Ok, cool. Thank you!

Hello all, One of my GPU fans in my nice new PCS machine (specs below) is getting noisier and noisier and even stops and starts sometimes. It's all my own stooped fault, as I turned the computer on BEFORE I'd removed the big wadge of packaging foam that holds everything in place. The fan won...

Order placed. Again, thanks for your help!

Brilliant, thank you!

Hello, sorry to bother you again...! Still no sign of new cases, or at least not Corsair ones. I’ve had a rough go at a spec though and picked a smallish Corsair case that still seems to have three big old fans all down the front. Do you think it might be up to the job? If not, do you have any...

Brilliant, thank you. I can wait.

Hello, can I bother you with this again please, The_Scotster now that the 3950x is out….? Sadly it appears that the case that you had recommended is no longer available, and maybe other things have changed too? Is it just a matter me using what you specced last time and then just picking the...

Okay, I’ll probably wait then, and I’ll come back and bother you once the 3950x is released! cheers

Amazing. Thanks so much. This is incredibly useful and at a price that is most appealing. I just need to ask myself if I go for this spec now at this price or wait and pay more for the more powerful options you’ve mentioned. I think I’m leaning towards the former.... But either way, thank you...

Fantastic, thanks for the reply. Firstly, as far as the case goes, this is my biggest compromise that i need to inflict onto the machine. I really need it to be as small as is reasonably possible. (My first ask on here a few months ago was for a mini atx machine to do this job and I was very...

Hello, thanks for the reply. No, this isn’t a recommended build, I started again as there were new options since I last took advice, and I‘ve upped my budget a bit too And it’s fair to say I’m pretty much trying to buy the best I can afford, rather than through any deep understanding of the...

Hello, I've posted before and received excellent advice, but I'm getting very close to buying now so I just wanted advice on a couple of things before pulling the trigger. The machine will mainly be used for editing 4k video using Premiere Pro. Primarily, I want to know if I should be reaching...

Brilliant, thank you. I’ll look again at the case choice! Could I also trouble you to talk me through the storage solution you’ve put in there? I get that spinning discs are still a very valid storage device but I’m oblivious to how the M.2 SSD works with it? My old pc ran a small SSD for...

I’m also looking for a PC for similar uses/budget as the OP so thought I’d jump in here rather than start a new thread. The main difference is that I’m hoping to go for a small form factor case, as my old PC was a giant Coolermaster case but was virtually empty inside. So i want to check if...

Well, I've come up with this at the moment, which is probably affordable. I like it if I can stretch to it getting stuff that is a bit future proof, so I was pleased I could make an i9 and a posher motherboard work, but I could certainly do with some advice about if this graphics card is enough...
