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...

Hey all, thought I'd post about the pc I ordered a few weeks back as it arrived today. Been doing bits and bobs on it (mainly downloading itunes, steam etc.) but nothing serious so far. Won't be posting any pics unfortunately as I do not own a camera and the one on my phone is rubbish :(. Just...

After a lot of thought and endlessly browsing through lots of threads for information (a lot of you guys really know you're stuff), I have decided that this is what im going to order sometime during the week. I know it's rather modest (or rubbish!) compared to the majority of the other specs I...
