As others have suggested, send the system back and get a more suitable build for less money. It's genuinely a no brainer. I know you may believe you have found a solution, but holding the CPU back isn't what you paid for. It's a very poor spend and a learning curve for sure, the good news is...

If that was mine it would annoy me. I would need to sort the motherboard cable and hardline the lower cooler lines. Looks the part though, would need to be red for me :ROFLMAO:

I have a feeling you may be misunderstanding. PCS build the system for you, you just select what goes into it via the configurator and they build to that spec. You don't need to come up with the spec on your own though, we will gladly help with that side of it. I put together some helpful links...

@Dazu I would contact PCS directly as I think this is an issue with the configurator. I've highlighted to the Admins but they aren't on much so for a quicker resolution it may be better to ask directly.

Done :)

Didn't watch all of it, had a little nosey through it though and caught some snip discussions. Pretty fair from what I could see. They're much more polite with the fanboi contingent than I would be. Imagine criticising an outlet for bringing news of an issue to you purely because you feel the...

Yeah, £300 gets you a really nice monitor nowadays :)

Bargain IPS monitor option...

I'm not so happy with the cooler but the rest of the build has been rounded out. With £200-£300 on a monitor you could aim for 1440p gaming, but unfortunately you would need more budget on the system for that to be ideal. I would probably opt for the 1440p monitor just now and turn down the...

The power supply should be available in your spares/upgrade options (if stocked of course). If you can't see it I would just give PCS a call and see what they can do. You certainly shouldn't need to send the laptop in, it would just be the charger getting shipped out.

Be sure to get some advice if you're not 100% in touch with all the goings on. I've put a collaboration of hints, tips & info in the below. Have a look through and either have a play with the configurator to get a spec and post it up, or just give us your requirements and we'll put something...

Welcome to the forum. What are your uses for the PC? The URL for the build is always required for assisting with builds but I don't think Intel would be recommended so can be omitted in this case. Little bit of reading here for you to give you some insight into our processes and considerations...

As above. The use case is key to the consideration. If it's to play mine sweeper or use an office suite at 4k then all will be fine and dandy. If it's a gaming rig then the order of upgrades will be: PSU - 1000w would be the minimum recommendation. Good choice for 1440p, better with 1200w or...

It's definitely the future of AIOs IMO, but it's not quite there for me to jump out for it. I love it all being built in and I don't mind the bulk on the radiator but that screen looks weird to me and isn't something I would have just yet. I think the aesthetic needs a bit more work for it to...

You've not responded with your configuration to show yourself as a PCS customer. I'm not sure how many forums you join where the members are at your beck and call but finding this forum an outlier is a good thing where I'm concerned. @spacoom, I'm going to lock the thread. If you've...
