I went to buy the spec presented here and there are a lot of conflicts around the power unit and USB ports etc etc https://www.pcspecialist.ie/saved-configurations/amd-am5-pc/gAjEeWnxJf/ I just wondering if anyone can help with the spec that it is compatible? I'm fine with reducing the number...

Perfect - that's good enough for me. I had my one and only AMD chip in a machine back late 90's, early 2000's. It was not the best experience. I guess times change :)

Would you recommend to not go with Intel over AMD here or did you do it due to price?

Thanks very much. God I have deja vu from the timing of my request - is it fair to say I'm probably always a few months behind something that would be better if I waited? I'll go over the spec now, and, if ok, I'll fire back any questions, but from a glance it looks great.

A poster said to wait for some changes to happen in the coming months and I waited and then circumstances changed (new house, a kid etc) so just back to being able to finance this again! This time I need to buy within the next few weeks!

Hello Everyone, A couple of years ago, I posted here seeking advice on a desktop build after years of relying solely on a laptop. I'm reaching out again and would greatly appreciate your help. My usage includes: Video and image editing/production Running multiple development containers...

Thanks sck451 - so the AMD is the chip of preference? I was reading various articles and it seems to be siding with INTEL of late. That's mainly the reason for the request.

Thanks for the recommendation. Anyone able to recommend a spec with an Intel chip rather than AMD? Cheers in advance! Or SpyderTracks is it a case of just changing it in your spec?

Good day to you all, Having had a laptop for the last 20 years (and realising it is almost permanently stationary on my desk for the majority of that time) I am looking at the option of getting a desktop instead (in the belief I can get more for my money than in a laptop....) A few months ago I...

Hi folks, I waited as per the suggestion in the second post so could I ask if anyone has a refreshed spec they would recommend for the same requirements in my opening post? :)

Just checked the price and it's over 3,600 euro - I'm hoping to come in under 3,300 euro. Any modifications you'd make to get it down?

Thanks for that - all makes perfect sense!

Thanks for that spec! Silly question but there are two SSD drives, I assume the logic is installing applications that need fast access on 500GB and ones needing it less so on 2GB?

In case this machine up and dies and as much as I'd like to wait I can't... would you guys have any recommended specs within the price range above :) And thanks for the fast replies so far!
