"Never.... ever........ ever..... buy a GPU with the future in mind. Always buy what you need right now for the level of gaming you want right now. It's easy to think that tomorrow new games will be released but at the same time new technologies will be released.. " Just want to say I agree...

Also worth noting (from a gamer who bought recently but a lower tech build) That the tech train keeps going forward so you will get components coming out next year that will wipe the floor in terms of cost / productivity, so if you have the budget it's best to either power up things like your...

To add my feedback, I would second Nursemorphic here, PCS are very approachable, as they answered all my questions back when I ordered my PC in may during the first couple of months in the covid 19 pandemic which obviously effected lead times. Regarding your hardware I have the Fractal Focus...

I would recommend a surge protector as well and can vouch for a "supermarket" one (although I would say high quality rather than lower quality) and it has done the job a couple of times for when I had an issue with my toaster and it caused a power surge / trip. Makes sense with any PC IMO...

Now I've had a chance to bed in my new PC Specialist PC, I have to say it is great, so thank you to Scott, Spydertracks and the other's who posted recommendations in my Advice on Spec, Please thread. My actual spec is here...

Definitely looks memory swap / page / driver related (the dreaded swap file crashing again) will be interested to know if it turns out.

IRQL not less or equal can mean a bad / corrupted driver installation (from memory) - i.e. pc software that tells hardware (like a camera) how to work on the PC Driver portion must be nonpaged sounds like it follows on from this as it sounds as though the driver is trying to write into the PC...

I've just had my system dispatched and received an e-mail earlier with the tracking information / other documents. I received another e-mail just now re: tomorrow delivery, in it they specially state that the driver is unable to leave this item safe, so I would definitely contact PCS about the...

I've had my PC in production for the last couple of weeks and it's now moved from build to testing (I'm guessing PCS had the stock lying around and I upgraded the hard drive to the 500GB Samsung high speed SSD up from 256GB as the latter was listed in stock) I can say that if you see an orange...

That would make sense, pending on how long the build / order process takes. Thanks for your advice (I already added a sub-order of including a windows 10 pro license in the build as while I have windows 10 licenses they are tied to machine digital entitlements which cover just that machine...

I was looking into the increase of lead times to build / produce the desktop so I decided to order the PC as is and will sort out the monitor separately, but thanks for your advice Scott and you Spydertracks (I still plan to go for the IIYAMA G-MASTER GB2760QSU-B1 27" as soon as it's available...

Thanks for your advice, is there a way to keep the build active, as I don't like the idea of it expiring before 6th June although I guess I can navigate back to this thread easily enough.

OK Thanks Scott, I'll think I'll go for the 2070 super whatever happens and will likely go for the upper end option (my other idea was to go with the PC build without the monitor and work with my existing one for three months while I build up my "frittery" savings but it makes sense to get...

"Upgrading the card at a later date is fine but if you are going with a 1440p monitor you may want to get the most out of it for a couple of years before having/wanting to upgrade." Did you mean if I go with the cheaper card use that for a couple of years with the 1440p monitor before upgrading...

OK thanks Scott, Will need to adjust the case as forgot to add the DVD-RW drive (I have a large DVD archive of some games that haven't been digitised yet and do audio ripping of CDs I own for .flac files). Can you recommend a case that is easy to access if I upgrade the Card at at later date...

Hello Scott, The build you mention looks good, with the parts you picked I could spend more on the monitor and leave the GTX 2060 as it is as £1,149.00 is at the lower end of the budget I had planned. As you are picking the Ryzen 5 does this mean it would last a few years? note I'm tolerant...

I would say the budget for the PC would be around £1,100-1370 but if it's better to include the monitor as well possibly £1,370-£1,570. However my main plan is to get a PC that can satisfy 1440p then add the monitor later, I do appreciate that it seems over-speced when I am currently using 1080p...

Gaming, not a business desktop at all, although will use office for outlook (I have my own licenses for office 365 home / windows 10 that I plan to transfer over) - the idea is to get a decent PC around the budget above that is mid range but future proof (hence my questions about motherboard /...

Possibly up to the £200 range but would prefer to stick closer to around £150-160 (basically if I can get something functional and less flashy it would be better but again any suggestions welcome - planning to sort the PC first then monitor second)

Good Evening Spydertracks. I'm currently using an older BenQ GL2450H, which does the job, it isn't the best in the world but I was planning to get this separately as I'm confident I could find a decent monitor on my own (although if anyone knows of good ones to get with this spec range the...
