Have £1300, but would be great to only spend £1200. Requirements: I want the computer to last 5 years, (which is why I said I don't want it overclocked really, as I hear it reduces PC life expectancy). Want to run any new FPS/Strategy/MMORPG game comming out this year, such as Elderscrolls...

Hi all, What do you think of the below quote? I was toying with the idea of blowing another £100.00 on an SSD too, but first question is: keeping the price under or very very close to £1000, can I change anything to increase gaming performance, (GPU/processor). Case PCS MAELSTROM T900 BLACK...

It's a horrible feeling waiting for your new system, isn't it? There are quite a few posts on these forums were people are anxiously waiting for their desktops to leave pre-production, some spending the 14th working day or more still sat in this dreaded status. It's like being a kid and waiting...

We are ordering the below PC tomorrow for my wife. She wants a PC mainly for gaming use, and wants to keep it as close to £25.00 a month on finance as possible, which is roughly £800.00. Finance is over 4years, so this HAS to last 4years, (playing games on medium settings 4yrs from now) with no...

I am really considering just buying a new graphics card for my current machine I bought from PCSpecialist four years ago. Using the "Windows Experience Index", which rates your system against modern game requirements, giving a score from 1 (low) to 5.9 (highest): my machine has the following...

How do you rate the following graphics cards? GTX570 HD7950 GTX580 I was originally buying the 570, but as I am spending £1300 on a machine, that would be the bottleneck for gaming, I therefore UPed my choice to the 580, but this is quite expensive. I was advised to go for the HD7950, which...

Hi, 1 - Please advise on anything you think I should change. I want the PC purely for gaming, movies, and studying and require it to last me 4-5years, as my current PC has done (also brought from PCS). I am mainly unsure on whether I have bottle-necked (nerfed) myself anywhere, so what do you...
