    PCSPECIALIST Pc For My Girlfriend

    Okay thanks for the advice its been very helpful! I'm pretty sure I have the 750w one in my PC I bought in July and its been great although I think the less expensive option for my girlfriend is probably more suitable as I think the sims games are designed with lower end hardware in mind so I...

    PCSPECIALIST Pc For My Girlfriend

    Thanks for the help, one question I have is about the power supply. Do you think going that high is absolutely necessary? The design page says it only needs 244w although I understand the high wattage gives a lot more room for upgrading later. Just thinking she is unlikely to ever really need...

    PCSPECIALIST Pc For My Girlfriend

    Okay thats good to know, this design was just based off of a website I found that calculates average FPS for games but if you don't think this would work I would love to see what you recommend! I also checked the cooling on my PC which has made me think I've went overboard on this one.

    The PC is back to working as of now thankfully so I've moved everything I need for uni over to my laptop. Was gonna do a full backup to an external hard drive but I don't have £40-50 to spend on one at the moment unfortunately as I've just bought a car.

    Hello again, I was waiting until this happened again to take a photo but all was well for a while. Just a moment ago though I was plugging in a USB-c plug into the pc (just a Bluetooth thing for my wireless headset) and the full PC shut down and will not start again at all. Any recommendations...

    Sorry for the late reply had a busy few days, I'm not actually to sure what it is but whenever I start my PC after this happens and it actually works, it doesn't just load straight into windows. Some boot up thing which I thought said BIOS startup (although i could be wrong) comes up and i have...

    PCSPECIALIST Future Proof Gaming PC?

    Yeah 1080 144fps and £1600 is my limit, I'd preferably like it to be a bit cheaper if possible and yes just for gaming, anything else I do will just be web based like watching youtube etc so nothing to worry about there. Thanks for the quick reply!
