@Scott @sck451 @SpyderTracks Thank you for all your help. Feedback has been very valuable, I will try my best to source parts second hand where possible, this is mainly just so I can have ago at building a PC and not worry if it messes up real bad :D One last question, a lot of you have stated...

Thanks for sharing I will have a look!

I think I get you, the motherboard supports the older M.2 2280 SATA 3, so I was looking at this: link However you are saying I should go for a 2.5" version instead - being cheaper, same read/write with more options with reputable brands. Like this: link This is all very new to me, I just...

@sck451, thank you for your comments and it will most likely be sold, so I suppose it would make sense to upgrade it in a way that it would be compelling for potential buyers. Again this is mainly more for me and getting experience somewhat building a PC also, making a profit would be nice but...

@SpyderTracks thank you for the suggestions! What case would you opt for if something different to the Corsair one? I quite like plain and minimalist design, not too big and has to be black.

Hi All, Just looking for some advice really, I haven't done any building of PC's before this as both my previous where sourced through PC Specialist however the first of the two I am looking to upgrade/improve slightly just to test myself more than anything. it will either be sold or gifted...

Thank you for the feedback, is there any idea when they will be released?

Yeah thought so, what would your recommendation be for the best M.2 SSD? I’ll be waiting until the prices drop don’t worry. I was told that the power supply wouldn’t be much of an issue, but that was for the 3070 Ti, Would there be much difference with the 3089 Ti.

I have an Eve (now Dough) Spetrum 4K 144hz

Hi All, I am looking to upgrade my current system with a better graphics card. I built the below system through PC Specialist in 2021 but re-used my Nvidia GTX 1070 from my previous built just because of the prices at the time. I am looking at either a RTX 3070 Ti or RTX 3070 Ti. It will be the...

Thank you for the feedback! I’ll leave the motherboard as it is and create a new thread for the other issue!

Really appreciate your comments. As you can see this build is quite old, was hoping to upgrade and give to my dad to get him back into the RTS gaming! Would you recommend getting a newer (budget friendly) motherboard that supports PCIe 4? I was looking at the Samsung Evos so thats probably what...

Sorry I dont think you understand, its going to be gift for someone else. I already have a much better gaming setup. Just wanted some advice on a “moderate” build.

Hi All, I am looking to upgrade my old "gaming" computer to bring it somewhat up to date to be able to handle games, looking to gift to a family member. It was built by PC Specialist in 2017 but looking to install/upgrade everything myself. It doesn't have to be able to be a beast just...

I recently purchased the below pc about 6 months back. I have been playing a lot of Arma 3 recently and realised that it still struggles on 4k to give above 30fps. Ideally I would want to be able to play with all settings on Ultra and have a steady 60fps. I was thinking about installing another...
