So I have had another play about since the announcement of pricing and release dates for the X3D processers coming soon. Obviously waiting for 3rd party benchmarks and reviews before deciding would be ideal but I think only the 7800x3D will fit my budget without compromising overall on the build...

Hi all, Been reading articles/posts here and watching videos and think I have came up with a slightly better build attempt than a few months back. My budget has increased to ~£2500 max, although lower if possible. PC will be for gaming (FM, total war, AAA titles, whatever takes my fancy...

Ok, that's good to know! I'll hang back and wait and see what happens with new releases and prices over the next 2/3 months. Not set on one particular brand over another.

Hi, Thanks for the reply! hmmm, ok. What sort of build should I be looking at as a minimum with this monitor then? Last time I bought a PC I was really hampered by having a motherboard which wasn't great past a couple years in terms of compatibility with new components so not wanting to make...

So, I appreciate this isn't in the check my spec forum but didn't want to start a new thread unnecessarily. Done a bit of reading and reasearch and a play about with the configurator and came up with the following build. Case CORSAIR iCUE 220T RGB AIRFLOW MID TOWER GAMING CASE Processor (CPU)...

Hey everyone. I'm thinking about getting a new pc in the next few months (I'm in no hurry, just dipping my feet in just now) but don't really have a clue with what I'm doing/need tbh, or when the best times to buy are. I have noticed from browsing the forums the last few weeks that a lot of new...

Thank you for the replies. It seems to have settled a bit since it started. I'll try the suggestions. It's not affecting performance, was just annoying if I was watching something on my laptop.

Hi all, My laptop recently has started making a very faint, intermittent rattling noise and I have no idea why. It appears to just randomly happen, even if I'm just browsing the internet. It is just to the left of the touchpad on the chassis I think. I've seen elsewhere online that it might be a...

Thank you, definitely given me something to go and research/consider!

Thanks for the reply, I'll have a look into that!

Hey all! I'm looking to get rid of my old uni laptop and my current desktop which takes up too much room and I just don't use all that often anymore and replace them with a new laptop. I will be using this laptop for general office and day-to-day use as well as some gaming (mainly total war...

Hey all, been a while since I last posted in these forums but I'm back needing a new rig and I'm just as clueless as back then! I'm looking to get rid of my old uni laptop and my current desktop which takes up too much room and I just don't use all that often anymore and replace them with a...

A friend and I bought 3D Ultra minigolf adventures deluxe on steam as it was on sale and we thought we could have some fun on it. Upon installing it. however, every time I try to run the game it begins to start up but then minimizes immediately afterword to the task bar. If I try to maximize it...

Hello all. I am looking into upgrading the RAM in my PC from 4 to 8gb (2x2gb sticks to 2x4gb sticks) but I am unsure if the RAM i am looking to buy is compatible. My mobo is an asus M5A78L-M/USB3 and I am looking to get some DDR3 RAM running at 1600mhz. I'll post the rest of my specs at the...

Hello all, I am looking to upgrade the RAM in my PC but when I go to the upgrade section there is no RAM in the drop-down menu, yet every other upgradeable component is showing fine. I have e-mailed PCSpecialist about this as well but thought I would see if anyone in the forums had any ideas...

Hi folks, I'm looking into getting myself a new graphics card over the christmas period and torn between two just now. The 3GB AMD R9 280x and the 2GB nVidia 770. Both are around my price range (£200-250) and i'm torn between the two. Any thoughts?

Hello all. I recently purchased the AMD FX-4350 cpu from the site as an upgrade to my old one. Once my friend and I had put it in and made sure everything was fine (we assumed) we tried to boot up the computer again but nothing happened. They heatsink, gpu and mobo all received power but the...

My PC has just restarted itself again around 5 minutes ago, this is another image of what the event viewer was displaying. It is not going to BSOD at all, just restarting then giving me the option to start in safe mode etc. Anyone have any idea what could be the cause of the problem. This also...

Ubuysa, I had a look at the event viewer and there were a few non-zero values, most of which I have no clue as to what they mean. I have taken a screen shot and will attach the image to this post.
