I think the component shortages definitely make it a bad time. I ordered my PC Spec just yesterday and to be hones I have no idea whether I will get it in 10 days or 10 weeks or even longer. From the other perspective of timing for new hardware releases, I think it is difficult to pin point an...

Have just ordered a new PC and understand there is clearly shortages of AMD 6800 and Ryzen 5 and these are flagged as pre-order. But there is no information on potential wait times, unless I am missing something ? So I could get my PC in 10 working days or 10 weeks. Does anyone have any...

I presently have a PC Specialist PC that I bought 4 years ago with Windows 10 OEM installed, I plan on buying a new PC in the next week or so. My question is do I really need to spend £77 on having Windows Preinstalled on the new PC ? Is there any way I can transfer my OEM Windows Version and...

Wanted to keep this around £1500 but could not quite manage it. Not keen to spend much more than this but is this is a good spec to order right now ? Should I wait ? Go down NVidea / Intel route HP Reverb G2 due to land on 1st Dec and will be using it with my feeble GTX 1060 if I do not...

Am awaiting my Reverb G2 and present PC simply will not cut it in order to run VR in full resolution. So here is my sub £1500 solution Would be really interested in what you guys think. Playing on my mind is the new GPU and Processor offerings forthcoming from AMD so am I better off waiting a...

Thanks all for your comments. Appreciate it - think you have convinced me not to touch it

Its an HP-Z1 Tower G5.

No it is HP - Its an eye catching price for a spec that has an RTX2080, 512 SSD and 9700 But it states a Q370 chipset motherboard which is possibly where the savings come in. Just want peoples opinions on this chipset and whether or not it will seriously impede it as a gaming PC (considering...

HI All I have the chance to buy this spec at £1249 Only issue I have with it is that the motherboard is an Intel Q370 and I understand those motherboards are limiting for gaming ? To be honest though, I have never overclocked a PC in my life so am not a performance freak and just want a PC...

Hello All Am excited about the new HP Reverb G2 headset but only snag is that my PC below does not meet the minimum requirements. My question please for help is should I upgrade the below spec ? For example will the motherboard drag down my upgraded components , or even work with them...

I'm a casual gamer and have been debating whether to go for this instead of a Playstation Pro. I know this is twice the price but I will use it for a lot more than games I want it to be silent - are the more expensive PSU's worthwhile ? Also will be hooking up to a projector and audio...

I have an urge to get back into gaming but am debating whether to stick with PC or for the first time in my life try a console. I'd be interested to hear peoples thoughts. I would not be an avid gamer, just occasional but still want to play the latest games to a good spec (type I would buy...

Dear All I want to get back into PC games after a long absence. I'll be an occasional gamer, not an enthusiast but still I would like to be able to play the latest games at a good graphics level and speed. My key things I want are Silence (Hence the expensive case) Quick Start Up (Hence...
