    PCSPECIALIST Help an idiot out...

    Hi there, it's time for a new PC. I've been promoted and my my system is getting a little long in the tooth. I'm coming from a GeForce RTX 2070 Super, AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, 16 Gb Ram system with 2x2TB Samsung EVO SSDs. I use a (ludicrously overpriced and honestly disappointing) Razer Raptor 27 as...

    Thanks, I really appreciate the information and you taking the time to write these responses for me. I won't expect in-depth troubleshooting advice (I never expected all this either, but it's very kind of you all the same) :).

    Thanks very much. I'll probably follow this pretty closely and see what I can find. Yes, I meant cutting out exactly as you've described. It seemed to do it with one game - Outer Wilds - while under stress. I had just updated the GPU drivers. It could honestly be as simple as I'd allowed it to...

    No problem. Thanks for taking an interest. Could probably afford £350 max for three monitors I think down the line? Does that seem like a reasonable budget?

    No, I don't need a monitor. But a recommendation for two (or three) would be appreciated :)

    PCSPECIALIST £1000 To Spend On A New Baby / Is The Apex Pro A Good Purchase?

    Hi folks, I've been an avid PC gamer for around 15 years now but I've always been pretty terrible with hardware. My little old lady [Intel i5-4690K | 8GB Ram | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 | ASRock H97M | Samsung SSD 850 EVO etc.] is starting to have some issues with cutouts and whatnot and it's...
