    Headset recommendation please

    Hi @MissChief, that does look like a really nice headset, how well does it do 3d for gaming? Been quite a fan of sennheiser for many years now :)

    Headset recommendation please

    Hi, As per title I'm looking for a headset, will be my first time purchasing one so I have nothing direct to go against. I listed the product page to show the most sold option, and it returned the Razer Kraken X Lite 7.1. This is within my budget, but I could go a little further if the gains...

    GPU upgrade advice

    Cheers for the quick response, is much appreciated. Looks like I gotta put together about 6-700, so it'll prob take me a couple of months. I'll come back once I'm ready to buy and see what my options are then. Ta :)

    GPU upgrade advice

    I've not really set one yet - i'll be saving up for a little while if needed. Should have added as well, my screen is 144, so it's 1440p @144Hz. Cheers

    GPU upgrade advice

    Hi guys, I've recently upgraded my system to the spec in my signature, and my old 580 is in dire need of an upgrade. I have a 27" 1440p screen so that's my target res for gaming. I'd like to max out games at 2k for a couple of years. What should I be looking at for a gpu to match the rest of...

    Budget build

    Turns out I can build an i5 12400 rig on a Gigabyte B660 GAMING X, with 16GB of corsair 3600 for a little less than what I linked my original build for...just a massive shame I can't but from here. Will be my first build from a competitor since the 90's, I've been buying from here since. Many...

    Budget build

    I can't see any of the 12400's on sale here tho, only the 12600 which alone is close to the cost of my build? If I can get a build linked with this cpu, that would help loads. Budget wise if it helps, I'd be more comfy at around £350 - i could stretch to £400 as per my OP, but £3-350 would be...

    Budget build

    Hi, My old 3550K has bit the dust, I think my board is dead, so I need to get something in place asap, only I'm quite poor atm :( Gaming wise I'm quite varied, I was playing a lot of D2R, but I'd like the option of playing some nicer games liked RD2, even if I can't max them out at present. I...

    Disk replacement to rebuild raid

    Cheers for coming back to me, my nas is a netgear readynas. I don't think it's all that great a unit, but all I really do is download 1080p content to, and play locally from it. I think it uses some quirky ass netgear raid standard called x-raid...but I do believe x-raid allows for expansion...

    Disk replacement to rebuild raid

    Hi guys, I've had a disk fail in my 2 drive nas so I need to replace one, but they were quite old disks. The model listed in there is a ST300DM001 - 1ER166. Do I need to source the same exact model to rebuild the array, or can I add in any 3TB drive? Could I please get a recommendation of...

    It's just me right? Or does this happen to everyone?

    Did you install windows 11 rather than a usb kb/mouse? There's been a good few pointers on here indicating it could be your bluetooth causing the problem, have you ruled this out? Easy step.

    I will never buy from a competitor again

    Nail on head here tbh, 100 %. I had so many issues with parcel farce when I was in a block of flats. I won an xbox, they failed to deliver it 3 times stating no one was in, which there always was, I ended having to drive to their distro to pickup my own parcel.

    PC upgrade for 2k gaming

    Hi, As per OP, I can't do anything with 4k - my screen is 2k @144Hz. Starting to think I'll most likely spend the extra and go 550 board with a 5600X to ensure I'm covered, I don't know what card I'll end up with yet. Worse case looks like I'll spend about £100 extra which isn't a massive deal.

    PC upgrade for 2k gaming

    wow...really? That does sway the budget more towards the lower end, I thought there would be significantly more in it. Also makes forking out a stack more to only get pcie4 somewhat less ideal. Any alterations to suggest on the build linked in post #2?

    PC upgrade for 2k gaming

    Hi...cheers for your reply, The cpu I listed is actually bundle - it has a 550 board & ram. I was thinking of the 5600 over the 3600 as I hope to be upgrading my gpu with 3-4 months (maybe black friday :) ) I thought the 5600 would drive a higher end gpu better. My PSU could well be the cause...

    PC upgrade for 2k gaming

    Will I be looking at the right level of card with a 2060 / 2070 in mind? I want to be able to play games like RDR2 maxed out at 2k. From looking into our prices, I'm looking at around £130 extra to upgrade the ryzen and to gain pcei4, that's a pretty close one to call.

    PC upgrade for 2k gaming

    Cheers for the quick reply there. Would I not lose much performance dropping down to a Ryzen5 3600? I probably should have indicated I will most likely end up with something around a 2060 / 2070, would the spec you've linked be adequate to drive that card? I'd like to get something together on...
