What's your opinion about this spec? Can it be improved for around the same price in any way? I have two GPU's at home, a GTX 450 which is out of the PC this is replacing, and also my main PC's old GTX 570. (Not sure the GTX 570 is functional anymore though, got a burning smell from the PC...

Hi, so I've been trying to build something good to replace a broken down PC. I found this on pcworld: [Link removed - but the details are :i5-4460 CPU, 8 GB RAM, 3 TB HDD (5400rpm), WiFi, PSU: 220W] and when I try to replicate it on PCspecialist with a nicer/better airflow case it ends up way...

Hello again PCS! I've bought two PC's from yourselves in the past, first one was for my gf and her PC has packed in last night. Was having harddrive issues and wouldn't start, wouldn't start with a different harddrive either so it's well and truely dead. Now the question, if I buy a new PC...

Hello all. I'm not normally a laptop kind of gamer, I've ordered a big gaming rig about a year and a half ago from PCS. I know very little about laptops and what normal graphic cards translate into when it comes to Laptop cards so I'd really like some advice. Due to lack of space in my house...

Hello again dear PCS members. Been a while since I was last on here but it seems I've come across a problem with my network card that's been there since day one. I never really bothered to get it fixed with the warrenty while it was active as I simply opted to use a network cable instead...

Hello! I just bought a Plantronics Gamecom 780 headset. The bass is somewhat disappointing and I cannot plug it into my soundcard which has a build in equalizer that can buff up the bass. Now the headset only comes with a USB connector and I'm looking for a converter that turns my USB...

Hello again PCS! I'm a past customer, bought my lovely PC from here August last year. At that time I was very active on the forums and if I recall correctly past customers can in fact buy odd new parts from the website without building a new PC, is this still the case? Or was it ever the...

Right, I'm a sinner. I'm actually using my Xbox360 rather then the PC simply because Dragon's Dogma isn't available on PC. I'm wanting to sit at me PC desk and use my monitor but since I've not got any clue about xbox products I'm wondering what cable I could get (hopefully cheap) in order to...

Another red arrow pilot died today :/, unlike the one a few weeks/months ago that died steering his plane away from the crowd and dying doing so. Whilst the plane was stationary on the ground the chair was ejected accidentally and went up in the air, the parachute failed to deploy :( I've...

So, don't know how many mice I've concidered, I'm still struggling to find a good one. I'll go through some of them. Razer Death Adder: Tried at PCworld, My hands are too big, my ring finger rests uncomfortably on the bend at the front right side, (I hold my mouse with a palm grip, having...

So, went into a local o2 shop yesterday about 5 pm, got a new iphone 4 sorted, got the contract etc, bloke at the shop put the sim in, got home, activated the phone in iTunes and sorted. Used it all evening, this morning when I woke up, it's got "No Service" in the top left hand corner and I...

Maybe PCS could concider adding a note when you build your PC, that if you've selected any of the rare cards like GTX 590/6990, it could give you a warning about how rare they are, and delays may occure with shipments and replacements etc? There's plenty of posts about people waiting for them...

Anyone else really excited about this? The graphics don't look overly impressive at first glance, but they've improved massively since info was first released about it. It's designed with medium specced PC's in mind, whilst still catering for the top specced ones. I quite like the graphics...

So, I'm gonna buy a new mouse soon, I thought I was gonna get the Razer Death Adder, but after going into Curry/PCWorld to have a feel at the mice, it annoyed me, was a nice fit, but on the right side, my finger is too long and is resting on some annoying bend that points outwards, making it...

So, haven't gotten around to writing a review until now, been too busy enjoying my new toy. (Sorry, no pictures :(, no camera, and a very messy house anyway!) So above is my spec. First of all I spent a lot of time refreshing my order status and worrying about delays, when infact there was...

Just a suggestion to PCS, if you get a order for a PC without a OS, could you maybe when you've finished testing it, changing the boot sequence so it's looking for the disc drive instead of the harddrive? Took me some time to figure out how to do it, sorted it but for someone less...

I got the PC this Friday, only problem I've had so far is the wireless network card. It's about 50/50 when I start the PC whether my PC can find the card or not. I've opened up the PC and made sure all components were properly fitted. The network card is firmly in and no problem there, I've...

Firefall Estimated release for december 2011, looks like a mix between Team Fortress 2, Unreal tournament and add some MMO features. Got both PvE and PvP. Best part, which is too good to be true? Free to download, Free to play. No payments needed what so ever. Only payment they take is from...

So, got a few queries about HDD's, defrags, installing and uninstalling programs etc. Up until now, I've never had a PC with a bigger HDD then 300gb. I'll soon be having a 750gb drive. So what I'd like to know is; 1. Does the HDD speeds, loading etc slow down, the more space is used up? 2...

Just a suggestion really, would it be a possibility to have some form of a viewable queue system like your phone system when it comes to the PC building? I've been having my already built PC sit and wait in queue for testing for 4 working days, currently on the 5th working day of just sitting...
