    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Help an idiot out...

    Hi there, it's time for a new PC. I've been promoted and my my system is getting a little long in the tooth. I'm coming from a GeForce RTX 2070 Super, AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, 16 Gb Ram system with 2x2TB Samsung EVO SSDs. I use a (ludicrously overpriced and honestly disappointing) Razer Raptor 27 as...

    Thanks, I really appreciate the information and you taking the time to write these responses for me. I won't expect in-depth troubleshooting advice (I never expected all this either, but it's very kind of you all the same) :).

    Thanks very much. I'll probably follow this pretty closely and see what I can find. Yes, I meant cutting out exactly as you've described.

    You would be very useful to have around. Going off topic slightly, how would you normally go about diagnosing what the issue is? :)

    Thanks so much for this. It's immensely helpful. I'm just looking through it now using the link. I suspect my existing machine is cutting out because of high/unsafe GPU temp. A good clean & someone more sensible than me applying thermal paste should hopefully sort her out. Alternatively, it...

    No problem. Thanks for taking an interest. Could probably afford £350 max for three monitors I think down the line? Does that seem like a reasonable budget?

    No, I don't need a monitor. But a recommendation for two (or three) would be appreciated :)

    To avoid wasting the mod OUSSEBON's time, I notice you posted this recently: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-am4-pc/pFttdHke4p/ If your advice for me is the same, please let me know :)

    Hi folks, I've been an avid PC gamer for around 15 years now but I've always been pretty terrible with hardware. My little old lady [Intel i5-4690K | 8GB Ram | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 | ASRock H97M | Samsung SSD 850 EVO etc.] is starting to have some issues with cutouts and whatnot and it's...
