Superb service and fantastic PC!

[Aktasakplays]

I ordered my PC from PCS on 30/09/2020 and it arrived on 13/10/2020. Excellent service and it arrived in perfect condition ready for set up.

I am unbelievably happy with my purchase from PCS, I finally got the PC I have dreamed of and I hope it’ll last me for many years to come and upgrades when needed! The entire wait time was 8 working days for my PC which was quick as I expected a longer wait time due to current circumstances in the world! So thank you PCS for giving such excellent service.

I have played Skyrim and Black Desert Online at the moment, I am planning to install RDR2 at some point so I can finally play without my horse looking like a blob. 🤣🤣

Great looking setup!

 

[slimbob]

Looks awesome .
Enjoy

That GPU looks like you shrunk it in the wash It looks so tiny....then again the case does look like the Tardis (much bigger on the inside) as it seems to be big enough to fit a full-size keyboard

Seriously though...looks good

At least it's got plenty of room to breathe in there!

@Nursemorph, send me a DM when you get a minute, I can't seem to send you one....

Excellent shout on RDR2. I am currently trying to clear my backlog of games. I am working through Assassins Creed Origins then I am moving on to RDR2!

Bahahah, I was a little shocked when I took the case out to find the GPU was only a single fan, I did expect a dual fan. 😂😂 However, temps on the little guy are great.

I have that case, I was thinking when I got it from PCS i would just turn off the Lights to blue as I never had RGB, with RGB on ram cooler and such, Imma not lie i need MORE RGB lol.

Really happy you are please with the build, I hope you have many hours of gaming

EDIT: spelling

PC update after one month:
Things are still running as they should, I did reset the pc a few weeks ago because a few things were not working as they should etc etc. But everything is running fine now and I’m pretty much all set up! I’m still fiddling with lighting on my cooler, I can’t seem to decide which lighting. 😆

I also replaced the black stock exhaust fan with a Cougar HPB ARGB fan, I am also looking at either diffusing the RGB light strips or replacing them with the Phanteks neon tube lights.

Another update: I’ve been having some issues with Razer Synapse and Corsair iCue clashing for whatever reason. I’d get random freezing at the login screen on windows and then it would black screen and take me back to the log in screen. I eliminated iCue as when I spoke on the phone to a very helpful man, Charles, he thinks that iCue is the possible culprit and said that I should use Synapse until Corsair fix the bug with the black screen and freezing (Apparently it’s a very common issue if you look on their forums). It’s a shame I had to remove it as I enjoyed the customisation it gave me for my cooler and ram. Other than that, the rig is running fabulously.

Figured I’d edit this post instead of creating another post but it turns out my freezing issues were not caused by iCue nor Razer but RGB fusion 2.0! The program is quite honestly a piece of garbage to the point it takes forever to load at start up, hanging my entire PC for about a minute before allowing me to successfully enter my password, I must mention that it also does this when loaded up manually as well. I’ve trashed the program and I’m in the process of figuring out how to hook up the small ARGB controller to my pc so I can control the fans lighting via the reset button.

Figured I’d do a one year update of the pc, well it was one year in October but who cares.

I had to get the cooler replaced in the December but everything is all fine and dandy now…next step is possibly upgrading PSU and GPU!

Not much to say really but the PC is still running great!

Upgraded the power supply (850w), graphics card (RX 6800xt) and rear fan, plus some fancy new cables. Thanks to @JUNI0R. 😁
