I hadn't even noticed the cooler on sck451's quote had changed from AK400 to PCS frostflow when I open it. Is that because the AK400 is sold out? I can't select it on the dropdown. Which one is the big brother?

Which would you go for instead?

Out of interest, what do you get for the extra £4 to go for a 7700X CPU rather than a 7700?

Superb - thanks so much for all your help. So unless anyone else screams against this build, or has any further feedback on yellow snow, I guess I'll go for this! Case FRACTAL FOCUS 2 ARGB GAMING CASE (BLACK) Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 7700 Eight Core CPU (3.8GHz-5.3GHz/40MB CACHE/AM5)...

Excellent. If I upgraded the 6750 XT in your build to the 7800 XT, would the CPU also need an upgrade to keep up with it? Could all the rest of the build stay the same?

If I was to go with the 7800 XT (which I assume you're implying is the best option my screen could handle), would I also need to upgrade the CPU? And would anything else in the build also need upgrading? And a more basic question: would this set up be able to handle most current games? Not with...

This is the quality insight I was after.

Here's a first attempt at a build. As a reminder, I have an LG 27GL850-B monitor (1440p 144 Hz) and am only looking for gaming. Trying to aim for £1.5k ish... Not a clue if this CPU / GPU / Motherboard / Case combo makes any sense together; and I'm also not sure whether the 1st SSD drive for...

Hi all, My wonderful i7 6700HQ / 16GB RAM / GeForce GTX 1070 "Defiance" laptop, purchased from PCS in 2017, has never let me down but is finally starting to fail at meeting the minimum requirements for new games (Starfield being a good recent example). So I've decided to finally take the plunge...

Hi all, I just purchased myself a gorgeous Defiance 17. It's perfect in every way except for the fact that whenever I change the settings of my touchpad (such as pointer speed as the default is painfully slow), the settings are reset to default every time I restart the laptop. It appears to be...
