    PCSPECIALIST High-end PC for gaming and 3D art

    Apologies for the late response! Thanks so much for your input, I wasn't aware of the launch of the latest range being so soon in 2025. We can hold off until the new year and save a bit when the GPU market stabilises. Thanks for the tips on the CPU, Mo-bo and cooling. I'm not fully up to date...

    PCSPECIALIST Case front-fan making continuous clicking sound

    Hi guys, thanks for the replies! The clicking seems to have subsided for now. I took the front panel off and gave the fan a clean and checked to be sure there was nothing blocking it. It seems to come and go randomly (which is a little annoying as I'd rather be able to ID the issue) If it...

    PCSPECIALIST PC for a 3D Artist

    Ah ok that's good to know, haven't used M.2 drives before, little behind the curve there. Yeah I may add extra storage down the line, but I'll see how far the M.2 drives get me. As you say, probably wont need the 1000W for the storage, but it seems having a bit extra isn't too bad. It looks...

    PCSPECIALIST High-Performance Mini-ITX Build

    Hello all, So I have decided to move into Mini-ITX territory for me next PC build. My aim is to have something that is high-powered and efficient, but has a clean minimalist aesthetic. This is my first Mini-ITX PC, so I am not that experienced with the ins-and-outs of computers like these. If...
