    PCSPECIALIST Opinions on a build

    I got a reply from the support today and they asked me what CPU and motherboard I want to change to and they're going to check whether it can be swapped. I'll probably end up in the same boat as @sibun1 (needing to cancel and reorder anyway), but it's worth a shot as all the other components...

    PCSPECIALIST Opinions on a build

    This is what I sent yesterday: Now the last statement isn't true any more as I do want to switch to AMD regardless. Another complication is that I amended my current order with some tweaks... I'm definitely not going to be their favourite customer ;) I will link them the new spec in the reply...

    Alright, I'll see how it goes — I want to wait for the reply for my previous email regarding keeping the queue position before I contact them again, however if my PC goes into the building stage before then (I doubt it'd be that early but who knows), I'll contact them sooner on the webchat.

    That's where I looked and it mentions a 14 day period, however as far as I see it's 14 days after I receive it. Based on that it seems like I can just do it via email.

    I should've asked earlier, but well, at least it was before I have actually received it ;) What is the best way to cancel, should I just do it via email? I looked on the website but all I found is this: And I didn't see any form.

    In that case I will cancel then, but I will wait for the reply to my email — perhaps I will be able switch without too much of a delay. I admit, my build was a bit of a last minute decision — until the evening of the 17th I was still considering getting 3090 instead, but then realised 3080 will...

    Never did a fully clean install, I only did a 'soft' one few times with keeping all the programs and files when the windows update broke, so my install is... let's go with not ideal. The only time I opened it was to add more RAM a few years ago. Another problem started (I think) early this year...

    PCSPECIALIST Opinions on a build

    We'll see what they say in the email, I think it's reasonable to expect a reply by Wednesday (at least they were relatively quickly responding to my 3080 questions). In case they can't hold my spot in the queue, I amended the Intel build to be up to date with the tweaks to the AMD one (mainly...

    PCSPECIALIST Opinions on a build

    Thanks! I thought about it more and decided to downgrade the hard drive to 4TB — 8TB is a big overkill, and if I do ever run out, I can always buy an extra one in the future (at least the configurator allows to add a 3rd and a 4th hard drive, so there must be space for it). I emailed the...

    PCSPECIALIST Opinions on a build

    I'll try to contact them (via email first, I prefer written communication even if it means waiting a little longer) and see what they tell me. A few details though: 1. I'm set on 64 GB RAM, I have 16 in both my old laptop (upgraded from 8 a couple of years ago) and work Mac and I'm really often...

    PCSPECIALIST Opinions on a build

    My main concern with cancelling is that I'd lose my spot in the queue for the 3080, or would it be possible to talk to support and keep it? I wouldn't mind waiting a little bit longer, however if the difference is going to be months, then I'd rather stay with X299 unless it's a really bad and...

    PCSPECIALIST NVidia 3000 series confirmed details

    Here are my numbers: Processed Date 17-09-2020 Pre-Production Date 18-09-2020 But while I did order on the 17th, it was quite late (processed time claims 22:42), so there are likely still plenty of orders ahead of me. I tried to question them a bit last week, but best I got is that my...

    So you're suggesting ditching the sound card altogether? I'm not a lot into audio so as long as it's decent I'll be fine — I don't know much about hardware so I genuinely thought you need a separate one. Just in case though — if the board audio does sound bad, how hard would it be for a newbie...

    PCSPECIALIST LG 32UL500 or ASUS VG289Q?

    In that case I'll wait a bit more and get a 144Hz one, if it really is that different then it will be exciting to try it out as I've spent years not knowing better than 60Hz. Thanks a lot!

    PCSPECIALIST LG 32UL500 or ASUS VG289Q?

    Thank you for the advice. I opened a new thread about the build itself here. As for the monitors and frame rate, how big of a difference is between 60 and 100+ from a human experience? I've heard several times that a human eye can't tell the difference between 30 and anything above 30, however...

    PCSPECIALIST LG 32UL500 or ASUS VG289Q?

    I ordered a new build on the 17th of September (and I can't help but hope that I will get to see it before November), and I'm wondering about an affordable 4K monitor. I've narrowed it down to LG 32UL500 and ASUS VG289Q, and I'm leaning more towards LG. An important factor for me is how dark it...
