After years of using an old PC I was gifted I thought I would finally order myself my own.
So with zero knowledge when it comes to computers I mistakenly ordered a PC without knowing about this amazing forum, that was a regret. After 15 days of Pre-production I finally discovered the forum and posted the specs of my computer. I was met with great help from the community and they quickly made me realise I made a mistake with my order. I quickly cancelled my order and PCSpecialist were very understanding about it and quickly refunded me. Then the fun began
...
So after a week I sought the help of the community again and they began spec'ing my computer, but because my PC was in pre-production I was able to save alot more which meant many amendments, I do feel bad for the guy who read my order. So fast forward 3 weeks my PC went into build mode, and the results made me a very happy man!
Although I'm still trying to figure out the whole benchmarking and stress testing I'm slowly getting there
My setup is what you would probably call simplistic, because I just like the clean look. Although a few fancy LED's would've looked pretty dope
Also with my new PC I got myself the Samsung G5 Odyssey and I'm inlove.
I would like to say a thank you to the users STEVEYG & SIBUN1 for their help and an all mighty thank you to JUNIOR, I don't know how you kept your cool with me during this stressful month. You're one hell of a guy.
My whole experience with PCSpecialist has been a good one, I understand the waiting times are currently quite long but I imagine they are in most places. 5/5!
Thank you
