Thanks. I do need at least 4 usb sockets & for some reason the case I picked seemed to be the 1st saying it had that many... As long as there's a standard eternet socket, I don't need WiFi on the PC 😎
No more than £1500.... Thing is, I definitely need to upgrade my current PC's GPU & storage, while it'd be a good idea to upgrade the main drive & RAM as well. At that point, it seems worth getting a new one, put together by experts, with the 3 year warranty on everything :cool: I looked at the...
Oh, it's just for gaming, sorry... I do play some games like Baldur's Gate 3 that are quite demanding but fortunately nothing that requires more than 60 FPS or 120 hz refresh rate, etc 😃
It's to replace my existing PC, BTW

Done that & it's all working fine now, thanks ..... I dunno what it wanted the 'system reserved' space for but I wan't worried about half a GB if I could have got back the 5+TB it wouldn't let me do anything with! All sorted out now, anyway (y)
I'd have to find the details if you really need all of them but it's the drives you probably mean ..... I have one Seagate Barracuda 8TB & a 1TB Sata SSD. Windows is installed on latter but it also has about 500GB allocated on former, hence why I'm trying to avoid reformatting the whole disk...
Well, I hadn't done anything to the HDD before I happened to go to My PC & noticed it was not showing there .... I don't want to format the whole disk, if at all possible, since it warns that might break the PC
I had to reinstall W10 but I used the USB backup I got from PC Specialist with the...
I know it was there when I first set up Windows but I just noticed it isn't showing now and I'm concerned where it's gone ....
UPDATE: Got disk to show in disk management but it only let me create a simple volume on the smaller 'unallocated space' & won't give me any options for the larger one...
Well, you obviously get the higher definition larger monitor.... If you want one of those! :cool:
Well, I haven't specifically checked! I'm assuming the games that were picked were the most demanding. That's where it's difficult, so i'll compare the prices now I know exactly what to check :geek:
It definitely advised I reduce the power part but that's the sort of thing I thought I'd better check.... I'd like to go with Radeon graphics, if they are good? We're those what you're suggesting, @Oussebon :cool:

Sounds like it. The other HDDs seem rather more expensive, which was why I settled on the 3TB. That'd leave some room to add another, which I should be able to manage myself, if needed, later on :cool:

Thanks, @Oussebon & @The_Scotster .... I was just coming to share a very similar build, actually! :cool:
Without all the lighty bits but that's easily adjusted. Don't see a WD Black ssd? Do you mean the Blue, that's half the storage? :geek:

My current system is an XBox One S.... It's quite possible that the PC would replace that, if it had all the games I'd want :cool:
I was expecting to have more storage in the PC, though. That was the biggest advantage to customizing here! For the same sort of price as a 1TB HDD & 256GB ssd in...
