    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST GamingCenterU - TongFang Chassis - mini guide

    Hi there - thanks for the above. However, is it possible to post a link to the downloads? From my account, all I can see is the OS system image and a W10_numlock_fix zip file, dating from 2016. Nothing for gaming centre or control centre... Any ideas?

Having done some checking, apparently there is a utility on the supplied disk I...

    Hi there - thanks, good point on the Bull Guard. As regards "educational", think later years primary (age 9-11), with remote learning. As such, office tools, low-end coding tools, Teams etc. Cheers

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Advice Please on Desktop Build

    Thanks - looks nice. The 16GB of RAM looks good - but is there any benefit to going to 32GB now? Apart from blowing the budget of course :-) I use a 1TB SSD on my own machine - you have suggested a 500GB SSD, and 1 TB SATA. I (assume!!) the the SSD is for the OS, the SATA for the games etc. ...

    Hi all. Looking for suggestions on the below, and where the main pinch points are (e.g. wasted money going for "x" or "by spending just £20-00 more you can get a 30% improvement" sort of thing). Budget will need to be around £1,400 - £1,500 or so. Thanks for any suggestions! Case PCS GENESIS...

    I am not up to speed on latest graphics cards... this was a the default one that came with the base laptop. Perhaps I started in a bad place ;-) What would you suggest?
