What are the full specs of your order? Some components are in desperately short supply worldwide...

An order on 13th Jan puts you on 24 WD by my reckoning. Can't remember what PCS set as their standard build time last month, but I know that it has gone up to the 30 working day mark.
Covid has caused some disruptions, both from supply shortages and workplace restrictions, with many staff working from home, reduced numbers able to build at a time etc. I think there are some stickies on here that give information directly from PCS staff.

When I got them they were all in stock and are only basic specs but I will send you all the specs in just a sec

Can we all see the specs or it's such a big secret that only Ubuysa see that? :oops: During your order parts may have been in stock but could run out until time for your build comes to be assembled so I wouldn't rely on that too much. Some people with longer waiting times may amend orders too... If we know your specs, we could talk more concrete as some builds with certain parts may take longer than the others to be built.

Interesting spec there...spending all your money on the Graphics card and ignoring the rest of the system..hopefully you have a 1440p monitor otherwise that GPU is a poor choice.

Unless gaming isn't something it will be used for of course, given it's been built on an Office foundation

No my budget is low and asked a guy that is familiar with pcs to help and told me to choose these specs

Shall I just have a refund and choose my own specs

I'd definitely make a post in the "Check My Spec" forum for advice and provide information on your total budget, monitor type (1080p, 1440p etc.) and purpose (gaming, type of work, etc.). Not sure you need to make a full refund given you should be able to amend each component in your order from your personal account > Order page.

The problem you have is that your spec is built around an Office motherboard...this is limiting in various ways such as RAM speed. Another problem is that you have a mid-level GPU which is fine if the budget is there...but when it is being put in at the expense of the rest of the system, it's an issue.

Your spec listed above was just over £800...if you could stretch that another £100, then you could get a good low level 1080p system with the option to upgrade to a much better graphics card down the road as needed. On you spec, if you wanted 1440p gaming at some point, you'd need to be replacing the power supply unit and all the wiring to accommodate it:

If you want to...the 850w is there to cover any potential upgrades to the GPU in future...as I said, if you might want to step up and enjoy the graphics 1440p offer or even 4k at some point, then that GPU has you covered. If you know that you will stay at 1080p for the life of the system or are not concerned about buying a new PSU down the line and rewiring the whole system, then go ahead

Or unless like Nursemorph said, if you dont have any interests in upgrading, then you can go even lower.
