Hey guys. After a decent bit of re-configuring and advice from members of this forum, this is the spec I have arrived at. I was about to click order before I decided to have one final check. Case InWIN GT1 BLACK GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i5 Quad Core Processor i5-4460 (3.2GHz)...

Hello, I'm buying a new PC soon, and I'm looking for high-tier gaming mainly. I'm deciding between the i5-4590 and the FX-9370. I heard Intel is better overall but AMD is better value for money, but I don't know which price range it stops being worth getting the AMD and the Intel starts...

Hey guys. Now that I'm at uni and not constantly moving between the parent's houses, I feel like I can buy a PC to replace my laptop. Anyway, something that I've noticed that my friends' high-end PCs is that they are physically HUGE. What would be the smallest case that would fit a 970/980...

Laptop details: Vortex III 15.6" Intel i7-3630 Quad Core @ 2.4 GHz 16 GB RAM nVidia 680m ___________________ Okay so to cut a long story short, my laptop has water damage, which appears to have only affected the screen backlight. In PERFECT lighting conditions, I can JUST see high-contrast...

Hello. I was wandering if it's possible for my 15.6" Vortex III to run on the 680m? I know the battery life will drop a lot but I don't really mind about that. E.g When I'm playing Amnesia, if I'm on battery it detects that the 680m exists, but it runs at 20fps, however when I plug it in it goes...

Well, here's my first review! Back around November, I decided that I had enough of my terrible old Packard Bell and wanted something for games. I opted for the 15.6" Vortex III after plenty of research. I wanted the portability of the 15.6" (I'd be taking it to school every day) with the power...

Hey, I just received my new Vortex III today. Everything is running brilliantly, apart from the speed of the network. I have the Killer 1103 network card. On my PC, which is wired, using speedtest.net, I have a ping of 35ms, a download speed of 16.21 Mbps and an upload of 0.44. In this laptop...

I'm on the verge of ordering my laptop and I'm still deciding between the 680m and the 7970m. If I get the 7970m I'd be able to afford an mSSD as well which I would adore, and 16GB of RAM instead of 8. However I have seen reports of Enduro issues completely crippling the gaming capabilities...

Okay so I'm going to order my laptop after my summer job pays. Been tinkering with it for a while (Since the Vortex II) and I decided on this: Chassis & Display Vortex Series: 15.6" Matte Full HD LED Widescreen (1920x1080) Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-3610QM...

I'm planning to buy a Vortex III. I was gonna get the 7970 along with a 120gb mSATA SSD and 16GB RAM, but I decided to go fr the 680, but in order to be able to afford it I need to drop the mSATA and go to 8GB RAM. Just wondering how much it costs to get an mSATA (120GB) if I buy it at a later...

Hi, I just noticed the new option for the Vortex III 15", for the Matte screen with no extra cost. How good is it? Would it be worth shelling out the £80 for the 95% gamut? Could PCS put a side-by-side pic with lighting in the background? Thanks.

Hi, I'm wanting to get a laptop with the boot time of an SSD. I'm going for a Vortex III. I'd prefer a 15" instead of the 17", although it's not entirely necessary, but I also need a CD drive, and the 15" can't have a CD drive and 2 hard drives. I noticed the "80GB INTEL® 310 mSATA MLC SSD -...

Okee so I'm going to get a 15" Vortex III soon. I've decided on my specs, here are the important bits Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-2760QM (2.40GHz) 6MB Memory (RAM) 16GB SAMSUNG 1333MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (4 x 4GB) OR 8GB SAMSUNG 1600MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (2 x...

Hi, this is my first post here. My friend bought a laptop from here and recommended it a few weeks back so I checked out and found the custom laptop I'd really like. Yesterday I went on it again to show my friend, and the main reasons I wanted the laptop were missing. (Vortex II 15.6) Samsung...
