You could save money on the motherboard, for general gaming you don't need the x570 and there are other areas you could strengthen with the savings. Better case, better GPU, at least Silver Warranty, faster RAM etc. It's is taking so much of your budget that by saving there you could vastly...

You are going to spend that much but only £19 on the case? You need a better case, the crosshair will not offer much extra for your uses compared to a lower priced 570 motherboard. Consider a M2 NVME drive also?

Beast is built! Excitement intensifies :geek: At least now it's built I can stop messing around with build options. Final specs: Case COOLERMASTER MASTERCASE H500M GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16 Core CPU (3.5GHz-4.7GHz/73MB CACHE/AM4) Get 3 Months of XBOX Game Pass for PC w/...

The Configurator won't allow the Corsair to be chosen in the 2nd M2 slot for some reason. Think it's just a configurator issue. OS on the 250GB and the 1TB M2 is for my projects.

I have a 1080 I'm putting in it :D

It's taken a while to save up for, but now I can retire my 4790k build from UE4 stuff, it will only need to relax and play games for the rest of it's life :D

I just ordered this little beauty, needless to say I'm quite excited :D It's mainly for UE4 dev work hence the absurd amounts of RAM etc Case CORSAIR OBSIDIAN SERIES™ 500D SE CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16 Core CPU (3.5GHz-4.7GHz/73MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard Gigabyte X570 GAMING X...

Oh yes, the 3950x seems ideal for my needs... not ideal for my impatience though :D But you're right, I should wait. I assume that there isn't anything Intel in the pipeline which could compare at this price point?

Hello All, I'm working on a build for myself. I will be bringing over the 1080 in my current PC along with the Storage SSD's and HDD's. The main use of the PC will be for UE4 projects. Mapping and compiling shaders will be a thing hence me needing as much RAM as possible along with as many...

Heya folks, So my GPU seems to have died, for the last couple of weeks one of my monitors flickered now and again leading to like 1-2 second drops in signal, I assumed I had a loose connection or faulty monitor but today on 3 occasions while playing ARMA all 3 screens froze then went black, I...

So the Dev's of Ark: Survival Evolved have decided to release the Battle Royale type mod as a standalone game. It's pretty well fully optimised, and FREE. That's right Free to play forever, there are fancy skins involved and they're free too. I've been playing the full game of Ark for a while...

The beauty of this case is that the side panels easily unclip and reattach just as easily, some views of the PC including a look at the Zotac 970 and H100i in place. Next I did a quick check for loose connections and that everything was stable, seated right and ready for action...it was...

Finally we get a glimpse of the PC... Nestled in it's own box, surrounded by foam packaging. Like some sort of Xzibit gag we get a box within a box because we like boxes while we box. More foam packing, the PC is snug and sound. Freedom at last, I get my first unobstructed view of my...

OK, so I've had the pleasure of playing around with this for a week or so, here's a review and some pictures... First off, I'd like to congratulate PCS on their first class service. I made a few alterations to my original spec and each time I contacted them by phone or by Online support I was...

So Bumblebee is currently being constructed by those kind humans of PC Specialist, I really can't wait until this arrives! Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Processor i7-4790k (4.0GHz) 8MB Cache Case CORSAIR GRAPHITE SERIES™ 380T YELLOW GAMING CASE Motherboard ASUS® H81I-PLUS...
