Since prices have dropped a bit and the 4000D disappeared from the config (I'm assuming its out of stock) I've messed with the spec a little bit to try and make the most out of it, but I'm very aware that I don't really know what should be prioritised so some extra opinions would be appreciated...

follow up on this - powerline adaptors only work via ethernet from what i understand but i need to boost the wifi for all devices in my room. should i get the powerline adapters anyway just for the computer and get something like this http://tinyurl.com/5kxmxkrp with it?

Hi all, the company I'm doing work experience at is in need of some new computers (tried to make an account for the company but it won't let me log in :/) We need: three new computers Budget: ~£1,000 Used for: general office work/telemarketing. Peripherals - monitors are LG model 25UM58...

im so used to bits of technology lasting maybe 2 years before giving up with the exception of my switch - up to a decade for only 1k is absolutely mental! i'll stick to the 4000D airflow case for now

bump

more questions (sorry for asking so many but i reckon you can't be too careful with a fancy box worth over a thousand quid) - How much better is the 5000D airflow compared to the 4000D airflow? I understand that it's larger so better cooling, more 2.5" slots, and more room for future upgrades...

just for reference this is the spec with the asus motherboard https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-am4-gen3-pc/Ywau!4JHpW/

read in a different thread about gigabyte motherboards being a bit sketchy (https://shorturl.at/iuKPV), so i was wondering about the asus ones - from what i can see they're a little bit more expensive but not sure how theyd affect anything else. if i swapped out the gigabyte b550 gaming x v2 for...

update should be able to set up the powerline stuff with some better cable management in the living room :)

ill have to check when i get home. might have misremembered some stuff sorry 🙃

Looked a bit into powerline stuff and I don't think it would work for me, from what i could understand from here https://shorturl.at/crsLV - no plugs available near the router, which is a shame because the idea of electric wifi is cool. I'll probably just get a wifi extender and use ethernet

I've been thinking about it and decided to use the full 400 from the CTF for the pc, giving me a 1k budget. some more questions i have: 1. one thing thats become very clear recently is how bad the wifi is in my room so I was thinking of getting a signal booster/router, but I wasn't sure if that...

my budget might increase soon (CTF letter came and i remembered it was a thing), by around 300, max 400. ive tried to adjust my chosen spec accordingly but some extra opinions cant hurt (esp because its a lot of money to be spending) - does this look good? Case CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED...

I was wondering about storage drives - if I'm planning on getting another 1tb ssd ASAP, is it worth partitioning the current drive beyond giving the OS its own section, and if it is, how should I divide it up? I've read that SSD slows down as it fills up and partitioning might help with that, as...

I posted my first attempt at a custom spec a few weeks ago (and got some lovely help from sck451!) and figured I'd post my current spec and maybe get a few extra opinions Case CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 5600G Six Core CPU with Radeon™ Graphics...

Hi, sorry to bother you - I was checking the spec to see if the prices have changed and the case you recommended doesn't seem to be available anymore? Clicking on the link leads to no case selected, and I can't find the one listen anywhere. Is the PCS PRISM TG BLACK ARGB case a good enough...

Thanks! An extra 30 quid for a better spec is fine by me - is there any particular reason the 2x8gb ram is better than the 1x16gb ram (im v new to this stuff sorry if thats a silly question)? I chose the 1x16 because it was a bit cheaper, but if splitting it is better i dont mind spending a few...

Hi everyone, I'll be getting my first custom desktop for my bday/xmas this year and would like some advice. My mum said the budget is £600 and I've gotten a £603 w/ VAT quote, I'm also trying to save up a little to see if I can raise the budget a bit. For peripherals I'm planning on using...
