Thanks Spyder. Wow...I knew prices had gone up steeply but hadn't realised they'd gone up that steeply! Ok, so if we pushed the budget up to £1200...?

Hi My current PC (12 year old Dell XPS) recently died and I need to get something sorted as a replacement. I will post a spec on here at some point, but to start with I want to try and narrow down a couple of things. The most strenuous thing it would be used for would probably be photo and...

Thanks Jack - I have spoken with your support department this morning and the return has been authorized

Thank you for the speedy replies. Something has obviously gone rather haywire! I'll get in touch with support tomorrow and start the process of getting it sorted...

By the way, in case it's useful, my spec is as follows: Case: PCS GENESIS G1B CASE + SD CARD READER Processor (CPU): AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Eight Core CPU (3.6GHz-4.4GHz/36MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard: ASUS® PRIME B450-PLUS (DDR4, USB 3.1, 6Gb/s) - RGB Ready! Memory (RAM): 16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4...

Hi everyone My PC has been working fine since I got it last August, but when trying to power it up today, the PSU just makes a clicking noise (regular, every 1 second or so) and nothing further happens. In time with the clicking noise, I can see LED lights inside the case pulsing (i.e. the...

I'm currently spec'ing up a Ryzen 7 PC that needs to be able to connect to 4 monitors. The PC will be used primarily for streaming so will be running OBS, PowerPoint, MediaPlayer, etc. It won't be used for gaming at all and won't need to display 4K video. It's going to be used for live...

Sorry one other question...if I chose to supply my own graphics card, how would that work in terms of PCS building the PC? Would they install one temporarily in order to set it up and then remove it before shipping?

Thanks Scott. In terms of what it's going to be doing, the primary function will be streaming to YouTube via OBS. It's actually going to be streaming to two YouTube channels simultaneously (one in English, one translated) so OBS will be running twice. Video feed is coming in through an external...

Big thanks for this - really helpful. It is coming in a bit over budget, but I get why - I hadn't properly considered the noise aspect of the PSU or CPU cooler. And I hadn't even heard of M.2 SSDs before...! On that subject, I know nothing about liquid coolers - where do they sit in terms of...

Hi I'm trying to spec up a PC that will be used for streaming (not gaming) and there's one aspect I'm not sure about. It needs to be reasonably spec'd as it will be running multiple streams (2 x OBS) as well as various apps and utilities (PowerPoint, Media Player, etc), so we're going for...
