I would disagree with that sentiment, but it's up for debate. In a court of law I don't think your position would carry any weight. I'm not a lawyer though. Keep in mind I have no affiliation with PCS. I'm a volunteer to help people like yourself so I'm not giving a biased opinion, it's a true...

I don't think it would come to it and I hope common sense will prevail (although keep in mind we only know one side to this story) but you have to realise that what you did fell out-with the guidelines and the terms and conditions. I understand that what you did with the packaging was done with...

DDU not working doesn't point to the GPU unfortunately. DDU would work with or without a GPU installed so it sounds like something else. That may be the reason for the requirement to RMA the whole PC rather than just the GPU. Typically with a GPU fault, the GPU itself is RMA'd rather than the...

Normally with a GPU RMA this would be covered with a replacement being sent out for you to swap and return the faulty one. Was this never offered as an option?

The screws themselves won't be numbered but the location they are screwing into on the pressure plate should be embossed. They are on my laptop as well. I have 2 that have stickers with the numbers on them also.

I guess the backtesting data programs are scalable by cores? I'm not so sure you will get 5x faster with 2x the cores, what is the spec of the current server?

The B650 TUF is a good motherboard. No need for anything above that when gaming. When the budget is high, a more premium board could be considered but it would be the last thing on the last past what is required. I was just over budget when speccing, there's nothing I would lower to afford the...

With the budget in mind this is what I would look at: Case LIAN LI LANCOOL 215 GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Eight Core CPU (4.2GHz-5.0GHz/104MB w/3D V-CACHE/AM5) Motherboard ASUS® TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI (AM5, DDR5, PCIe 4.0, Wi-Fi 6) Memory (RAM) 32GB Corsair VENGEANCE...

Unfortunately the build is hugely compromised by the budget. It's just not feasible to get a good gaming PC for £1000. Those games you mention aren't too bad for being process hungry but the last thing you want to do is build a system that covers them but needs the bin when your aspirations...

From your requirements I don't think you need anything overly heavy duty, the build you have specced looks good but there are some changes I would definitely make. The PCS drive I wouldn't have for any important information. It's a bit of an unknown with questionable endurance. I would want a...

There's nothing wrong with the offer of the alternative aesthetic. My point was the way it was presented suggested that the 5000X wasn't going to offer good performance. As with everything, the wording and presentation of the information is key. Having read this post (which was a lot in honesty...

It's definitely not what we would have recommended, the PSU will be right on the cusp of crashing the system when at full chat unfortunately. There's an assumption that you understand the configurator is a guide, unfortunately the manufacturers have effectively made standard power calculators...

My money is on Norton. It's a memory leak in itself. Just get rid of that for starters and see where you land. If it still happens then just get to the point where it's looking off again and post the same screenshot.

If the CPU means a 33% drop in performance then that's a huge bottleneck on the system. If you are happy with the 130FPS average then save money on the GPU over the CPU. The situation you are describing makes absolutely no sense as the last thing you want to be is CPU limited, it just shows a...

Remove norton. Should do away with most of your issues. We would never recommend any 3rd party AV as there are so many issues with them. Looks like Radeon is pooling a fair chunk as well without using it. I wouldn't be overly concerned though. A commit of memory isn't the same as it being utilised.

Should be able to get into the BIOS regardless of a drive failure. If it's not letting you in, it's possibly that the drive has cooked and the system is waiting on a response before taking you into the BIOS. One easy way to check is disconnect the SSD drive sata cable and then re-attempt...

I would also consider the 4070 Ti. I know it's a fair bit more wedge but I think it will really give you that one and done WOW factor that you're looking for. It takes you out of the budget but if you got the build above with the 4070Ti and the monitor suggested, it would be a fantastic pairing...

Lian Li is excellent too, it's a little less conventional in the airflow as it comes from the side rather than the front. As long as the location of the case suits then should be fine. You won't need to worry about overkill on the fans.

Yes, those are super ultrawide but anything ultrawide + is going to be better.

Samsung fell of the pedestal a while back. The Corsair is the best for quality & longevity, it's what I would want for reliance and speed. If you think you'll use a cache drive for your processes then it's definitely worthwhile. Don't need to go for anything crazy though. Always keep the...
