    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Gaming PC Check.

    That makes a lot of sense regarding the 50-60% mark and the speed difference! Thanks! That seems like a pretty good build then, within the budget too. I might go for a 2TB SSD for gaming though! Thanks for the help!

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Gaming PC Check.

    Thanks for the suggestions @Steveyg ! Although I think I may need the 64GB of RAM. DCS is my main concern, and it's beyond RAM-hungry on busy multiplayer servers. The HDD is basically just for photo storage, etc. Can't transfer my current one as that PC is being donated to a nephew... I'd say...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Gaming PC Check.

    Hey! I'm pretty much at the top end of the budget. In fact, I was already convinced by someone on the DCS forums to upgrade from my original choice of a 6950 XT to the 4070 Ti.

But basically every time I load up a game (Shogun 2), the computer shuts down and restarts by telling me that asus anti-surge stopped it. It's strange as it seems to be happening faster now, as at first I...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Good enough for Rome II Total War/Watch Dogs, etc?

    Time for my 2nd build on PC Specialist! Any ideas on whether this is good enough to run R2:TW at high specs or not? It's pretty much top of my budget as it is! I have no intention of overclocking, though, so opted for the non-K processor. And only plan to use one monitor, so I guess 2gb GPU is...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST £950 Gaming rig.. but is it good enough?

    Hi! I'm usually terrible at judging these types of things, so I'm hoping some of you can reassure me a little! Trying to put my tax rebate to good use here.. haha. First of all.. is a sound card absolutely necessary? A lot of people tell me it isn't, and that the onboard should be sufficient...
