Frankly, I was rather underwhelmed by AMD's launch of a single V cache CPU, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Meanwhile, Intel released the non K 12th gen models which, while not offering any real performance advantage, did offer a lower price and could be paired with lower end coolers and motherboard...

So it's good to see some ASUS B660 boards on the PCS configurator. Unfortunately the price difference between the comparable B660 and Z690 boards is less than I would have hoped for. The Prime board is £33 cheaper but the TUF board is just £17. I was hoping to see something around £40 which is...

I got my Gigabyte M32U yesterday afternoon. I bought it a few weeks ago for £675 using a 10% discount code I had (RRP is £750). Relative to my 32" 4K 60Hz Dell displays, it's pretty much identical in SDR terms: very good brightness, good colour gamut, crystal clear text, very good contrast...

Such good value for £4 less than an 850w ...

Seeing the usual volatile weekend moves in the pricing of GPUs on the PCS configurator vs earlier this week. 3080Ti up £193, 3080 down £115. 3070Ti up £16, 3070 down £45, 3060 down £42. That moves the spread between a 3080 and 3080Ti from £213 to £521. Don't think you'd buy a 3080Ti at that...

So even late last week, the price difference between a 3070 and 3070Ti got as low a £5-£10. Right now on the configurator it's more like £85. This has been caused by the price of the 3070 dropping, rather than the 3070Ti rising in price. Just alerting people to this. It was a free option to go...

I tend to be able to source Dell monitors at quite nice prices, and feel safe buying them, so my base case is a Dell S3220DGF. It's 32" VA panel, 1440p with a gentle 1800R curve, 400 nits brightness, and refresh up to 165Hz. I can source it for just over £300 new. The other obvious one is the...

I ordered the following system for £2,350 on April 19th. Case CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12 Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.8GHz/70MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard ASUS® ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING (USB 3.2 Gen 2, PCIe 4.0) - ARGB Ready! Memory (RAM) 32GB Corsair...

Hi First, thanks for the advice. Started with a ZXSpectrum in 1983 when I was a kid. Lords of Midnight and Elite were the games that grabbed my imagination. Atari ST followed. Wrong turn with Apple Mac LC as a uni student. Lovely computer but too little software. Got my first x86 in 1993 when...

Hi Received new PC from PCS last week. It's a AMD 5900X, with Zotac 3070, running Win 10 Pro. I'm finding that either on boot up or after a period where I've left the desk period (and the screens have gone blank), one of the four monitors will be "out of focus". More like an old TV screen than...

Hi, In terms of RAM, the PCS configurator doesn't seem to say exactly what I'll be getting. Am I right in assuming the 3200 is CL16 and the 3600 is CL18? The difference in price is marginal (say £38 for 32gb) but on the internet there is some difference of opinion whether it really matters...
