[Fear]

What is your budget and usage requirements for this PC ? and don't forget to the silver warranty for £5 which extends the 1 month collect and return to a full year.

 

[Omnirat]

I have no budget, that's the PC that is currently being made for me by PCS and I was wondering if there's anything I can add in the near future if not now

 

[Teaz]

okay, so what will it be used for?

 

[Omnirat]

Gaming mostly, I am just wondering if anyone has any further suggestions

 

[Fear]

Well if it has not gone into the building stage you can still make changes without being charged for altering the specs and you still have not said what you are using the PC for ?

 

[Omnirat]

I'm using the PC for gaming and I will be multi-tasking a lot

 

[Fear]

Well you have a bit of a strange setup for gaming as 16GB of ram is way overkill 4GB is enough and 8GB for future proofing if the budget allows is more than enough, you have selected to super large HDD's and they are also the slower energy efficient ones they are good for storage but you don't want them for the main drive also are you actually going to OC the system as that is not needed for gaming and if you are not OC'ing then you are wasteing money on the k series CPU and water cooling.

 

[Teaz]

If its for that then this will be more than enough for it although thats quite alot of storage but can be adjusted to your preference:

This will be more than enough and a more balanced spec.

Since you dont really have a budget, this is the spec to go

 

[Fear]

Another thing are you going to need to write to cd/dvd if so you also need a different optical drive as the 1 selected will only read.

 

[Omnirat]

Well it's already been ordered, I will have to check it out once it arrived, I may OC it since it's water-cooled and all.

 

[Fear]

As i said earlier has it already gone into the build stage ?

 

[Omnirat]

Yes it's being processed, I tried to ammend to change some stuff but it seems it's costing me, I guess it should be ok.. I hope

 

[Teaz]

oh, thought it was still in the pre production stage. if thats the case, you can always ask for part orders then add it in yourself. PCS will guide you through it if ever stuck.

 

[Omnirat]

So the main question is will I have problems or will it not run correctly?

 

[Fear]

Yes it's being processed, I tried to ammend to change some stuff but it seems it's costing me, I guess it should be ok.. I hope

You would have to pay the price difference between the components if that is what you meant but seen as it is not in building stage and only in processing then i would strongly advise changing it no point buying a new PC and not getting everything right for what you want/need.

 

[Omnirat]

So what you're saying is to try change to less RAM and smaller HDD's? and a no water cooling?

 

[Omnirat]

I've changed to a 8GB RAM, 120GB Intel Main Drive, second is 3TB drive and Titan CPU cooler.

 

[Teaz]

No, it will not have problems running, it will just be a tad slow having the caviar green drive as the main drive as they are usually recommended as storage drive as said by Fear. The rest of the specs are fine but a tad overkill so my spec i posted up was a re done to balance it out.

 

[Omnirat]

I have now change the spec, I am using a 120GB intel first drive and the 3TB as a second drive, changed the cooling system, changed the RAM to 8GB, is it ok now?
