I had my last PC from pcspecialist.com about 2 and a half years ago and just like last time I am absolutely as happy as can be with the order process, the communication, the price and so forth. Just like last time it was packaged solidly, was in one piece upon arrival, checked none of the plugs have come loose during transit and they haven't. There was no inflatable cushion thingie inside it like there was last time but I'm guessing this is because there wasn't room. Either way, doesn't matter, didn't need one.
















By the way this case I picked looks amazing. It's not as expensive as some of the others, not as big either, but it's a proper gaming case and my pictures don't do it justice because I'm crap at taking them. Haven't had the time to install and play any games yet but I'll post some details once I do, FPS and graphics settings and whatnot.

Nice rig. Its good to hear from a satisfied customer as ususally the happy customers are the silent ones.

Hope you enjoy your rig. (Christmas Steam sales in a couple of weeks!)

Nice :) I had my doubts about that case from the configurator pictures but it looks pretty sweet.

Dude, you spent £1.1k on a comp and got hardly anything to show for it.

-My setup, which cost £1,300

I5 4670k @ 4.4GHz
GeForce GTX 780Ti Overclocked
Asus Saber tooth mobo
2TB HDD
750w PSU (Corsair extreme)

Everything else the same as you. :)

Really wouldn't have got the 770 as they really do downplay Nvidia, 780ti kills the TITAN, so worth it.
More shaders, GFlops, better cooling in everyday superior.

What made you go for this setup?

Is it just me, or is this a cr*p 2nd post?

The guy is happy with his purchase and goes to the trouble to give some feedback including some nice photos and all you can do is try to make him feel as if he didn't get his money's worth.

I bought BF4 today. Didn't really want it because it's basically just BF3 with new maps (I've just been playing it for about 4-hours... it really is BF3 with different maps lol) but anyway I have every setting maxed out, full AA and all that crap, never drops below 60 FPS, even in multiplayer. Also Rome 2 never drops below 30 FPS with all settings maxed, no matter how big the battles are. I don't really have any other modern games to test it with, but graphics don't come much better than those two.

Also I'd like to point out to the person that said I spent 1.1k and got nothing to show for it that in that price of £1,102 was...

Windows 7 - £79 (my sister's having my old PC so I bought a new code)
Mouse - £19
Keyboard - £15
2 extra fans which I probably didn't need but bought anyway - £9

So for your information I spent £980 on a PC and got nothing to show for it :yes: Basically what you're saying is that if I'd spent an extra £320 I could have got slightly better hardware. So thanks for that awesomely useful bit of information. Now you've informed me of it I'm going to be so sad playing all the latest games with all the graphics maxed out at 40-60 FPS.

You could at least get a better hard drive.

Well said. I'm glad you are happy with your machine. It sounds great to me!

Yeah man, it's great. Bought a new monitor yesterday too. Not a brilliant one, £139 and 23" but it's much better than my old one (in the last picture). I slouch in my armchair when I'm gaming and on the old monitor the screen would go darker the lower you were beneath it. Unless your eyes were dead center level with the middle of the screen, looked crap. Not this one though, it's awesome. I can slouch like the slob that I am, with Wotsits on my chest to eat inbetween deaths on BF4. Oh yes. On my awesome PC I couldn't be happier with.

If anybody wants a game of BF4 you can add me to Origin. I think my name is DavesTheName. If that doesn't work... I dunno.

Really nice rig. Liking the case. Hopefully getting mine tomorrow aswell. Looking at your pics have made me even more impaitent. May have to get BF4 for it aswell. Ive chosen the same gfx card as you so thats put my mind at rest seeing as you say it preforms well. Will post it up with pics when I get it.

Yeah no worries, it performs like no other in BF4. Every single setting is as high as it'll go and it's just a solid 60 FPS. I've seen one FPS drop. It went to 20 when I was inside a huge building that collapsed and the screen was completely engulfed in smoke but it only lasted 3 or 4 seconds and it doesn't happen unless you're inside it when it collapses. Apart from that, smooth as you like.
