Hey guys.
This is actually my third time buying a PC from PC Specialist. My first was in 2012, second in 2018 and here I am preparing for another.
I have used Intel and Nvidia for my last two builds but thinking of switching to AMD.
Grateful for your thoughts on the below build. My budget is £1,800 inc VAT. I have gone over ever so slightly in my build but the second drive is not essential as I have a fair few already which I could add in.
I have two 1080p monitors which are HDMI. Currently, I connect one via a HDMI to DVI converter. Checking the motherboard below, it looks like that will be the case again. Is there a decent motherboard that supports two HDMIs?
This build is mostly for gaming, but would also be used for Affinity Photo, Publisher, Design, etc.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
