    PCSPECIALIST Building a new gaming PC

    Another misconception is that some people think the PSU means it's constantly consuming that amount of power, that's not the case, it's just the headroom available. You're not building the PC to your current requirements, but what may be required in 10 years time, so you provision the PSU to...

    PCSPECIALIST Virtualisation turn on .. RESOLVED

    Virtualisation is normally on by default on desktop mobo's anyway. If you can also post a screenshot of the error as I've never known a game to require virtualisation.

    PCSPECIALIST HDD no longer initialising

    Is it both the HDD's that are showing as uninitialised? That would be concerning, the fact they're showing in device manager means that they're being physically seen from being plugged into the motherboard through to being recognised in windows itself. The fact they're uninitialised suggests...

    PCSPECIALIST Building a new gaming PC

    So yes, that's confusing a custom loop cooler which costs over £500 for the water kit and pumps etc, with a closed loop cooler or AIO which is an entirely sealed unit, doesn't have any liquid in it anyway, so even if it did leak it wouldn't cause any damage, and doesn't require any maintenance...

    PCSPECIALIST Is this build a good alternative to a console?

    That was at the time, it's not relevant now, games constantly update and upgrade to new technologies, a GPU from 3 generations ago will not be able to maintain the same performance in newer titles. You seem to be expecting a PC to be like a console, it's an entirely different thing, you can't...

    PCSPECIALIST Building a new gaming PC

    What are your reasons for this? A lot of people are misinformed about AIOs or get them confused with watercoolers which are an entirely different thing. 7800x3d is last generation, Intel are DOA, we’d recommend a current gen AMD

    PCSPECIALIST Help & Advice please

    No problem, it would be perfect for a first gaming PC and has some room to grow.

    That's a lower spec. That has a 4060 instead of a 4060ti, they both have 8Gb VRAM. It's the GPU we're talking about, not the RAM.

    PCSPECIALIST Help & Advice please

    As said, you’d likely need to upgrade the PSU when you upgrade the GPU. To get it comfortable, I’d want to replace the RAM with 2 x 16gb DDR4 3600MHz Id want a second PCIe 3 NVME drive of 1Tb or above just for games But that’s all it really needs to get it up to scratch (until GPU upgrade)...

    PCSPECIALIST Help & Advice please

    You need to be aware that the pre-built options will normally restrict components in the platform such as PSU, motherboard and case which can limit upgrade potential. The other drawback worth highlighting is RTX 4060ti 8Gb - This is too low on the VRAM for some modern games which require up to...

    Why on earth are you reading all this as me being rude? Seriously? We've asked 6 times for the same info, and you've still not provided what's been asked for. Perhaps some self evaluation is required?

    PCSPECIALIST Is this build a good alternative to a console?

    I give up, all the best, if you're having this much trouble using a forum, then I don't think you're ready for a custom PC, you're going to really struggle managing windows.

    PCSPECIALIST Is this build a good alternative to a console?

    Until you answer all of the question raised and post as requested, there's nothing we can do except say that build makes zero sense. You're not helping us yet expecting us to somehow magically be able to help you. Think about it. We've asked kindly several times now, it's down to you in how you...

    PCSPECIALIST Rate my setup :)

    You haven't posted the specs as in the guide so we can't edit it You've got a sub optimal CPU in the config, it's also far more expensive than an appropriate cpu, there are other factors also that need changing.
