    Ordered a 5900X build at 2.02pm Nov 5th. All other items in stock (no GPU build). Had an automated email over the weekend with an estimated build date of 30th Nov.

    PCSPECIALIST Zen 3 Ryzen 9 5900x/5950x

    Damn I did the same (no GPU)! I even ordered with the cheapest 4Gb RAM so I can replace it when I know what is best on the 5900X. Ended up having to order with the overpriced 1000W ROG Strix PSU though. It's moved to pre-production today, not ordered a build in many years so not sure if that...

    Not unless you've already managed to order a 5000 series Ryzen it won't

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    You will never have any issues with 10GB VRAM at 1440p. This is only a potential issue at 4k and currently only few games (or modded high texture games). Whether it becomes an issue after 1 or 2 years is guesswork but for the vast majority of games (at ultra settings at 4k) it will be a non...

    PCSPECIALIST Looking to Build A PC for new Flight Sim

    I'm looking to do a similar build in November. Regarding this build, why are there 3x drives? Surely 1 would do?

    PCSPECIALIST Rtx 3080 short supply upon launch.

    Now that the new GPU’s (and soon new ryzen’s) are coming out I am looking to buy. I know the new cards will likely be hard to get hold of but if I am able to secure a card via 3rd party (assuming I can't get one quickly with yourselves), is it possible to send to you to put into my new build?

    PCSPECIALIST What's the difference between Vortex 3 and Vortex 3 Elite?

    I only ask as I setup the same spec on both configurators and the elite came out almost £400 more expensive and after comparing base specs, the elite only had an extra USB port! I'm clearly missing something, can anyone enlighten me please?

    PCSPECIALIST Advice on this spec regarding PSU

    Hi Guys, I'm building the beast spec below and have actually already ordered. Just want some quick feedback regarding the PSU I've taken with it. I'm not planning to overclock it and assuming I don't add anything extra to this setup in the future, do you think I'm good to go with a 650W or...

    PCSPECIALIST Can I use an oem serial key with an installation from a retail version?

    The situation is that I have ordered an oem copy of Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) but it's going to arrive after my laptop arrives. However, I have a retail version (which I used for my desktop) and was wondering if I can just use it to install Windows 7 on my laptop and just activate it when...
