Hi, I am looking to get a cheap gaming PC for my 60+ year old father who i have recently got into gaming, can you advise if the below is sensible? Only looking to spend around £600 to £650. Please note that i will likely be giving him my RTX 2070 Super when i can finally get my hands on the...

Hi all, I recently had my PC specialist order and really enjoying it, however my monitor is in bad need of an upgrade. Currently running a rubbish 60hz 1080p monitor which is no good. My specs are: 3700x ryzen 7 RAM 16gb 3600mhz RTX 2700 Super 650w psu gold I am looking at getting a 1440p...

Thanks, i'm going to send them an email explaining that i am experiencing this error within the offer code period anyway and take a screenshot to prove i am within the offer period and hope they message me back. Unfortunately i work 8am to 4.30pm usually with unexpected overtime so i might be a...

I'm trying to enter BLK19 but it's saying the promotion period has expired? It's meant to last until the 2nd :(

Thanks Oussebon :) It has been extremely helpful to discuss with knowledgeable people i am very grateful to Spyder for the advice. On the airflow point, i decided to go with standard fans / coolers, i have not chosen any extra fans and i have not selected any liquid cooling. Do you think this...

Thanks so much for your help Spyder. :) I definitely plan on getting a 1440p 144hz monitor in the next couple of months to match the pc. You've sold me on the 3600 chip, not just yourself but everywhere i look people are raving about how good it is.... i think i just got nervous because it's...

Thank you for this, it is extremely helpful. Is it really ok to downgrade the R7 3700x to a R5 3600? I am concerned that only having 6 cores as opposed to 8 cores will harm the futureproofing potential. Also do i take this to mean that AMD are just as viable as intel now? (Hooray, no more...

For now, Oculus Rift S. But again once we are through Christmas that will most likely change to the Valve Index. Edit: Oculus for now mainly because it's cheap but also because of the exclusive access to the Oculus Store so i can play games like Asgard's Wrath and Stormlands, which are quite...
