Yes, the AOC is £10 more on Amazon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=AOC+G2590PX+24.5%22+144HZ&i=computers&ref=nb_sb_noss
I think with the flat screen I’m trying to keep some semblance that this isn’t just a PC just for gaming- !? But see your point re it limits options.
Thanks for monitor...
Hi, had great advice on here (thanks @Nursemorph @Scott) and after sleeping on it decided to go from 75Hz to 144Hz spec meaning an upgrade of graphics card and monitor. 90% there so appreciate a once over on spec and check on 144Hz monitor - the one I wanted was AOC G2590PX 24.5” but that’s out...
That makes sense for a balanced spec - given budget will go ahead and order spec @Nursemorph posted & can always upgrade monitor and graphics in the future.
Thanks both for taking the time to look this over 🧐 and brushing up the spec, appreciate it(y)(y)
@Nursemorph, @Scott - thanks, compared 2 specs - given still got keyboard and mouse to get will go for the @Nursemorph spec and as you say, that also gives capacity to upgrade graphics and monitor in the future as outlined in @Scott spec.
Before I go ahead and order, I couldn’t see what the...
Hi, here’s link (full revised spec in above post) - Unique URL to re-configure: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-am4-gen3-pc/HvP9a93z4E/
Read Scott’s guide the other day, really helpful & clear and hope I’ve followed his advice - here’s the latest spec version, differs from the one at start of thread given forum advice with change to motherboard (gone up to B550), GPU (gone up to 1660), and PSU (gone up to TXm 550). Coming in at...
This will be my son’s first gaming PC (started off he was going to get a bog standard off the shelf computer for his start at secondary school but that’s now changed somewhat both spec and budget-wise!) he will need to do school stuff but will be gaming/streaming. Issue may be £1,100 budget (?)...
That really helps me with the spec, appreciated - couple of follow ups
- for the PSU, the Corsair Ultra Quiet is a bit more £ but do you know if it actually does what it says, have seen mixed reviews
- thanks for checking the monitor in the spec is 144hz (I couldn’t find that info!) - but as...
Hi, this forum is great and I’d really appreciate a spec check on gaming PC & monitor. New to this so welcome opinions on whether this is a good, balanced, future proofed spec and advice on any amendments.
Budget max £1,100. For my 12 year old son to use for gaming and schoolwork. Please also...
Hi, be grateful for spec check - good entry level gaming PC for 12 year old, also needed for schoolwork, £1,100 max budget. In particular, thoughts on (1) processor - 3600 out of stock so opted for 3600X or is 3300X as good an option? (2) motherboard - selected 550 but is 450 as good? (3)...
