What's your opinion about this spec? Can it be improved for around the same price in any way? I have two GPU's at home, a GTX 450 which is out of the PC this is replacing, and also my main PC's old GTX 570. (Not sure the GTX 570 is functional anymore though, got a burning smell from the PC...

Hi, so I've been trying to build something good to replace a broken down PC. I found this on pcworld: [Link removed - but the details are :i5-4460 CPU, 8 GB RAM, 3 TB HDD (5400rpm), WiFi, PSU: 220W] and when I try to replicate it on PCspecialist with a nicer/better airflow case it ends up way...

Hello again PCS! I've bought two PC's from yourselves in the past, first one was for my gf and her PC has packed in last night. Was having harddrive issues and wouldn't start, wouldn't start with a different harddrive either so it's well and truely dead. Now the question, if I buy a new PC...

Hello all. I'm not normally a laptop kind of gamer, I've ordered a big gaming rig about a year and a half ago from PCS. I know very little about laptops and what normal graphic cards translate into when it comes to Laptop cards so I'd really like some advice. Due to lack of space in my house...

Hello again dear PCS members. Been a while since I was last on here but it seems I've come across a problem with my network card that's been there since day one. I never really bothered to get it fixed with the warrenty while it was active as I simply opted to use a network cable instead...

Hello! I just bought a Plantronics Gamecom 780 headset. The bass is somewhat disappointing and I cannot plug it into my soundcard which has a build in equalizer that can buff up the bass. Now the headset only comes with a USB connector and I'm looking for a converter that turns my USB...

Hello again PCS! I'm a past customer, bought my lovely PC from here August last year. At that time I was very active on the forums and if I recall correctly past customers can in fact buy odd new parts from the website without building a new PC, is this still the case? Or was it ever the...

Right, I'm a sinner. I'm actually using my Xbox360 rather then the PC simply because Dragon's Dogma isn't available on PC. I'm wanting to sit at me PC desk and use my monitor but since I've not got any clue about xbox products I'm wondering what cable I could get (hopefully cheap) in order to...

Another red arrow pilot died today :/, unlike the one a few weeks/months ago that died steering his plane away from the crowd and dying doing so. Whilst the plane was stationary on the ground the chair was ejected accidentally and went up in the air, the parachute failed to deploy :( I've...

So, don't know how many mice I've concidered, I'm still struggling to find a good one. I'll go through some of them. Razer Death Adder: Tried at PCworld, My hands are too big, my ring finger rests uncomfortably on the bend at the front right side, (I hold my mouse with a palm grip, having...

So, went into a local o2 shop yesterday about 5 pm, got a new iphone 4 sorted, got the contract etc, bloke at the shop put the sim in, got home, activated the phone in iTunes and sorted. Used it all evening, this morning when I woke up, it's got "No Service" in the top left hand corner and I...

Maybe PCS could concider adding a note when you build your PC, that if you've selected any of the rare cards like GTX 590/6990, it could give you a warning about how rare they are, and delays may occure with shipments and replacements etc? There's plenty of posts about people waiting for them...

Anyone else really excited about this? The graphics don't look overly impressive at first glance, but they've improved massively since info was first released about it. It's designed with medium specced PC's in mind, whilst still catering for the top specced ones. I quite like the graphics...

So, I'm gonna buy a new mouse soon, I thought I was gonna get the Razer Death Adder, but after going into Curry/PCWorld to have a feel at the mice, it annoyed me, was a nice fit, but on the right side, my finger is too long and is resting on some annoying bend that points outwards, making it...
