    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Advice on build (updated)

    Getting inside budget is easy, just forego the X3D chip (the X3D is the best gaming chip on the market but the 7700 isn't to be sniffed at). You could save a further £50 on the cooling if you wanted, as the 7700 doesn't need this level of cooling, but personally I would keep it as it'll allow...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Advice on build (updated)

    This is a little over budget but it's a monster 1080p build. I would suggest that you don't want to stick with 1080p forever so I would have eyes on a monitor and GPU upgrade next year. The build will absolutely cater for that, all you will need is an appropriate GPU, you swap it out and sell...

    Contact them for the RMA information. The panel might have an extended warranty on it's own (Unlikely, but plausible). If the cost is too much you can then look at alternatives: 1. If you're feeling brave, get a replacement panel and change it yourself. 2. Live with it as is and plug it into...

    7900GRE is the best value card by a margin right now, but it's not quite as powerful as the TI Super so you would need to look at the XT. Similar price but the XT offers more performance for flat panel rasterization. The only down sides with AMD is they aren't there with VR yet and the...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Help a dum dum out :)

    X3D is definitely the biggest game changer for gaming, but AM5 (and AMD in general) are really crushing it when it comes to performance per watt. 40 series GPUs from Nvidia have given a good uplift in performance but their pricing was all over the place. AMD are making great headway on the GPU...

    Can you plug it into a monitor? Just to see that if it carries over there. I think it may be the screen, which is a far cheaper fix than GPU. RMA is definitely required though.

    I think they'll put a rear fan in regardless but it's definitely not necessary.

    Looks spot on. You could maybe consider the MP600 Pro for the second drive, that way you could have 4TB of fast storage and never need to worry about game space.

    Not sure when you're looking at this information from but there are no differences in most of the features and uses between brands. The only limitation with PCS on ASUS is the 64GB of RAM as it's limited to 5600. This isn't an Asus limitation now, it's just a limitation with the PCS testing...

    Some minor changes I would recommend below. I wouldn't opt for the 990 in honesty. For your query. The initial issues at launch were found on Asus but they related to all manufacturers after investigation. AMD put changes out in the base files for all manufacturers so there aren't those...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Seeking Recommendations for an Efficient, Upgrade-Friendly Desktop for Image Processing and AI (Budget: £2100-£2500)

    Correct on all accounts :) The 4070Ti Super is the best value Nvidia card in my opinion. It gives a good amount of vRam (which most are critical with Nvidia on) and it's a great performer. The option is always there to increase the GPU power down the line, even an upgrade to the likes of the...

    Below is the ultimate but I think it over-shoots your requirements. Let me go through some of the highlights and thinking. CPU - I'm fairly certain this is far more than you need. I wasn't sure about the AI and whether it was solely, or primarily a GPU threaded process. I believe nowadays most...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Pc not stable with xmp on. Help!

    To keep your warranty, yes. They test the BIOS revisions as they come out. Any instability or errors caused by the BIOS they will make note of, hence the gated warranty check for users. I would contact PCS and ask for their advice on which BIOS revision to install. Technically you have...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Am I good for cooling?

    The below gets you on target for the budget. The 4060Ti isn't a great 1440p GPU but it'll do a decent enough job. I've had to lower the CPU as well. This won't be an overly strong performer as a workhorse but it'll do fine for photoshop etc. The only down side for video editing or rendering...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Am I good for cooling?

    The monitors aren't going to be ideal for your gaming uses. Only being 60hz is both good for performance and bad for visuals. It'll be easy to run a 60hz monitor but it's definitely going to be a bottleneck. 1440p won't scale well on a 4k monitor (it doesn't divide) so I would definitely steer...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Pc not stable with xmp on. Help!

    You're definitely going to struggle with that cooler. The PSU is very much borderline with that CPU & GPU. If you get a spike it's likely going to CTD or bluescreen. For your current issue, my best guess is that you haven't updated the motherboard BIOS since receiving the system. There have...
