    PCSPECIALIST Advice on spec, please

    Hi All, I'd be really grateful for some advice on the specs below, which pretty much hits my budget limit. I could stretch to a little more if there's significant gain/future proofing to be had. The only high end stuff I need is for gaming, things like the upcoming Total War Three Kingdoms...

    PCSPECIALIST Usb 3.0

    Slightly confused. If I buy a rig with the Asus M4A 87TD USB3.0 Mboard (or any other USB3 Mboard), does it come with two rear external USB3.0 ports or do I need to add an internal USB3 card?

    PCSPECIALIST Question about RAM

    Hi, I'm new to the forum and this is my first post, though I bought a great PC from PC Specialist just over three years ago, and am still very pleased with it. However, I'm looking to buy a new, more powerful base rig in the next few months, to network with the old one, so will have some...
