    PCSPECIALIST Help with gaming build please

    Thank you both for the feedback, i'll take a look at the AMD graphics card. Sck451, you mentioned a good air cooler, is there anything you'd recommend? I think with the graphics while I want the game to run smoothly, it's more about it looking pretty rather than cranking out a few extra fps.

    PCSPECIALIST Vortex IX first look

    Looking at YouTube review on the chassis it was recommended to place the laptop on a stand, apparently the rubber feet block a lot of the airflow from the fans. Lifting the back of the laptop reduced temps by 6-8 degrees

    Also is there much benefit of using a Samsung QVO as my second storage drive over a 1TB HHD 7200rpm? It would mainly be used for storing music, videos and photos. Thank you

    PCSPECIALIST Advice on a new gaming desktop

    Hi, I was hoping for some advice on a new gaming desktop PC. Last year I posted on the forum and got some very helpful advice, and since then decided to wait for Kaby Lake, and then Ryzen to look at the bench marks.
