new build

Hello, I have been gifted a RTX 2070 Super and I am planning to make a new build with it, as I am giving my current build to my partner. I don't need any peripherals. I am a 3D artist, so I need a lot of power for 3D rendering etc. Since this card supports raytracing, I need it to be powerful...

Hello, I am having some trouble with my first build where the computer powers on, but it won't go past the 'Press F2 or Del to enter Bios' - It stays on this screen and won't do anything. Both The green and amber lights are on the motherboard indicating issues for booting and DRAM. My build...

Hi, Searched and can't find anything on this. When completing my new build I was looking to load Win10 and had seen a good price of £41 for Win 10 Pro but on DVD. Whats the best way to do this for a new build without a DVD drive? I have no other older version of Windows either as I'm coming...

Hi, I have a SSD that has the boot drive and I was wondering if I can transfer that over and use it as a boot drive going forward. I am upgrading everything expect the HDD and SDD. Do I need to use a USB to install windows or can I just add my old SSD and it should recognise the boot drive. I...

Hi there, I'm speccing up a PC for a friend and they have an existing 1080ti GPU which they want to keep, but otherwise they have a budget of £1500. They're upgrading from an Intel 2600, which is obviously the bottleneck. He also has existing drives to move over, so only NVME boot is needed...

Hi, My name is Willowbark and it's been 5 years, 4 months and 21 days since my last build. I've had a few minor lapses in this time: Swapping out HDDs for SDD, upgrading memory and I've reseated a few processors on the sly. Really pleased with the machine from my last spec check post...

Hi guys, I am in the middle of a new build (listed below) I was planning to drop in a 2070 super. Obviously thinking the new 3000 GPUs were going to be more expensive. After the announcement it now turns out I can afford to drop in the 3080 to get 4K 60 or more (happy days!). But I’m wondering...

Hi, I’ve never done any sort of pc building but my son saved up a whole year (he’s 16) for a gaming pc and the prebuilt ones were overpriced for their components. I didn’t want him to be disappointed so I decided to built it with him, our components will be listed below, we have zero pc...

Hi all... i'm new to this forum and would appreciate any advice. I'm trying to build a home PC... suitable for multimedia tasking and basic gaming. It's been a few years since I last done my own build and I'm not 100% on compatibility - will all of these components work together? or is...

Hey everyone! I'm looking to buy a new system from OCUK, and I think I've got a really good setup for my budget and everything, however I am a little concerned as to the cooling. If I could get advice for the cooler, the power supply, and if the airflow in the case would be effective, I'd really...

Hi all, Putting together a gaming build for £980 maximum - thoughts on this? Competitor removed. Was going to get the RX 580 but discovered the 1660 SUPER at a decent price. It's for gaming at 1920x1080 - ideally 144Hz. Any changes I should consider? Just looking for ideas. Thanks!
