Hi all, I'm increasingly using my PC for gaming, work and music and so want to upgrade my speakers. I currently use a pair of Edifier r1600tiii which are good, but looking for something with more oomph/better separation/increased quality. If I said I had a budget of £500-£1000, then what...

Thanks both. What’s the consensus these days on amd vs Intel?

Hi all, My GPU has just died and so I;m using this is an opportunity to start from scratch. I use my machine for gaming (including some light VR) and work. I have a budget of 3k and wiuld be looking for a good step up from my current system (specs below). I currently have: GTX 3080 (or I did...

The only modem I have is in my BT Smart Hub 2 but unfortunately you can't use it as a modem alone.

Hi all, We live in an absurdly large house (given for work purposes) and our current setup isn’t up to scratch (three floors, large walls etc). We need strong wi fi for work, gaming and streaming. I was looking at the Asus AX11000 pro, however I understand this does t come with a modem...

Hence wanting to swop!

Constant drop outs/having to reset the google wi fi network and also it seems I have two NATS which I think is causing an issue.

Hi all, I need advice as to to what new kit I need: I currently have a bt smart hub 2. Due to the size of my house I also have three google wi fi points. Unfortunately, as it’s a personal account (rather than a business account) I’m unable to just set the smart hub to be a modem only. I’m...

Thank you. I can't quite work out what the performance difference between the various ranges would be (bearing in mind it's a work machine).

Hi all, I have a 2016 model MacBook Pro. The time has finally come to change it - and I won't go back to Apple if you paid me! I'm looking for recommendations for a new Windows laptop please. It is ˀused pretty much predominantly for work purposes but I'd still like something snappy, quick and...

Hi all, I'd like to upgrade my 3080 to a 4080. I don't want to do any tinkering or OC - just want to plug in and enjoy! However, I'm not sure a) which one I can go with with my motherboard (ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING) and b) whether I can fit one in my case or if I need to...

Thanks all for your thoughts. Regarding the 2 GB, I realise this is an error on Speccy's part. I think I'll stick to the GPU for now, ideally a 4080. However, I'm not sure a) which one I can go with with my motherboard (ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING) and b) whether I can fit...

I thinka budget of c £1500. 4K gaming are the plans. Notice some modern games at max settings are starting to struggle a bit.

Hi all, I've come into some cash and have been toying with upgrading my GPU, however on reflection, I think I'd like to look at some broader upgrade possibilities. I wonder what your suggestions might be? Current specs are below. With thanks, James CPU Intel Core i7...

Yes, only happening with the Windows PC. All other devices (TV, laptop, phones) all running absolutely fine. It's BT broadband and connected via wi fi (through a Google Home network).

Just to add to this discussion, I bought mine about a month ago. I;m incredibly picky about tech but can honestly say I have no regrets with this purchase. Best monitor I've ever had.

Hi all, Seemingly out of nowhere I’ve started having some internet issues - hoping you may be able to help! Browsing has been very slow - but intermittently full speed. I’ve tried resetting my hub and changing dns settings however it’s still intermittent. When browsing does work at full...

Thank you. What would the difference between a gaming oriented version be compared to a non gaming one? James

Thanks very much, that's really helpful. There seems to be a far bit of price difference between the various 2TB NVMe SSD's out there. In layman's terms, what is the actual difference? With thanks.

Hi all, Would appreciate some suggestions about SSD upgrade as slightly out of the loop about what I can get. I am looking to upgrade my hard drive. I currently have a 500GB Samsung 970 EVO PLUS M.2 and am really looking for bigger - games loading from my backup hard drives seem to take an age...
