Excellent, I'll aim to get this then!

Having looked further at this, I'd plan on buying and sending in the Corsair iCue 5000X RGB case instead of the Lian Li Lancool as above. I'm assuming this new case would be compatible with the configuration I've chosen? Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for a PC that can handle games (i.e. modded Skyrim, F3, FNV, and Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077) at good FPS at 1440p (I have two Gigabyte M27Q 1440p 170hz monitors for this setup), as well as handle Photoshop and Illustrator, and coding/machine learning simulations. My maximum budget...

Hi all, I've put together a spec for a laptop (which I would like to keep at 17.3" screen size) that can easily play the Sims 4 and which has a French keyboard/OS language. Could you please give your feedback on the spec, and recommend anything you would improve/remove, as I feel like it might...

I'm looking for a PC that is capable of playing a mixture of old (Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, all modded) and new (Halo MCC, Cyberpunk) games with good FPS (ideally 60+), as well as being able to run Photoshop well and do WFH. My price range is £1500 but this is give or take couple of...

Thanks for the video links, they were helpful. I'll have more of a think on the configuration, but all of the suggestions have been very useful.

Thanks for that. I don't mind waiting 1-2 months for the 60TI if that is what is required. Two questions: 1) you mentioned £1650 could get both the better storage and graphics card, did you mean the 60TI + an extra 250GB SSD (and if so, any in particular?), and 2) I chose the original case...

Thanks both. Junior, your build seems good - would I be right in thinking that the RTX 3060TI is pre-order only? Is there an expected date for its availability?

Thanks. I would probably be looking to buy a PC fairly soon, so I may have to stomach the inflated prices. In your view, are the two most recent configurations you posted above the 'optimal' (I'm aware that's subjective) set-ups to attempt to run the kind of games I originally mentioned, given...

Thanks again for the explanations - the builds look good. If I had 10-20 reasonably-sized games in my library, would you recommend the additional cooler or the additional 250GB SSD? Also, do you see prices decreasing soon, or more over the next 6 months to a year?

Thanks for all your help so far. I've modified the config link you sent me - if I upped the budget to £1600 do you think the below would be a good set-up for 1440p gaming? Also, two questions: 1) do you have an idea when prices will start to go down given the lifting of lockdowns in the UK (and...

I've made an edit to my original post which now includes the config link. I might consider going to the 3060, even if it is a bit more expensive. If I don't plan on upgrading the hardware any time soon, is there a need for 750W or 850W? I've read that the higher this value, the less...

Hi all! I'm looking to get a desktop PC through PCS for the purpose of gaming, Photoshop, and other general tasks. I've had some experience with PCS in the past - I bought a custom laptop through them about 8-9 years ago. I'm looking to be able to be able to play games on the highest settings...

I have an old Optimus laptop bought from PCSpecialist around four or five years ago (perhaps Optimus IV or V) that has had a recurrent issue which has progressively gotten worse namely to do with the Nvidia Optimus software on the laptop. My issue is that my laptop can't seem to recognise the...
