    I'm wanting to buy a new one and have had help recently - here's the proposed spec...it's over what I wanted to spend but think it will be worth it https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-am4-gen3-pc/YYFmZ9hKE0/ Just a note - on the spec I printed out, the Hard drive is...

    Thanks for your advice - it makes sense to me. I wouldn't want all my files on a USB stick, partly for ease of use. Could you recommend a secondary drive here? Would the primary drive be C: and the other one D:?

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Power Source Weak

    Back in 2011, when I first bought my PC Specialist PC, the forum advised me to have two hard drives for performance. The new PC configuration has only one - a 1TB Intel SSD Drive. Now, I'm a low usage user in that I mainly use Office, and online stuff, apps like Atticus for formatting, Spotify...

    Thank you Tony! I definitely need Windows and Office as I'm using my son's 6th form account ATM and once he does his A levels, no more Windows. Also, the wi-fi card is essential as I am online all the time wirelessly, unless this is different to a network card, but anyway, I really need it. I...

    IRLRobinS is a genius! Now, why did that never occur to me? So, we can remove the drawer at the top of my desk unit, which allows the following dimensions for a tower case: H: up to 600 !!! Yipppee!! W: 240mm max D: 405mm max Now all I need is a nice spec to go in it, like Tony's above, but...

    I love the look of it, but it is too wide!! I will ponder some more over the available cases, I think. Question, Tony - what does the Wi-fi excluded mean? GIGABIT LAN PORT + Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi excluded on A320I-K) And lastly - performance wise, are you happy that I'm not downgrading too many bits of...

    Thank you Tony. It's a real shame about the standard tower cases - they're either too tall or too deep for my PC - there is still airspace around the unit and I've never had a problem with overheating. But these cases are so bland, with no lights! I've attached a picture so you can see my...

    I can't see' unique url to reconfigure' anywhere. I cannot find a link at the bottom of the configuration page, and when I repost this link it comes up with my quote, but changes when I put it here! https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-sff-gaming/Un3avy5bS5/ Un3avy5bS5/...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Power Source Weak

    Hello Tony, Thank you so much for explaining this (although it's still technically deep!) So you're saying, upgrade the power supply, downgrade the CPU slightly, knock off the Anti-virus software and Bob's your uncle? I have added the link to my original specification - please let me know if it...

    Hello Tony, Thank you for your advice - I'm not sure I completely undersood the 3rd paragraph starting 'However.' I'm not playing flight sims or hungry games, streaming etc. Assassin's Creed would prob. be the top end game I would play, but it's not a priority. Are you saying the upgraded...

    https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/configuration/2432051/ My nephew, who's completing his networking degree, and just did a year's WE at Cisco, has been looking over this replacement for my old PC. First he said the Graphics card (4GB Nvidia GTX 1650) was 'very weak', so this spec has the upgrade...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST No Glaring Mistakes?

    Hello, I'm a first time builder. This PC will be used for MSoft Office, getting emails/online and some gaming from disc. I was advised to up the power supply to 450W. I will also be connecting wirelessly to my husband's Mac, hardwired in the other room, via the wireless card. That's about it...
