    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Some advice for a 4090 build please!

    Thanks for your input Scott! Yeah I confess I went for Samsung for the drive mostly out of a sense of wanting a brand I know but I'm happy to trust in the options you've given and I like the divided up storage too!

    I'm not sold on the 7950X3D as the best choice for me. I get that it's a gaming beast for the very best FPS but when it comes to being reliable and predictable with other uses such as mine I see it as a risk. I do need a stable machine. I'm now considering the 7950X paired with the spec as...

    Sure, the main use will be for games development with Unreal/Unity including 3D modelling tasks and use of Adobe applications. I get that 128GB might be slight overkill still possibly. It's more the RAM speed concern that I don't really understand. Currently I only have a 1080 monitor but...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Some advice for a 4090 build please!

    Hi all! It's been about a decade since I last had my head in the game at all for hardware so I feel like my knowledge is really lacking! I'm going to be running a lot of demanding applications all at once and also want a machine that'll game at 4K for a good long while with no issues. My heart...
