    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Download Speeds Limited?

    Yeah other devices are fine and give me expected results on speed tests, I've checked with my ISP and they apparently don't do any traffic shaping at all. Even if they did it would be odd for an ISP to throttle speed tests right? Here's my build order: Case CORSAIR CARBIDE SERIES™ 275Q QUIET...

So my internet speed is quoted at 200 Mbps, i'm using WiFi and the router is a room and a bit away so i would expect a potential drop of 50 or so Mbps however...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST No media present, won't boot up when connected by ethernet?

    So here is the picture of my boot devices, previously i couldn't see the boot manager but after a BSOD it's now visible. I got a blue screen of death with a MEMORY_MANAGEMENT stop code today and ever since then i've been able to see my windows boot manager in the BIOS again, it seems to have...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST No media present, won't boot up when connected by ethernet?

    My boot order doesn't even have my M.2 Drive in it, this is why i'm getting confused. I can't find my drive in my BIOS on startup at all anymore, when i could it was the first boot drive in the boot order. It's as if my PC doesn't realize the SSD is plugged in until 10-30 seconds after bootup.

The...

    Want to keep it as low as possible ideally, is there anything worth buying that's around £200? or would it be better to just stick with my current monitor at that budget?

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New Gaming PC Spec Check

    PCS just released 3200Mhz RAM on the configurator this morning from what i can tell, i amended my order to include it since ryzen can take advantage of the extra speed and it was only £15 more than the 2993MHz sticks. From 3200MHz to 3600 MHz you'll barely see any difference from the benchmarks...
