OK, thanks for all your help! 😎

OK, is there some way to save money by cutting down on the extra ports....? 😎

OK, I dunno why it doesn't say about those... I don't need 10 USB sockets! 🤔

Thanks. I do need at least 4 usb sockets & for some reason the case I picked seemed to be the 1st saying it had that many... As long as there's a standard eternet socket, I don't need WiFi on the PC 😎

No more than £1500.... Thing is, I definitely need to upgrade my current PC's GPU & storage, while it'd be a good idea to upgrade the main drive & RAM as well. At that point, it seems worth getting a new one, put together by experts, with the 3 year warranty on everything :cool: I looked at the...

Oh, it's just for gaming, sorry... I do play some games like Baldur's Gate 3 that are quite demanding but fortunately nothing that requires more than 60 FPS or 120 hz refresh rate, etc 😃

It's to replace my existing PC, BTW The specs for the monitor: Screen: 54.6 cm (21.5") Full HD (1920 x 1080) 100 Hz HDMI, 75 Hz VGA Panel Technology: Vertical Alignment (VA) (178°x178°) FreeSync (HDMI VRR) Inputs: HDMI, VGA Response Time: 1 ms VRB Brightness: 250 cd/m²

Done that & it's all working fine now, thanks ..... I dunno what it wanted the 'system reserved' space for but I wan't worried about half a GB if I could have got back the 5+TB it wouldn't let me do anything with! All sorted out now, anyway (y)

I'd have to find the details if you really need all of them but it's the drives you probably mean ..... I have one Seagate Barracuda 8TB & a 1TB Sata SSD. Windows is installed on latter but it also has about 500GB allocated on former, hence why I'm trying to avoid reformatting the whole disk...

Well, I hadn't done anything to the HDD before I happened to go to My PC & noticed it was not showing there .... I don't want to format the whole disk, if at all possible, since it warns that might break the PC I had to reinstall W10 but I used the USB backup I got from PC Specialist with the...

I know it was there when I first set up Windows but I just noticed it isn't showing now and I'm concerned where it's gone .... UPDATE: Got disk to show in disk management but it only let me create a simple volume on the smaller 'unallocated space' & won't give me any options for the larger one...

Thanks, that's very helpful.... You've saved me hundreds of pounds! I'll probably go ahead & order it soon, then :p

Well, you obviously get the higher definition larger monitor.... If you want one of those! :cool: Well, I haven't specifically checked! I'm assuming the games that were picked were the most demanding. That's where it's difficult, so i'll compare the prices now I know exactly what to check :geek:

You presumably have a rather larger monitor.... Don't think I'd be playing games as demanding as those you listed! Radeon RX 5700 XT, then? :cool:
