Hi all, Here's my spec, which is pretty much a spec Scott suggested yesterday when I was asking for advice on CPU/Graphics/Motherboard. I've left it alone apart from adding a storage drive. The requirements are - Primarily gaming PC, I want to run things like Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077 with...

Thanks, and yes, the 4090 is a bit too steep for my budget. I'm good with my graphics card cost more than my console, I draw the line at it cost nearly as much as my last PC!

Hi, I'm out of touch on current components, so I'm looking for advice on what to look at for: -Primarily gaming PC, I want to be running things like Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077 with the graphics if not maxed out, pretty high. I definitely want to be able to turn the ray tracing on in...

It's currently Windows 10, 1803, but that's after I did a system restore and I know it updated in the last few days so I think it was on 1809 when the problem first occurred. It is still happening under 1803. Oh and the fan on this card definitely does turn off on low load, so that could well be...

I have a several year old PC with a 980Ti graphics card which has worked fine up until today. I started a game and the screen went black. I eventually had to do a hard reset, it booted up through the bios normally, as soon as windows started the monitor switched to no signal and turned off...

It's the below, except with the 3200 memory: Case FRACTAL MESHIFY S2 BLACKOUT TEMPERED GLASS Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Eight Core CPU (3.6GHz-4.4GHz/36MB CACHE/AM4) Get 3 Months of XBOX Game Pass for PC w/ select AMD Ryzen CPUs Motherboard Gigabyte X570 GAMING X: ATX (USB 3.2 Gen 2...

And I should have added to the amedments I made - changed the card to a 2070 super!

Well I've now ordered with a couple of tweaks from the above, which covers the memory and power supply suggestions, I went for the Gigabyte motherboard in the end, and changed the drive configuration round a bit to something I was happier with. But I did decide to get a new monitor a bit...

I've been playing with a build for a couple of days now and think I'm close to what I want, but I'd like any advice on improvements I might be missing. I'm want a 1440p gaming PC, the monitor's currently basic, I'll upgrade that by the end of the year, so I'm looking for something that will...

Another one who's been waiting for the Zen 2 to hit. I'm after a 1440p gaming PC, want it to run reasonably quietly, I want decent storage space for photos/videos, not doing anything graphics/cpu intensive outside gaming, no plans to go to 4k. Budget - I was looking at around 2k, but I can go...

I hadn't realised there was something new and interesting coming soon. And I admit I have bad memories of AMD and default to Intel a bit, despite knowing that's not how things are these days! The end of July wouldn't be the end of the world, so I'll have a look what people are saying once...

Sorry, forgot to add the monitor. It's an ASUS PB278, 59Hz, no adaptive sync etc.

Not streaming/rendering. Browsers with a lot of tabs going, open and/or MS office with multiple documents, discord and sometimes other messaging/comms software, maybe a music player. Tends to be things taking up memory rather than CPU/GPU. Not urgent urgent, but I'd like to have it by mid July.

I'm looking for advice on a new gaming PC. It's for 1440p gaming, not going to go higher in the near future, but I want to be able to max out the settings within that. I need lots of storage space for video etc, I'll be running a lot of applications at once, space isn't an issue case wise, quiet...

My current PC is getting a bit clunky, time to decide on the replacement. It's used for gaming, work (standard office software, nothing more), watching movies and various other odds and ends. Gaming is the single big demand, but I do tend to have lots of applications and browser windows open at...
