    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST i9-13900 / RTX 4080 glitching on chrome and games

    I would say yes as why buy a high end CPU and skimp on the cooler because if you can afford the I9-13900 and a high end GPU then why not a high end cooler for your CPU as you can afford to splash out on expensive Hardware ?

    Hi , has anyone noticed that the 8GB ASUS TUF GAMING GEFORCE RTX 3070 TI is cheaper than the 8GB ASUS ROG STRIX GEFORCE RTX 3070 when configuring a desktop build ? surely if your going to order the ASUS ROG STRIX GEFORCE RTX 3070 you would skip that and just go for the 3070 TI , just wondering...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST I'm over my £2500 budget, but is it worth it?

    If you wanted , you could always downgrade your M.2 SSD drive from 2TB to 500GB ( you could add another ssd if you wish and keep the 500GB drive for windows only ) and upgrade your monitor to a 4K and be happy with your set-up , also do you really need Norton Anti-Virus as windows itself has 1...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Upgrading gaming pc

    You could stretch to the RTX 2060 or the Super version and squeeze another 8GB Ram in , then you should be fine for maybe 1 or 2 years before looking to upgrade to a nice new shiny PC and you could then keep the RTX 2060 / Super for your next build ( i7-7700k will compliment this GPU nicely ) ...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST 1st Storage Drive and 1st M.2 SSD Drive?

    The way i would do this is : 1. Install and only have windows OS on the 500GB drive or even choose 256GB as windows only takes up about 47GB of storage so this leaves plenty of storage should you need it. 2. Have a large enough storage drive to install all your games on and anything else like...
