So the guy I was speaking to was likely not a builder as he was part of the sales team. I did look into what he said and his opinion is also valid. Depends who you ask. Some say it's best to take outside air through the AIO radiator to cool it rather than to pass hot air into it, while others...
I wasn't even aware of "pull and push" I thought "exhaust and intake" were the only two options. Is it not advisable then to have the AIO fans set as exhausts? Should I be contacting PCS to revise my note?
Just to let you know, I did go with the majority of what you said. Got the non-x 7900. Got the h100i cooler (not x). Ordered 4 AF120 RGB fans (had to call them for this). Didn't go with the SSD recommendations but my uncle may want to purchase a 2nd SSD in the future where we can mess around...
Well in my own PC I have x2 2TB SSDs. One for Windows and programs, the other to store my files on and some games. I do understand what you are saying. It does come down to cost too though. In an ideal world, I would recommend he get x3 2TB drives lol
Yes, I do agree with what you're saying on...
Regarding storage, my uncle makes regular backups on large USB media. He also has an external HDD which he can use to backup. I store my files on my SSD and I no longer use HDDs. They are slow, heavy, bulky. As long as I regularly backup, I think it's ok going only SSD. Perhaps going 2x 1TB...
I have spoken to my uncle and done some research myself. While video editing is still in the back of his mind, it's not as important as I first thought. I have kept your build @SpyderTracks as a base but made some modifications. I'm spliit between two mindsets regarding the CPU based on this...
Thanks very much. I really appreciate the build suggestion. I agree with a lot of it. It's definitely a solid base to do more research. I'll have to read up regarding the storage
I was going to suggest a modest nvidia 3060 12GB gpu and Intel I5 14600K with 32GB 3200mhz DDR4. Not sure on the motherboard though. I think we don't need to go into as much detail as you're suggesting. He isn't buying a pc competitively to get every last drop of performance. He just wants a...
Video editing is something new to him. He has no specific software in mind. He just knows he wants to get into that area. He has a large dvd collection he wants to transfer to the pc and do basic editing with so processing time matters. I've no software names to give you, that's to be confirmed...
I'm not sure. He tends to have several video editing software from smaller brands. He uses Adobe Photoshop. I assume he will want to use Adobe Premiere. Doesn't have to be pinpoint perfection, just half decent for general basic video editing and photo editing.
My uncle has a budget of £1000 but could stretch to perhaps £1500 if absolutely necessary. No monitor is needed (he has a 1440p one). He wants a PC for basic video and photo editing. No gaming is required but possible use of AI upscaling in the future. He has keyboard and mouse and also he wants...
Hi moosEh,
Thanks for replying. I have already purchased a 12vHPWR cable earlier because none was with the card. It is good that you are offering to send me one free of charge and I would accept that however since I've ordered one already can I have a partial refund for the cost of the cable...
I didn't say I have a 600W PSU, please re-read my message (I have a Corsair 1000W), that's the cable's name "600W"
If I don't have a Zotac warranty with this card then my warranty is with PCS and for how long?
Bought my PC from PCSpecialist a couple of years ago, decided to replace my AMD 6700 XT with an Nvidia RTX 4090 using the upgrade option (Order No. 2598988). Card arrived today, a couple of issues/concerns
1) No power cable was in the box (was expecting a 3 or 4 plug cable) so can't install...
Oh good to hear. I see it's a bit heavier than it's competition but my last mouse was a Logitech g400 (and before that the MX518) which are both heavier than the deathadder. I almost got the Viper Ultimate or glorious model O. :D can't wait to use it.
I've just purchased the Razer DeathAdder V2 wired. I'm waiting for my pc to be built so haven't actually used it yet. I love how it looks! I hope I'll like it. I need a medium to large mouse and my grip is palm hold.
