I do realise all that but I suspect PCS could have secured more in the run up to Black Friday/Christmas. It is their own decisions on how much stock to carry that will have led to this. Anyway, I'm just frustrated as I am helping a friend of mine for his sons xmas present. I will see if I can...

yes, its November, they should indeed have planned for it over the last few months. I'm just very miffed that I am just too late.

That's PCS out for me then for a xmas present for someone. Bit silly really running out of key components like this.

Agree. The 'Keepa' chrome extension for Amazon pricing is simply the best invention ever. (Its like a Camecamelcamel chart that loads up on every product page.

That case is out of stock (again). Thats 3 or 4 cases now out of stock. I get lean stock management but the most popular cases..??!! I am ordering a PC tomorrow and have had to change case about 3 times :(

cheers all :)

will do, cheers

Hi, Does anyone know if I bought a PC now from PCS with a B450 motherboard and a 3100 processor, would it have the BIOS update necessary already for a future 5600x upgrade? I am spec'ing a PC for a friend so want to make it as easy as possible to upgrade in the future. They will happily do a...

I personally would not bother with a HDD at all now. I recently got a reasonably high spec pc with 1tb of M2 but also 3tb HDD for storage. but I wish I had pushed the boat out a bit for 2tb SSD to go with the M2. (And just use an external HDD if need more). The reason being it's surprising how...

Great, thanks. That's decided then, a B450 (or even B550), 16gb of Ram and a 1650S looks like the way to go. I would love to get a 3600 in there but it does look like a 3100 will have to do, although for the price it really looks like a sweet spot for budget 1080p gaming, quite fast and quad...

Hi, thanks again for the honest feedback. I do get this is not a recommended spec. With what you say in mind and a potential upgrade to the CPU in the future, why would the 1660S be too much? In other words are you saying that a B450 + additional 8gb RAM partnered with a 1650S would be better...

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I do understand, I have been here myself with my own sons. But they are going to buy a gaming PC in this budget, with or without my help. There is nothing I can do about that. I can however help them optimise what they do buy otherwise they will buy a package deal...

Hi, I am trying to find a way of speccing a gaming PC for £700 (with monitor) for some friends who require one for their 14 year old son who is new to gaming PC's. They don't have a huge amount of money so it's already a stretched budget. I would advise he get a new XBox/PS5 but there we go, it...

I personally would question you really do need an upgrade yet. There is always a debate about whether its worth waiting for new technology but in your case be honest and think whether your current set up is stopping you do anything really. Yes, it is stretching a 1440 144hz monitor but is an...

What is the spec of your old PC? ,I'm always interested in old PCs that still run well,after some upgrades imsure :)

You can send in your own case. I assume you could get one posted direct to them...??

In the meantime try re configuring it with a B450 motherboard and a 3300x AMD chip. Price and performance will be similar ish but its the latest chip and will be more future proof. Stretch to a 1650 super instead of the 570 You will probably then have the minimum spec that anyone would...

Bumping up for you. Hold off on buying. One of the moderators will have some good advice. In the meantime you might need a pcu cooler for that processor so should price in a liquid cooler, probably a corsair h100i or 1500i. They also usually recomend at least a 650w PSU for that build.

Cool, good to know, thanks.

That is weird, sorry I cant help but would be interesting to see the solution.
