    PCSPECIALIST Any comments on a build before I spend a lot of money?

    Agree with @Grinty but for purely gaming you will only want 16gb of RAM anyway

    PCSPECIALIST Newbie to gaming PC - how does this spec look

    The power supply is more than you need, however its better quality, semi-modular so less wires, means better thermals and allows upgrading to newer graphics cards.

    PCSPECIALIST RIP Laptop. :'(

    Looking at the delivery options it appears to be British Isles, Ireland and Europe. The is an option for British Forces Post Office (If you serve) that would be worldwide. I only bring this up as i'd completely missed it myself a few days ago.

    PCSPECIALIST Newbie to gaming PC - how does this spec look

    As an example Threw in a 1tb hdd and faster m.2 drive (could get 1 bigger m.2) The x570 motherboard will allow you to upgrade the cpu, and m.2 to pcie4 and the power supply should be plenty for a gpu upgrade. Case NZXT H511 MID-TOWER GAMING CASE (WHITE) Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Six...

    PCSPECIALIST Newbie to gaming PC - how does this spec look

    To be honest i'd swap the 3600x for the 3600 and the 1660ti for the 1660s. You'll also want a better power supply, faster m.2 drive instead of the sata ssd and 16gb of faster RAM. What did the above come too and whats your max budget?

    PCSPECIALIST what sort of performance to expect

    Is the laptop for gaming only or do you need 32gb for other reasons (work, streaming etc). You'll also want your second set of RAM to match what you currently have or it'll only run to the lowest speed. As mentioned above ideally you'll want 2 matched pairs either 2x8 or 2x16 of the same speed...

    PCSPECIALIST PS5 and XBox Series X

    Clearly the time is right to purchase a second PC to handle the streaming.... The Inferno is good :LOL:

    PCSPECIALIST PS5 and XBox Series X

    I'm on the side of like - another black box in the corner would annoy me. Also will be intrested to see what they do with some of the limited edition consoles. (Cyberpunk 2077 vase???)

    PCSPECIALIST My potential 1st new p.c i'm looking to get

    For what you specced and the Inferno I suggested you'd want to be looking for a 1440p 144hz monitor. A budget one would set you back £250 -£350. If you don't intend to upgrade your monitor's anytime soon you could really dial back the build.

    PCSPECIALIST My potential 1st new p.c i'm looking to get

    I'd consider looking into the Inferno It has the better processor, better motherboard and the faster m.2. All in all you get a fair saving as the review is set at £1500 but you can't change anything.

    PCSPECIALIST Spec advice sought... paranoid about cooling

    You have good RAM and motherboard selections. The x570 will take the next line of chips 4000 series and if AMD keep going the way they are perhaps the 5000 too. Getting the cheaper card now and upgrading it when you need too (new nvida card and AMD at the end of the year) and putting the pennies...

    PCSPECIALIST My potential 1st new p.c i'm looking to get

    What did this come too and whats you maximum budget? What are your uses, gaming, streaming or work etc. What monitor do you have resolution and refresh rate?

    PCSPECIALIST Spec advice sought... paranoid about cooling

    If your gaming at 1080 you could knock quite a bit off that. Do you stream or do any work that requires that processor? High end 1080 would only require 3600 (or poss 3300x) and 1660 super.

    PCSPECIALIST Cities skylines, Planet Coaster, FS2020 - does this spec match my needs?

    Do you have a seperate budget for a new monitor? (1440 144hz start around £350) This would have a significant impact on a build we suggest as you would need a much better GPU. Otherwise you could get a good 1080 spec to improve later down the road.

    PCSPECIALIST First Pc

    Is this for gaming? Whats your max budget and what monitor, resolution and refresh rate? Generally, the 3600 will be fine with stock cooler and normal paste. Faster RAM (3200 or 3600). The sata ssd storage should be swapped for an m.2 ssd (much faster) and there is better wifi cards. The case...

    PCSPECIALIST Build check and 2 component questions

    I think the general consensus is that onboard audio is currently very good... however if better is required an external DAC is the best option. However not my area of expertise. And as @Nursemorph stated, its about the next gen chips - AMD say they might work but may need bios updates and won't...

    PCSPECIALIST Build check and 2 component questions

    1660s super should be fine for 1080 144hz (not up to date with AMD cards but hear they have driver issues) A better case from a thermal perspective. 16 gb of the fastest RAM which AMD love A semi-modular power supply - better thermals and quality Windows is very easy to self install The 6...

    PCSPECIALIST Build check and 2 component questions

    Looks like you are in the wrong configurator. I assume this is going to be a gaming machine. AMD Config This has the newer CPUs and memory choices Also if you list your uses, budget and monitor resolution and refresh rate people can suggest builds.
