    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST First time spec'ing PC

    I don't think the budget is realistic to include a 4070 unfortunately. You've picked some headline components and short-changed the rest of the build to make space in the budget. A DDR4 build would certainly not be recommended nowadays. We are firmly into the DDR5 era, getting anything else is...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST The Windows Sandbox

    Sandbox is fantastic. I think having a guide on the forum from a more avid user would be very welcome :)

    Slight side note. Have you seen the time warp lighting effect with the new link setup? It's wild!

    That's been on my radar for a while now. I really need to try and get a look at it. Especially now that I can proper binge :D

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Lockdown - What's Worth a Watch?

    Just finished Godzilla X Kong. You know what you're getting with these movies nowadays but I have to give credit on how it's been put together. More and more the showcase is on the Titans, as the original stylings always were. The supporting cast are basically cameo's, as we're only here for...

    It's not the prettiest but going by that fin array it looks like it will be function-tastic!

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Windows licenses

    Yes, absolutely. In fact we would always recommend this when it's an option as you can then spend the extra budget on shiny goodness :D Everything to do with everything is going to come down to budget. If you let us know the budget for the monitor and the budget for the PC we can look to get a...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST fury vs usyk (18th May 2024)

    Snr needs help IMO. I get that there's a very different culture in play, but a little bit of self awareness wouldn't go amiss. I'm looking forward to it. It's one of the very few heavyweight matchups left to see that are actually worth something.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Haven't done this years..

    If it's a gaming PC I would definitely get a gaming monitor. A 4ms response monitor doesn't sound close to ideal.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Ordered but doubts on case?

    I would definitely switch the RAM out. The performance hit for 4x vs 2x is drastic. Better to have a couple of fast drives to hold instruments & other resources. Putting everything on the primary drive is best avoided and can/will hamper performance. The slow drive isn't going to be much use for...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST reaction scores

    Could be 2 reasons that I can think of. The reaction addition came in 2 waves. One was just the like option, then the addition of other options was added. It's possible that the current total only adds up the newer variant reactions received, where the profile view shows them all. Another...
