    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Build config advice

    Brilliant, thanks. My bad there, I thought you meant to go for a 4070, not the stock 4070Ti. I reckon I'll go with that last build. I very much appreciate the time that has been spent helping me out; particularly from you, Scott, but also from Tony, and the like of agreement from Spyder.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Build config advice

    Brilliant, thanks. Changing the graphics card is a massive difference so I added the 7950X3D.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Build config advice

    Updated build. It's really just a few tweaks on the build that you recommended. I was still considering the 4TB for the second M2 drive but, on consideration, I've gone with your, more reasonable, suggestion of the 2TB; I've kept the 4TB mechanical. Case COOLERMASTER MASTERBOX TD500 V2 MESH...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Build config advice

    Ahoy, Many thanks for the replies; both really useful. I realised when I looked at the build you posted that I had erred on the boot drive and immediately did that change. The build I posted was, and I'm sure it looked like, a bit of a 'throw all the highest spec in there' type build. I think...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Build config advice

    Ahoy, Thanks for your reply. The monitors are already part of my current setup. A new monitor is an option but not for a while. Any upgrading to the build I settle upon is definitely not on the cards. With regards to your recommended build... I'm not interested in getting a Radeon. I've worked...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Build config advice

    Ahoy ahoy, I threw together a config, did a bit of tweaking, and came up with the below. Any advice on where I've gone wrong would be gratefully received. A few questions regarding what I've come up with: The only difference between the KF and K seems to be UHD graphic support. Is that worth...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Build Advice, Please.

    Excellent, thanks. Doubling the memory would make it a bit more expensive then I'd like; especially if I upped to 2666Mhz. Looks like it might be cheaper to grab a second DIMM from Amazon at a later date...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Build Advice, Please.

    Thanks. I had initially intended to spending on a £1000+ system towards the end of the year. Unfortunately, my current (10-year old PCS - barring a few upgrades) system is very much on its last legs and I need a replacement ASAP (work being a big factor). I'm not too fussed about future proofing...

    Hey, My PC is getting tired. So tired it can barely keep itself awake :( I've needed an replacement system for a while but more important things have taken presidence. Unfortunately, the state of my current PC, and the current WFH environment means I have to replace on a lower budget. Anyway, I...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Replacement gfx card

    Hi guys, I was hoping someone on here could recommend a graphics card for me ... :) The 8800GTS in my gf's computer (not my PCS computer which is fantastic) has died so I need to get a replacement card. I've got a budget of about £50. I was thinking maybe a GT430 or GT520 ... Thanks in advance.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New PC :)

    My new PC arrived :) It actually arrived on Monday but only just been able to set it up - not installed anything yet but having 64-bit Windows already installed was a time saver :) One thing though... There wasn't an SLI bridge among the extra bits; it should have come with the Mobo, right...
