    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST feedback for gaming pc

    For a monitor I'd spend just a touch more and get an IPS display. This AOC one is exceptional value: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CTXW2VB7 Here's a system I'd recommend for just a touch more than yours (which is now £1584, as prices fluctuate often): Case HYTE Y40 BLACK MID-TOWER CASE...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New PC I’m looking to buy

    Here's a build I suggested to someone else a day or two ago that would exactly meet your requirements, I think, and be way better than your build above. Case CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 7700 Eight Core CPU (3.8GHz-5.3GHz/40MB CACHE/AM5) Modern...

    First off, let's deal with the 22TB elephant in the room. RAID is not a backup. Use that as your mantra waking up in the morning and going to bed at night. RAID is not a backup. RAID 1 mitigates against one precise thing: a single drive failure. It does not protect against theft, fire, water...

    It's possible for the budget, certainly. What monitor will he be using? Sorry it got overlooked before, by the way.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST How is this looking/any changes needed?

    I'd get something very different in that case. First off, that monitor is going to be limiting: it's only 1080p, so it's hardly a top-tier gaming display. So I'm going to suggest a build that'll be great now, and can be upgraded to match a later monitor upgrade down the line. Case CORSAIR 5000D...

    What resolution monitor? (Or the make and model number.) Would "£1650-1800" be accurate?

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Ideas about this built?

    So will those be pages in a web browser? Sorry, they're not platforms I'm familiar with and it's a little hard to tell from their Wikipedia pages!

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Ideas about this built?

    What monitor will you be using? Are you using software that heavily uses multicore CPUs? (I'm not familiar with the software you will be using for trading.) Also an idea of your budget would be helpful...

    I would expect this PC, unmodified, to be a good shout for five years. An upgrade to the graphics in say four years would extend that, or indeed rejuvenate it. And you could also upgrade the CPU and maybe the memory down the line to extend it further. Ultimately the lifespan of a PC depends on...

    I missed it, sorry. It's pretty future proof. Nothing is perfectly so. The way to get future proofing is to go for a system that can be upgraded. With this system you can upgrade the graphics card easily, and the CPU and RAM could also be upgraded in a few years with newer products if you find...

    Well if you don't have a monitor already, I wouldn't aim for 4K60. I'd aim for 1440p 144Hz instead. It's quite simply a better experience in every way. I would only recommend 4K 60Hz if you already have it! The above build would be awesome for 1440p 144Hz (or better). I'd consider the AOC...

    It adds £200 to the price! Could you cut off £200 from elsewhere in the build to get it to stay under £2000? Maybe but I think you'd make compromises it would be better to avoid. If you could afford £2200, it would be great, but I'm working to your budget! Also, for 4K60, a 4070 Ti Super is a...
