    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New computer specs. Have I got it right? Advice please.

    Some minor tweaks below. I note that you're moving the 4TB drive across, with that in mind did you need the extra 4TB drive? It would be very much worthwhile having a backup drive but I would have this in a USB form, rather than in the PC itself. Regularly backing up anything important is a...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New PC suddenly not booting up

    Couple of minutes can be fairly normal with DDR5 RAM. Nothing to worry about. I believe my motherboard/RAM also states XMP rather than EXPO, it's compatible with both though so works fine. I did tweak mine manually but certainly the 6000Mhz profile was fine. When it's time for the next latest...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST LingLing - New generations guitarist

    It's the effortlessness that always amazes me. The way they can just be in the moment of the music as if it's playing for them and they're just enjoying it. Like a reverse instrument where the guitar is playing them.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST LingLing - New generations guitarist

    I've always loved the guitar. I've tried to learn in later years but I think I've tried to pick it up far too late, as I just don't have the patience to not be good right away. I can play a couple of songs, but I've never actually learned to play if that makes sense. Anyway, on LingLing, she's...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New computer specs. Have I got it right? Advice please.

    It's not good compared to what we would recommend. Given your needs and uses, it'll do the job though. It's better to try and avoid nit-picking metrics as the margins will never be noticed in real life. DDR5 will have a very high impact in Lightroom IMO. Depending on the Photoshop uses it'll...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Couple of concerns with new pc

    The RM can be a bit nosier as it has a traditional bearing, rather than the lev one that the x's have. Still agree regardless, unless you're especially sensitive to noises..... a regular sounding PSU shouldn't be OTT loud.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Suggestions for a replacement gfx card please

    If you're budgeting £700 you could get the 4070 and a bigger PSU at the same time. Or even an ATX3.0 equivalent.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Thoughts on this spec for gaming? COD/FIFA/Single player games

    Don't waste money on GPUs for future upgrading. It's not a worthwhile investment unfortunately. The rest of the build absolutely gets a benefit, but the GPU technology moves so fast that spending more to allow for future has diminishing returns. Far better to save the cash then in a year or 2...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Thoughts on this spec for gaming? COD/FIFA/Single player games

    The 4070Ti is going to be overkill at 1080p. I get the eSports blurb attached to attract the 240hz sales but the reality is that 99.9% of people won't see past the more typical 144hz offering. The elite, top end gamers get margin of error gains over 240hz yet the 500hz screens are selling...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Suggestions for a replacement gfx card please

    I would opt for the 4070 in your shoes. The RMx should have enough headroom to cover the spikes, or at least keep them enough at bay to be a very rare inconvenience. I wouldn't aim past that though.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Thoughts on this spec for gaming? COD/FIFA/Single player games

    I wouldn't opt for a single drive. better to get a small/fast drive for the OS only and a second fast/slightly slower drive for games and storage etc. Not sure on the 4070 TI, depends on your monitor. Silver warranty should be a no brainer I think. Other than that, it looks OK. IF you want...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Advice on build - Gaming / general office work / editing audio

    Are you purchasing the 3060 separately? Just that the initial build doesn't have a GPU in place. Getting anything for £1200 with a decent GPU is going to be impossible I imagine.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Asus RMA Woes

    Unlikely, I'm guessing there will be partnerships/contracts in place. Would be nice though.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST 10 months away, but one to keep an eye out for - Scorn October 2022

    I think I got lucky to get through that one so quickly. There are a few options and I don't think they would all end the same way :ROFLMAO:

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST 10 months away, but one to keep an eye out for - Scorn October 2022

    Started it yesterday afternoon. It's a thinker, no doubt. I'm not letting it beat me yet. I've gotten through the first obstacle and stopped there. Will pick it up soon. So far I'm enjoying it, I love games that engage the brain. It feels authentic too as there aren't any hints, you're in that...

    Installing now. Looks right up my street. Hard puzzles and a bit of shooting without having to be pin sharp on a controller. I was looking for something new to play today so that'll do nicely.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New Corsair mATX cases

    All planned, leaves room for an improved V2 ;) Ticking all the boxes in a one shot isn't good for business.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Spec Advise please!!

    Ahh, that changes things then. I would opt for the IIYAMA G-MASTER personally. It's IPS at least. Case FRACTAL FOCUS 2 ARGB GAMING CASE (BLACK) 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...
