Hello, I've long been on the search for a photo/light video editing laptop but have held off because of the delayed arrival of the Ryzen 4000 laptops. My current PCS desktop is 8 years old and my sister in law is lodging with us in the room where it's located so I feel like a laptop may suit my...

Hello everyone! I used to be a very active member here about 8 years ago when I bought my first PC Specialist desktop. It’s still going fairly strong but I’ve stopped Gaming and my primary focus is photo editing with some light video editing too... and frankly my little i5-3570 can’t handle it...

For those that want a disc, Shadow of Mordor is £25 on Amazon :) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00O29A1JU/ref=twister_B00JB29YLE?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Really wasn't that fussed about this but was speaking to my girlfriend about it last night and I got a text 10 minutes later saying she'd ordered...

Hello everyone, long time no see! Hope you are all well and apologies that I haven't been on in months, I've been pretty busy with work stuff and haven't been able to slack off like I used to! Some of you may remember that I was buying my girlfriend a PC a while ago so that she could play GW2...

My other half has been playing a lot of MMO's lately, mainly GW2 but she is having a constant issue with losing connection to the servers literally every 5 minutes. She'll press a button and it won't attack (even though on my screen I can see her attacking) and then she'll end up dead and either...

Does anybody know of any decent 2 player co-op games that are fairly pretty and easy to understand? The missus and I have been playing GW2 but she's having disconnection issues at the moment which a lot of people on the GW2 forums seem to be having yet there's no solution. It's ruining the...

Hi all, I've been in the mood to tinker lately and am considering giving my rig a nice fan overhaul. I am still using the stock fans that came with my CM690 II advanced and would really like an 'inexpensive' mod to keep me happy. I was thinking of replacing all my fans and adding a few and...

I'm looking to buy a ASUS VX229H AH-IPS 21.5" for the missus as it seems like a nice panel and I think she'd benefit more from a cheap IPS than she would from a TN panel. The only issue I can see is the connections are 2xHDMI and 1xVGA. I'm perfectly happy with this as I can hook it up to her...

Not sure if I'm being daft but I was looking to get an Aerocool Dead Silence micro-atx case and have one of the new A10-7850K's in it as it will only be used for general tasks plus very casual gaming. I was just looking on the configurator and the only Mini pc's available are intel only. Am I...

For some reason I've only just discovered about Raspberry Pi and am now very intrigued by them. I've been wanting to build a small rig to plug into my tv and tinker with and perhaps run on Linux to keep costs down but then I found out about the Pi and it seemed to be perfect (apart from the...

It's over a year old now but I was only introduced to it recently by a friend and I ended up being in love with it. The first couple of episodes are a bit slow but it soon gets pretty interesting. Basically it's a world where Video Gaming is the lead sport and kids are sent to high schools...

For those of you that didn't opt into the Square Enix Surprise box, you probably made a good choice. I was at least expecting one final fantasy game but it wasn't to be. I have a few codes to give away now for anybody interested, they are absolutely crackers it's just a shame I already own them...

I bought the missus a little 'Pop!' figure of a Game of Thrones character as a small gift for Christmas (no not her main gift, I'm not that tight). It's arrived today and the box is like completely battered at the back, almost like somebody has stood on it even though the actual delivery...

I'm looking to get my brother a decent set of earphones/headphones for Christmas as he listens to music pretty much non-stop and doesn't do a lot else. He's currently using some entry-level ipod ones I think. I don't want to spend too much but I certainly don't want to be stingey - Definitely...

My Galaxy S2 contract has come to an end and it's time for an upgrade. I'm currently with Orange and am struggling to find a decent deal for a new phone + plan (is it me or do they not offer any benefits to loyal customers anymore?!). Anyway, my number one choice was going to be the Galaxy S4...

Wasn't sure if this was common news or not but it seems GeForce Experience has updated and introduced Shadowplay Beta which allows discreet in-game recording with barely any impact on FPS performance. I believe this is only for 600 and 700 series cards but looks pretty decent to be honest! Full...

I'm looking to build a really cheapo rig as the missus's laptop has broke and she really enjoys playing Guild Wars 2 (unfortunately on my machine at the moment!). I've been having a look around and I think the only way I'm going to be able to do this is with an Integrated Graphics CPU. I just...

Had no idea this was even on the horizon. Shame it's the day before BF4 release... http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/10/19/sniper-elite-nazi-zombie-army-2-announced-will-release-on-halloween/ http://youtu.be/2vmkfFr1Veo

I've discovered that there's a possibility of moving back to Southport where my relatives live which is about 3 hours from where I am now. I'm pretty keen for a move as I've been a bit down in the dumps lately with work and stuff and there's no real reason for me wanting to stay in Malvern any...

Hey guys, got myself a Samsung 840 pro 250gb SSD yesterday, stupid amount of money to spend but my PC was well in need of a spruce up seeing as I've used about 800gb out of my 1tb in my Caviar black and things don't seem to be moving too quickly nowadays. I think I've done everything...
