High doesn't make games feel smoother, not sure where you heard that, all it does is increase your reaction window. But 99.9% of humans can't tell any difference over 120Hz Don't be suckered into influencers. Take some actual knowledge from experienced gamers and buy a decent monitor rather...

You'd need to register it with PCS which will activate your account and warranty. If you flash a BIOS without their approval you void your warranty.

I take it you've never actually played at high refresh, are you coming from console? Have you been measured above 120Hz?

All these tools are free, don't download any trials, they should all have a purely free version Firstly we'd stress the CPU Best way is to download HWMonitor from here https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html Reboot the PC and have hardware monitor open on the side, then start either...

I am finding setting up Plex in Docker a little challenging, had it all working and picking up my configuration folder from a mounted partition outside of the container, but it ended up corrupting the database which then caused issues with performance generally. I'm not certain what I did wrong...

You can't use the test windows, it's not setup, you'll invariably face instability and certainly reduced performance as the driver layer won't be properly configured. Mint is great, but it's extremely restrictive and not really suitable for the kinds of workflows I need it for and support for...

Nah, you'd need to be getting 25% off their normal prices which would be around 35-40% off their current prices for it to be remotely worth it Nowhere has offered a deal actually worth it in value so far, I've been watching closely

I just wouldn't be buying a PC now, prices are insane because they've stopped production of GPU's and CPU's are currently in short supply The next gen GPU's are announced in the first week of January for release shortly after, I would wait until then.

500ish will get you around a 70 tier which is a good option, not only as it has more raw power, but especially for video editing and design applications, VRAM is all important and the higher you go, the more you get. At the 70 tier you're looking at 12Gb VRAM or more which is far far better than...

You’d be paying hundreds of pounds more for less performance. Unless you have particularly aggressive sexual tendencies or you're Irish that just makes very little sense? (fully intended as a LOL) You don’t save any money at the same tier, you’ll just get a modern card rather than one that’s...

None currently, they've stopped production, it's right at the end of the product cycle, they're way overpriced as in short supply and will be comfortably beaten by a lower tier once next gen are released in january. 5000 NVidia and 8000 AMD series are announced at CES in the first week of...

You wouldn't be able to get a custom PC, mini or otherwise at that budget, currently due to GPU's having stopped production and CPU's being in low supply prices are through the roof and it's around £1700 for an entry level system, but that would be 1080p, no way it would be powerful enough to...

You'd need to contact PCS then and get the account recovered. Without an account we can't offer any support.

Is this a pcspecialist system? Can you copy and paste your full specs from the order page?

The Toms Hardware bit needs to be updated, this appears to be more before OLED panels hit the market as things like VAs and IPS having lower refresh rates than TN was overcome a while ago The Hardware Unboxed video is very good.

The RX6600 requires 450w min, on an ATX2 PSU to be completely safe with transient spikes you’d want a 900w ATX2 PSU or 550w ATX3. That PSU is ATX2 so it could unquestionably be a factor. The AIO is fine for the 5800x The windows definitely seems borked to me though
