Others have far more expertise than me, but... 16GB of RAM is normally enough for gaming so unlikely to need 32GB unless playing flight sims 500GB primary drive for OS is normally recommended, so that it's kept below half full for maximum efficiency 850W RMx PSU, or even 1000W if you can...

Also, when I pulled the trigger the Intel 670p was out of stock so have got the Samsung 970 EVO as the OS drive, even faster!

Thanks for the advice everyone, I went with the full size motherboard, and the 3600MHz RAM and second M.2 1TB drive (sourced elsewhere) and kept it at £850 all in - being delivered today. I stuck with the Silencio case, as it has the most 3.5 inch bays and also a 5.25 bay (still burning CDs and...

Also, what PSU and cooling options have you gone for? It's helpful for others if you list the full spec with the link at the bottom - see the pinned post on How to post your specification to the forums

Hi there, a few comments on your choices (others might set out full specs) You should get a better case, the PCS ones aren't good for airflow to keep things running cool, the LIAN LI LANCOOL 215 GAMING CASE is commonly recommended for budget builds You'd ideally want a 512GB primary drive to...

Oops, just seen you said £1,650 absolute max, but if you could find a bit more to upgrade the CPU it would be worth it

I think you would be better with a more powerful processor, the 12600KF would be more suitable for your needs and is only £83 more so would still keep it under £1,700

Thanks for the comments so far I should have added that I have 3 HDDs to transfer over into the new PC, so hadn't specified additional storage over the 1st M.2 drive yet, although over time I'll move these over onto another M.2 and SSDs as budget allows Would 3200MHz RAM make much of a...

The i5-2500 PC I got from PCS 10 years ago is still trundling on but I felt it was time for an upgrade!! Use is general office/home use and some light gaming on older titles (nothing recent) with a 1080p 60Hz monitor. I've got a 1050 ti card in my current PC which I'll put into the new one, and...

Seeking advice about the following spec for teenage son for homework and gaming, looking to get something for under £700 ideally. Thought SSD would give much faster start-up performance, and have got old hard drives I can put in for extra storage. But bit torn regarding the GPU between the...

Saw this on the BBC website, wonder if any PCS staff saw or whether they're too busy rushing orders out before Christmas ... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-16302606

I ordered a PC last week as didn't want to get caught by any further increases in hard drive prices, and looking at the configurator today it seems hard drive prices have fallen - 500GB Cavier Black seems to be down £10 and 1TB Caviar Black seems substantially lower Was wondering if I can take...

Any thoughts on the spec below for a home/office PC and some gaming (not looking to play the latest games on max settings, but maybe Crossfire a 2nd 6870 in a year or two), budget around £750? Looking to order soon before HDD prices go up any more Case COOLERMASTER ELITE 310 BLUE CASE...

Hi I've just taken delivery of a Mirage laptop and can't find how to access the wireless network adapter to access the internet. The only thing that appears in Network and Sharing Centre and in Device Manager is Realtek pcie gbe family controller. Any ideas on where I'm going wrong? Cheers Matt

Hello I'm in need of a new PC to replace my five year old Pentium 4 PC. It will be used for office work, video editing (ideally rendering video while I'm working) and some gaming. I'm working my way through old games at the moment so don't need a new graphics card - I've got a 9600GT in my old...
