Good advice, thank you. I dont really mind exchanging parts out, used to do that a lot with PC builds back in the day (Pentium 3 etc, Voodoo cards :) ) I'll have a good think about it all again :)

Hey, thanks for the quick replies. - When was the last time you reinstalled Windows and completely formatted the main drive? Windows will get slower over time which will impact everything so might be worth doing that if not done for a while/ever. Never had to reformat, and i do feel Windows 10...

Hey folks, I have been thinking about upgrades as my rigg is getting somewhat slow with more modern games. Currently have the below: STRIX Z270E GAMING Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW 16gb RAM I would like to upgrade the graphics card, and understand...

Hi folks, My daughter has taken over my last build 1080ti and she has been saving really well this year to get her own gaming PC. I was thinking of the below spec, mainly for Sims 4 and Fortnight, but possibly getting into basic video editing. Your thoughts on this is always very much...

I recently purchased a Dell S2716DG 27-inch Gaming Monitor however noticed it has one dead pixel and slight clouding at the bottom, looks a lot like two finger prints. Its not even noticeable during general use only when the screen is one shade of black...but i know its there. Amazon gave me...

I have just ordered a new PC with the 1080ti, however does anyone know what version it is? Variation of card, specs? Also do desktop PC get shipped with the various boxes?

Haven't used a desktop PC for gaming in probably 15 years and the past two laptops were from PC Specialist.........but I have now just ordered this.......thanks for all the advice on the build. I will likely over clock it myself. Case CORSAIR SPEC-04 MID TOWER GAMING CASE - BLACK/RED Processor...

I have had two gaming laptops from PC Specialist in the past, both of which have been great however the current one is ageing now and I'm thinking about a desktop instead. Case doesn't need to be fancy as it'll be stored inside a desk and i'm looking for something that would last a good few...

:yes: I hope to provide a more in depth review of this, but I just wanted to let you all know that the laptop arrived and it is a stunner! The laptop so far has exceeded my expectations of just how good a gaming laptop can be. It is a solid piece of equipment with nice cool metal finishes...

So cant wait for this game.....practically the reason I'm buying a new gaming laptop from PCS. I haven't played it on xbox or PS3 but I just know I'm gonna love it. What are your thoughts on it?

Just wanted to point this out as it appears although the GTX 880M I just ordered laptop seems to be exempt from this deal. I think this should really be highlighted somewhere that the deal does not apply to laptop orders. Bit odd that, due to the gfx card is a GTX. Clicking on the offer...

Just ordered this! Cant frigging wait. Chassis & Display Vortex Series: 17.3" Matte Full HD LED Widescreen (1920x1080) Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-4710MQ (2.50GHz) 6MB Memory (RAM) 8GB KINGSTON HYPER-X IMPACT 1600MHz SODIMM DDR3 (1 x 8GB) Graphics Card...

Was looking at getting this, but not sure about Windows 8 or stick with 7? Also should I go for the quad core? Chassis & Display Vortex Series: 17.3" Matte Full HD LED Widescreen (1920x1080) Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i7 Dual Core Mobile Processor i7-4610M (3.0GHz) 4MB Memory (RAM) 8GB...

Also took this quick image in game, 42 FPS not too shabby! :)
