I'm glad you found it useful. The wait time is massively frustrating but believe me, it is worth it. They really do build top quality systems. I am using an AOC CQ32G1 - it's a 1440p setup. It certainly isn't the fanciest monitor going but the value for money is excellent. I may look to...

Just on the RAM, my build was very similar to yours, and partly the same use case (adobe). I enquired about 32gb ram @ 3600 as it wasn’t available on the builder at the time. I was told by PCS (rightly or wrongly) that it is likely that the higher frequency RAM didn’t pair well with the CPU’s at...

Whilst I have only had my PC for a few days, I wanted to provide a review based largely on my experience from initial research all the way to receipt and set up. I went for the spec below, based on a requirement for a system that could support 1440p gaming as well as photo editing in lightroom...

Great. Thanks for clarifying.

Hey guys. New system arrived yesterday and I’m very happy with it. Full review to follow at some point. One question - what is the wire in the picture (red)? It seems to be blocked off like it’s not needed. Can anyone clarify?

Well you have come to the right place for all things PCS. If you let the fora know your budget they can help you, I’m sure. Obviously they’ll only advise on PCS products though. If for Fm only, hard drive speed really isn’t that important either. In fact it makes very little difference once in game.

Hi Lucas. I play A LOT of FM. The game can run on quite a modest system really, even with the 3D engine on. The processor is important however you’d be surprised at how slow a game using a large database is, even on fast processors. You really have to ramp up the database size before you notice...

I’m fairly certain you’ve made these points elsewhere. I don’t think anybody is questioning your right to be frustrated but you’re wasting your own time writing these long posts, just to cover the same old ground. To put it in simple terms, you have two options in front of you: 1) cancel the...

I can't say I have ever checked the production facilities of any business before purcashing from them. Even if you mean in a professional sense, I'm not sure what you gain from that method. As ubuysa states above, the image is likely to be out of date - it certainly won't represent what is...

you have to give them some credit for the extent of the detective work though 😂

my mind has hit the gutter...

A slight aside but i've just had a look at their trust pilot page. Seems that (a) people are leaving reviews about products years old and; (b) reviewing before they've even received their pc/laptop. It really blows my mind. Talk about kicking somebody when they're metaphorically down.

I managed to nudge the cost of my build up quite successfully. Ah well...

Parts are not allocated to the your order until the build. So yes, an item being out of stock will lead to a delay. On your second question, you can amend your order to your hearts content up to the the building stage, without any time penalty. I would call PCS to ask them when your original...

To be completely fair to PCS, I spoke to them over live chat last week and they guided to this week as a build date. Perhaps some luck, but my point was that you have at least some visibility over where they are in the queue.

OK, so a quick update. My system has entered build today. I am/was on working day 22 (21 if you take into account the bank holiday) - ordered on 25/5/20. I have been keeping a keen eye on stock levels and I don't think anything i've selected will cause further delays. Obviously you can not...

^i sent a message to them about two and half weeks ago and it took them 3ish days to reply. If you’re disgruntled I’d urge you to phone them, although it’s tough to get through as it’s so busy. Live chat seems the easiest way to get through at the moment however the info you get is a bit...

Just some reckless abandon.

Very kind of you to say, thank you. I'm lucky that the PC is simply for pleasure and has no impact on my day to day whatsoever. Frustrated, yes, but also mindful that there isn't anything I can do about it (and it gives me a chance to sort my garden out...!)

I used live chat, which seems a little easier to get through on. In all honesty, I am not holding out much hope that any update is correct, they've been wrong twice and it is an estimate after all. At least the weather is good this week. I plan to be outside as much as possible, rather than...
