I know it's quite a bump up with another £400 but I guarantee, you don't want to go as low as you initially suggested, it would lead to a throwaway system that would become end of life far shorter than is needed by spending not that much more. So in the long run you'd pay substantially more than...

This is where I'd be looking at the lowest level, this is with the understanding you can carry across your existing windows license, and factors in best practice drive setup, although you may already have an HDD you can carry across: Case CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE...

You may be looking at minimum requirements of the software, that's never what you'd design a system to as it's just enough to get you entry without factoring in that you're buying this system to last 7 to 10 years! Software is always developing and system requirements just increase release after...

Sony have to backtrack on this, it's absolute madness and I have no idea what makes them believe it's acceptable at any level. The only benefit is to artificially boost their PSN numbers so they can parade that to investors that I can see, can't see any other practical requirement for it...

I'm not trying to create any scare stories, anyone buying off PCS, it's always worth paying for a good warranty direct with PCS exactly to avoid complications with manufacturer warranties, PCS are very trustworthy and have an extremely hands on approach at taking ownership of fixes themselves...

You can change a local user account to a Microsoft account at any time, you don't need to reinstall windows https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/switch-from-a-local-account-to-a-microsoft-account-395203bf-9f1b-eb24-b042-5b8dae6c1d20 The only time windows would be restricted is if it's...

That’s very true, a proper battery merchant is Farnell, used to use them when I was working for a company building hardware, they’re reliable and I still buy specialist fuses from them for my audio equipment https://cpc.farnell.com/duracell/pc2032/procell-lithium-coin-cell-3v-2032/dp/BT06910...

Argos should be ok, they're official. If you want an industry grade battery, then there's actually ProCell which is what all the professionals use in corporate environments, they really are worth it, and not a lot more expensive...

Duracell are decent, but make sure you get them from somewhere reliable, believe it or not, there are a lot of fakes on Amazon and other places.

They're all the same pump, the different models have different levels of RGB as you scale up, whatever fits you best.

With AutoCAD do you know if you're doing any flow analysis as that hugely increases requirements? How complex are the models being worked on? Do you have any idea of how many parts and what sort of tolerances? With these 2 apps, it's literally scale up as your budget can reach based on the...

They don’t need to replicate it, no AIO should ever who those symptoms, the cooler is not suitable for the processor and as such is having to work far harder than it’s designed to, it’s only a matter of time before it fully fails. Needs to be replaced

With regards to what? If it’s done it once and corrected, it doesn’t mean it’s better, should never happen. Needs replacing. But as said, I wouldn’t replace it, that cooler isn’t really suitable anyway so will have been working far harder than it’s designed to which will mean a short lifespan no...

Ooo, so it’s a 5 year warranty on that drive: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-briefs/ssd-760p-product-brief.pdf It would be worth trying an RMA direct with Intel, even though your warranty with PCS has run out you’re still covered by manufacturers warranty...
