be released and b) the new X3D chips. Both of which are imminent. Unless you're absolutely desperate for it right now, I'd wait. It's a huge outlay for...

Why would you rather air cool it?

The above build also has: - An old processor, made by an untrustworthy company - A microATX motherboard - Slow RAM - Only one, small storage drive - An under-powered power supply, which doesn't allow for future upgrades - A non-recommended CPU cooler Although not impossible to put together a...

You're not going to be able to put together a custom PC for that sort of budget. Ideally, for 1080p, you'd need £1,500, 1440p you'd need £2,000 and 4K you're looking at £2,500. I think at that price, you'd be better off going for a console. Or saving a bit more money and coming back in a few...

Have you ordered this already?

Every time I think I've seen it all, the world surprises me again. This has to be a troll thread. I refuse to believe otherwise.

Max budget? You've not really given us much information in order to advise properly.

Only three and a half years too late! I thought these bots were getting MORE sophisticated, not less!

I think you quoted the wrong post. I haven't laughed at you. I definitely think that you should have contacted PCS before anyone else, but that's done so no use pointing blame. Good luck with the RMA.

You've posted on a forum where no-one works for PCS, this is a community run space. But you knew that, hence the question of "will they approve it". As mentioned, your best bet is to contact PCS. You really should have done that before anything else, and certainly before contacting Microsoft...

I've had a Zotac 3080 since release and never had any problems with performance or noise.

Interesting, thank you. I'd not heard of that before. Shame it didn't catch on to be honest.

Why would you need a USB-c port on a graphics card?

I would also go for two SSD's. One for the OS and one for apps/games.

We only have the same information as everyone else. The configurator currently says 12/10/2024 as the date new stock comes in. What we don't know is how quickly that stock will go due to the backlog of orders, so if you want one, be quick!

It's a fair point. I was just thinking from a 'no one plays one game forever' point of view. But you're right, it could wait, for now.
