    PCSPECIALIST Trying to build a £850 Gaming PC Need Help!

    You could save money on the motherboard, for general gaming you don't need the x570 and there are other areas you could strengthen with the savings. Better case, better GPU, at least Silver Warranty, faster RAM etc. It's is taking so much of your budget that by saving there you could vastly...

    PCSPECIALIST Rate my new PC

    You are going to spend that much but only £19 on the case? You need a better case, the crosshair will not offer much extra for your uses compared to a lower priced 570 motherboard. Consider a M2 NVME drive also?

    PCSPECIALIST Dev PC Ordered :D

    The Configurator won't allow the Corsair to be chosen in the 2nd M2 slot for some reason. Think it's just a configurator issue. OS on the 250GB and the 1TB M2 is for my projects.

    PCSPECIALIST New Dev PC, thoughts please?

    Oh yes, the 3950x seems ideal for my needs... not ideal for my impatience though :D But you're right, I should wait. I assume that there isn't anything Intel in the pipeline which could compare at this price point?

    PCSPECIALIST Autobots roll out

    The beauty of this case is that the side panels easily unclip and reattach just as easily, some views of the PC including a look at the Zotac 970 and H100i in place. Next I did a quick check for loose connections and that everything was stable, seated right and ready for action...it was...

    PCSPECIALIST Autobots roll out

    Finally we get a glimpse of the PC... Nestled in it's own box, surrounded by foam packaging. Like some sort of Xzibit gag we get a box within a box because we like boxes while we box. More foam packing, the PC is snug and sound. Freedom at last, I get my first unobstructed view of my...

    I will attempt an answer on this however I don't use any of the software you mentioned. I would have a few questions which may influence my advice such as: How much research have you done regarding the GPU choice? Is a 960 going to have enough grunt for the applications you plan to run? Any...

    PCSPECIALIST Review section idea - configure without losing discount

    Hello all, I've been thinking about this today. Now I can totally understand if there is a reviewed model that a set price has been decided upon and any change to this would result in the discount being lost, it makes sense. However it only really makes sense if it applies to the Case, Core...
