    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Views on spec appreciated, especially case and cooler

    I did, yup. With a 3090. That’s been half-inched by my son leaving me with nothing to play with!

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Views on spec appreciated, especially case and cooler

    Hi, I am thinking about ordering and all singing PC. I am happy with the spec but have a few questions that I hope you're kind enough to help out with. Use is gaming, and a little bit of video encoding. But mostly gaming. Not interested in overclocking. 1. I am keen on the motherboard for the...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Argh! Help... changed order during build

    Phew! I got through to customer services. It may be of help to others to know: I was told that for so long as a system is "in building" changes made on the configurator should pull through to the builder automatically. (Sorry to the poor chap building mine!) And, given that my last...

    I called yesterday. Was told end of the month. I went amended my order to upgrade the SSDs. I then looked at my spec to check that had gone through and saw it was in building! I actually missed the email as I was resigned to March before the build started.

    Thanks, but I have lost a PC to damaged (EDIT: water) cooling in the past.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Argh! Help... changed order during build

    Good news! My build (3090, 5900) has started after 42 days. Bad news! I found out after I upgraded my SSD to the 2TB Samsungs in stock. Is there any way this can be flagged urgently to the guys making my build (I have the name from my order but won't put it on the forum) I am on hold to tell...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Zen 3 Tracking thread (5900x/5950x)

    I spoke to customer services this morning. All recently delivered 5900x are allocated to builds. Hopefully larger deliveries are expected on 25th and 26th Feb. (Hopefully is doing some heavy lifting there). However, I guess that means that there will be little movement - maybe a few straggler...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    Not bought anything? True. But I have PAID for something. I (and others) have spent one, two, three thousand pounds or more and don't want to see components we've PAID for going to those who paid after us. That's the beef. I am happy to wait for my PC. I have bought from PCS in the past. But...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    This makes no sense to me, and would be wrong and unfair. If you paid for the component before someone else, it should not be given to the person who ordered it after you. As I have said in another thread, it creates the risk that you have to wait until all your components are in - having paid...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST More than one component on pre-order: Does PCS keep parts for you? (3090/ 5900)

    Thanks for your replies I saw that sticky. But it does not answer my query. My question is not what happens if components are freed up from another order. I get they move to the next order for that part. My questions are: 1. Does PCS allocate parts to older orders that it cannot yet...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST More than one component on pre-order: Does PCS keep parts for you? (3090/ 5900)

    I'd be grateful if someone better informed than me could confirm the "pre-production" process when more than one component is on pre-order. I have ordered a PC with a 3090 and 5900x. Both were on pre-order at the time. I understand the shortages. Since then, the 3090 has come into, and back out...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Input on £3500 machine, to add 6900 card, thanks!

    Hi I'm looking to build a quiet, high-spec machine to push 4K to a Samsung telly. It'll also run a 1440 165Hz monitor. Budget is £3500. I was thinking of going with a 6900 when it drops next week. Happy to wait for it. I'm hoping to keep the machine for about 7 years. I will be mostly...
