    PCSPECIALIST Wi-Fi Query

    My new PC shipped today and it has a wi-fi connection provided by the on-board Asus motherboard. An accompanying PCS email surprised me by giving details on how to connect the wi-fi antenna to the PC. I have been using PCS equipment, both gaming PC and Laptop, with Asus motherboards containing...

    PCSPECIALIST New PC Worries

    For several weeks I have been building an Intel based system on the PCS website. Several comments have come back that an AMD system would be better. Below is my first attempt at an AMD system in around 50 years. My usage is circa 70% gaming, 18% text/web browsing and 12% watching videos. The...

    With an i7-14700k, 32Gb RAM running on an Asus Z790-F Motherboard, would a RTX 4070Ti be best when running on a 1440p monitor. The RTX 4080 looks nice but it's so expensive. Over the next year I am probably using this set up on 70% gaming, 18% text/web browsing, 12% watching videos.

    My 1440p monitor has HDMI 2.0 and Display Port 1.4 so when I connect to my PC’s RTX 4080 which has HDMI 2.1 and Display Port 1.4a I presume the HDMI difference would limit my refresh rate to 144Hz. However my monitor can go to a refresh rate of 280Hz so if I connect the monitor display port to...

    I was about to place my PC order when I noticed the price difference with the RTX 4080 Graphics Cards. What is the difference between the Asus TUF GeForce RTX 4080 OC Edition and the Nvidia equivalents (Palit or Zotac branded) as there is a £227 price difference between them.

    Thanks. I would struggle to put an AMD spec together as I've been Intel since the days of the IBM486. Could you give me some help? What monitor would you recommend I look at? I have limited space on my desk and could possibly squeeze a sightly bigger monitor in. Would the 27" Asus 279Q1A be...

    PCSPECIALIST New PC Worries

    My last desktop from PCS was around 8 years ago and is now starting to show its age. After a lot of changes to my spec the end result is below. It will be used for 85% gaming, typically looter/shooters like Borderlands 3, Doom Eternal, etc. The remaining 15% is M/S Office and watching videos...

    PCSPECIALIST New PC Worries

    Over the years I have bought a lot of equipment from PCS and am about to get a fairly high spec gaming PC. My big, big worry is that I will now need to get liquid cooling, probably the Corsair H100i. The H100i certainly has impressive cooling capabilities, but my worries centre on leaks...

However when I go through the Windows 10 route to get to the correct screen [Settings -> Update & Security -> ...Advanced Startup menu...

    PCSPECIALIST Monitor Options

    I will shortly be buying a very hi-spec pc but the smaller associated monitors (c22") seem to be poor standards. The reviews (if any) on the wider internet are not very favourable. Which 22" monitor would be recommended for 40% gaming, 40% videos and 20% general office stuff. A TN would...
