    PCSPECIALIST M2 SSD drive might have died

    Okay, followed your advice and reseated the drive in it's original slot. No progress there, still not showing up. Removed it and tried it in another slot (fortunately my motherboard has 4 slots) still no luck with the disk in a new slot, double checked Drive Management in case it showed up as a...

    PCSPECIALIST M2 SSD drive might have died

    Hi guys, I have a problem with my secondary SSD disappearing. I'm pretty new on SSDs and NVMes so I would appreciate any help you can offer. I bought the rig from PCS back in March and haven't made any changes to it since then. I'll include the system specs below but the disk drives are as...

    PCSPECIALIST Somewhat future proofed gaming rig

    £285 on PCS for that monitor. Nothing about it being a refurb here. The same monitor on OCUK is a refurb for that price. Thanks for your help everyone I've just placed my order. :D

    PCSPECIALIST Somewhat future proofed gaming rig

    I use a decent gaming headset most of the time but just for the ease of use when I don't have standalone speakers the specs of the ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQZ 27" look comparable to the AOC Gaming Q27G23 - 27" that was linked previously, at least to my eyes. I'm only learning about the current state...

    PCSPECIALIST Somewhat future proofed gaming rig

    I've just been reviewing the specs and I noticed that the monitor suggested doesn't have speakers which is a real shame as everything else about it looked ideal. The closest equivalent I was able to find was the ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQZ 27" which is listed on the site. Would you recommend this...

    PCSPECIALIST Somewhat future proofed gaming rig

    Ok final question for the day before I disappear to consider my choices. If I did opt into an i5 12600K over the i5 12600 would I need to change anything else like the motherboard or PSU to support it? If not would you recommend it for the extra £55?

    PCSPECIALIST Somewhat future proofed gaming rig

    If you'd asked me if I could be persuaded to use water cooling with a single paragraph before I read your reply I'dve said no chance, yet somehow you managed to address my concerns and explain your reasoning very concisely. I think I'm actually going to go with all your suggested changes. Your...

    PCSPECIALIST Somewhat future proofed gaming rig

    Ok so I have a few questions if you don't mind? I see you've opted for an i5 12th gen over the i7 11th gen is that an improvement or a budget saving. I was concerned I might bottleneck peformance of the system with the wrong processor. I think the main change is the graphics card swapping to a...

    PCSPECIALIST Somewhat future proofed gaming rig

    Hi guys, First time posting here. I'm attempting to get a decent gaming rig that will last me for several years, something like 5+ ideally. I've avoided going too deep on graphics card and monitor as the price spirals out of control on cards and monitors twards the top end. As I can't really...
