I watched a few theory videos on what might happen to EA. Apple don't seem to be interested in gaming, while Amazon just don't have a clue how to make games. There are speculations that Sony might buy them, but no matter where they end up, nothing will bring back all the franchises and studios...

I hope so, but given that BF2042 is a colossal disaster, I don't know if EA will do what they usually do - cut their losses and blame devs for everything that went wrong with the game, then shut down the studio :cry:

Yes :p Again, I'm not trying to start a panic or anything, just would prefer to know in advance if there are some titles I simply can't run. I do like a bit of NFS, but if Frostbite doesn't want to play along, then it would be a shame. Having done some more googling, it /might/ be that only...

I don't think I can do that until I actually receive the computer first.

Actually, I found out about the SMT issues with Frostbite from NFS Payback's PC Gaming Wiki article. Then I did some more google searches and it would appear that quite a few other games have that problem as well, Cyberpunk, Rainbow 6 Siege, Battlefield 1, just to name a few. It's a bit...

Morning all. I've placed an order on a computer using Scott's template. Obviously with 2 bank holidays and a weekend straight after, it won't even reach pre-production until next week. In the meantime, I randomly decided to catch up on some steam curators and ended up finding out about some...

Do you mean the Corsair 4000D? If so, I'll just ignore the amazon review nitpicks and go with this case, since everyone here seems to be quite positive towards it.

Added to wishlist, ta!

That's fair, I know I can't dictate what PCS put into their desktops, but I do have a slight preference for open designs instead of fully enclosed cards, if only because it's much easier to clean them out without having to dismantle them completely. I know it's not really performant by any...

Right, before I get a headache from all these options, how big is a 6600 in terms of dimensions? And how loud, how easy to clean/spray with compressed air etc?

Thanks, Scott. I've been musing regarding GPUs and it seems that 1660S/3050/2060 are all similarly priced on PCS site, so is 2060 something you'd go for? As for my needs, they aren't the most demanding in the world, but at the same time I don't want to constrain myself in terms of hardware...

70 vs 110 quid does make a difference, and being paranoid about hardware temps, I will absolutely take good airflow over supposedly less room inside. Right, thank you all for the advice and hopefully I'll acquire this piece of tech soon.

Fair enough, and this does look good, however, I've checked out the case and there were quite a few complaints regarding the design, particularly how much space is inside and then some. Here's a batch of critical/negative reviews from Amazon in case you wanted to know more. Frankly, I don't mind...

Again, if £1000 mark is unattainable, then so be it. As for the current specs, they're as follows: Phenom 2 x4 3.4ghz Radeon HD5770 1GB 8 gigs of memory Asus M4A89 mobo As for your build: - case looks ok but I hope those LEDs can be turned off - mobo is fine, I guess, I don't know much about...

Ideally, the budget for desktop itself would be around 1k, give or take 200 for operating system and MS office, since I would definitely make use of those. I do have a 1080p monitor. Bought it quite a while ago but it seems to be doing okay and I don't really plan to go higher in terms of...

Hi all, Not sure if this is the right section, but here goes. Basically, my current desktop is far too old to be upgraded, so I'm looking to buy/build a brand new one. The main thing I'm after is high single core performance from 4 core/8 thread cpu with low power usage and thermal output. I...

Greetings PCS. For a while, there has been this annoying occurrence, best described as some clicking noise somewhere in the desktop case. It was initially ignored, as I was thinking it may have been some dust clogging up one of the case fans and decided to deal with it later when I do...

Alright, I'll make it rather quick. Since I had my new desktop from PCS, got everything installed and sorted, I noticed that system [Win7-Ult-x64] starts hogging more RAM than XP ever would, once uptime gets long enough. One way to prevent comp from running out of memory would be to upgrade to...
